Located minutes from the Mississippi riverfront and Burlington's Historic Downtown, this beautiful old home is spacious and perfect for hosting small intimate gatherings with family and friends. A stay at this property offers its guest a homesteading experience that may include fresh eggs from our chickens, fresh fruit and veggies from our garden, and baked goods like my famous chocolate chip cookies, artisan style homemade breads and pastries.
All dependent upon availability and time ofyear.

We know that you’ll love this space as much as we do! This gorgeous old home is a two level house with three bedrooms located on the upper level, along with a front loading washer and dryer, master bathroom, which includes walk-in shower, and a long winding staircase that takes you back in time and back to the main level of the house.

The main level boasts a LARGE, beautiful kitchen perfect for cooking and entertaining! But, our favorite part of this property, is our back deck and covered pergola, as well as our garden behind the house. We’ve spent the last five years cultivating the land and growing food in the various beds my husband constructed, as well as through the orchard of fruit trees that align the property.

We enjoy being outside all year round, but the winters can be a little challenging lol! The rest of the time we definitely enjoy the peace and quiet that we’ve been able to create within the space and nature right in the middle of town. I know you’ll love it too!

The back deck offers a wonderful space for entertaining! With the patio furniture, BBQ grill and porch swing, it’s really a great spot for relaxing and enjoying time with family and friends…

You will have access to the entire house during your stay, as well as a small portion of a fenced in yard to use for entry and exit. There’s a good chance you will see my husband and I working in the garden behind you depending upon what time of year you’re visiting us. You may also see our border collie dog named Desi running around in the backyard. Don’t worry, he’s friendly with all people and dogs, and does not have access to your portion of the yard or property. He just wants to say hi.

There is also a very long driveway in front of the garage available for your use. We can fit up to three or four vehicles in that space as well as off street parking.

One of the three bedrooms provides bunkbeds so between them, and the two couches' downstairs, we estimate being able to comfortably sleep up to 8-10 people.

We actually live in the home right next to this house and share an adjoining yard. We can be reached via text, but obviously being in such close proximity are available if you need anything at all during your stay. 

We’ve taken great care to ensure that our home is stocked with all of the essentials you will need during your stay.

In addition to trying to forecast your indoor traveling needs, we’ve also considered ways to help make you more efficient with regard to your vehicle needs when lodging with us. We offer a Level 2 EV charger if needed. Just let us know and we’ll make sure you have access to that garage.

We know that you’ll enjoy staying in this big old beautiful home as much as we did. Thanks for considering the Happy Hippie Homestead!

    This place is the best ever! It is so cozy and comfy. You feel right at home and we look forward to staying here later in the year when we come back to visit. The beds are comfy and the kitchen is amazing! Could maybe use some more utensils for cooking but overall I really don’t have any complaints! The gate is a little tricky late at night for the first time trying to figure it out with your hands full lol but that’s not a reason to not stay! The hosts are awesome and answer very quickly. I would only ask that maybe a cheap pad or notebook be placed somewhere for jotting notes. Having a tv in about every room was really nice. We really loved the stay.

    Michelle went over and above to make the home feel cozy and comfortable. We had an early holiday family gathering and she added touches of Christmas. That was delightful to find this when I went in the home. I loved the eclectic decor of the home as my eyes continued to find interesting and fun things to view. It really added to the coziness of the home. It was perfect for our family gathering. The kitchen was perfect for the food, there were even games for family fun. I can’t say enough about how special this stay was and how it was a dream come true to celebrate here with my family. We will be looking forward to another stay.

    This was such a home to stay at. Michelle's husband met us with a bunch of flowers to welcome us on Friday night. We spent a good time relaxing on the patio. The house had everything we needed for the weekend. Thank you again!

    We were in town for my daughter’s wedding in Lomax,IL. Location was great. Just minutes from places to grab snacks and access highway to IL. The home is gorgeous! Very clean and the beds were comfortable. I will definitely be staying there again when I come up for an extended stay at my daughters.

    Happy hippie homestead was the comfort of home that we needed for this particular visit to Burlington. Michelle was wonderful with her communication, very quick responses and accommodating to our needs and timelines. We would definitely stay here again when returning to Burlington.
