Lena, Illinois
Spend the holidays, weekend, week or longer in a country setting in a vintage, but carefully renovated 1910 farmhouse! While we're in the country, we also are close to many attractions! Galena, IL shopping! A 45 minute drive, but much lesser cost than rentals in the Galena area. Dubuque, IA - only 1 hour away. Day trips for site seeing, gambling, boat rides! Madison - Wisconsin's state capitol! So much to do and about than 1.25 hours away. Easy, scenic drive. (We're located 25 south of Monroe, WI, and 9 miles from the WI border) Milwaukee and Chicago - 2 hour drive! And our Country Escape is well worth it!
We will be opening again in Spring 2023. Our first guests stayed in July 2022 and our last were Christmas time 2022. We haven't been open, "up and running for very long". Our rehab projects took so much longer than we expected. However, we're opening mid-May until ... Probably Christmas 2023! We have availability for Memorial day weekend and Labor Day, July 4th is already booked!
Please be assured that you will find mostly everything needed for your stay. I can't say everything because I don't know everyone's needs, but ... read our reviews to learn what people said about our Country Escape! We are experienced vacation rental owners! We've been doing this since the early 2010's. Our winter home in Queen Creek AZ has a small house which is used for others looking to escape harsh winters. We are experienced having renters on the same property as we live on. We've actually made wonderful friends with our renters.
Rolling lawn areas, woods with trails, expansive outdoor living areas including rugged fire pit and propane fire pit table. Home retained vintage charm while offering modern amenities.
Owner occupied! But don't worry, we like our privacy also. :) Separate living and outdoor areas from our guests. 2 entrances used solely by guests during their stay. Locked doors inside that prevents access to the owner quarters (a 2nd floor hallway, and the attic!) If this gives you pause, please contact us. We are experienced in this set up and have put measures in place to ensure our guest's comfort. All of our 2022 guests have stated they'll be coming back if at all possible!
Great house and Rob is a really nice guy definitely would stay there again
This home was everything and more we ever could have hope for. It was a very relaxing stay, and we cannot wait for the opportunity to return! Thanks, Rob!!
My daughter thoroughly enjoyed playing in the huge open space in the backyard, walking the paths in the woods and taking golf cart rides with Bob. The house was beautifully decorated and very clean. Lots of personal touches to make it feel like home.
We needed a place near our mom's assisted living facility for our family Christmas. This place did not disappoint. The owners were so accommodating. They put up beautiful Christmas decorations even when we said it was not necessary but it so added to the warm feeling. Everything we needed for meal preparation was there. When weather changed the timing of our arrival and departure, they accommodated on that as well. We hope to come back in the future.
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful and unique place. My family just loved it. Special appreciation from our granddaughter for the air bed. It will be a nice option for your future guests. Which we hope to be ourselves some time. Note: you have given a lot of thought and care in stocking this lovely place with anything we looked for and more! Have a beautiful fall!!
We could tell from the pictures this was a very nice house. We where more then impressed upon arrival. Rob and Barb are very friendly owners. We look forward to needing a reason for a return trip to the area so we can rent it again.
What a great experience! The home is beautiful, spacious, and well-appointed. The setting was perfect for us, with plenty of everything we needed, both indoors and out, and very gracious, accommodating hosts. Will definitely stay there again on our next trip to the area!
