Stayed Jul 11, 2025A really nice spot to retreat to after exploring the area each day. Rehana and Joe put a lot of themselves into their property, the bird sanctuary, and this very cool cottage. We would definitely recommend and will try to come back soon!

Stayed Jun 26, 2025My girlfriend and I live in Chicago so this was a great escape from the city. We loved seeing the rabbits, chipmunks and birds. The location is 15-30 min from so many great places like lake Geneva and Woodstock for example.

Stayed Jan 11, 2025We were able to check in a tad earlier as I checked the renter beforehand which was great because I didn’t want to have to find the location in the dark. Such kind hosts and the house was adorable and perfect for the night.

Stayed Sep 28, 2024Very nice place for an overnight stay. You do hear highway traffic at night. We just turned on a fan for white noise. We didn't spend much time at the house but it was nice to have a place available in the area. The hosts answered questions quickly and we're friendly.

Stayed Aug 10, 2024I rented the property mostly based on the fact that it was in a relatively dark sky area in relation to Chicago. The house was charming. We were surrounded by the bird sanctuary & woodland. The turkeys were next to the house & we never once tired of hearing their calls. Rehana & Joe were very busy preparing for an event but still were helpful & responsive with everything we asked & needed. The path in the back was so pretty. We held a bonfire as we watched the meteor shower. 3
