Here, adventure waits just beyond the porch—hiking and biking trails weave through the trees, quiet lakes shimmer for kayaking and fishing, and a dozen delightful wineries sit within a short, scenic drive. There’s always a new surprise just around the bend.

This five-bedroom Victorian beauty, born in 1887, has been lovingly restored so it feels a bit like stepping back in time—only with all the modern comforts you could hope for. Sip your morning coffee on the screened-in porch as the garden wakes up, or slip into the hot tub, set anywhere between a refreshing 80° to a steamy 104°, perfect for both sun-drenched afternoons and starlit evenings.

Inside, the cheerful breakfast nook invites you to gather, dream, and map out the day’s whims.

If you wander into town, you’ll find Cobden’s charming antique shop, a cozy history museum, and the locally adored Iron Whisk serving breakfast and lunch from Thursday to Sunday. Venture a few miles farther and you’ll reach Owl Creek, one of our favorite spots for delicious meals, fabulous wines and wine ciders, and often live music dancing through the air on weekends.

Prefer to stay in Our well-stocked kitchen has everything you need for a homemade feast (though we should note—no traditional oven; a large toaster oven, crock pot, 2 electric burners, griddle, rice maker, and grill is usually all it takes for a fantastic meal at home.

Whether you’re here to explore, to sip, or simply to exhale, this whimsical Victorian retreat is ready to welcome you. Come, unwind, and let the charm of Southern Illinois do the rest!

    This home is more than just a place to stay! It is beautiful property, inside and out. It is full of interesting art and beautiful stained glass. The home is tidy, cozy, and very clean. The beds are extremely comfortable with extra nice beddings and towels. We could have stayed longer!

    We had a great stay here. The house has a ton of character and feels really well cared for, but still super comfortable. Everything was clean, beds were great, and we loved hanging out on the screened porch. Hot tub and fire pit were a nice bonus.Location is perfect. Close to wineries, trails, and everything in the area without feeling crowded.Host was easy to work with and very responsive. You can tell they put thought into the experience.Have stayed here multiple times and will definitely stay here again.

    Very impressed with this house. The owners have made this house so nice with a great amount of space for our group of 9 adults! There is a nice dining room for board game playing, a nice screened back porch, hot tub, and even a fire pit and chairs. It’s not easy to find a space like this with 5 bedrooms and the nice attention to detail that this house has. It was also very convenient to the winery trail and bourbon bar in the area. Thanks for making this a great weekend stay…I definitely recommend it!

    My friend group and I love this property. We'll continue to stay at it each year as long as the host allows us to do so. The property has an incredible amount of character, easily holds our group of eight and is located in a great spot to reach any area of interest in the region from wineries to parks. I cannot say enough good things about this place. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed.

    We came with our book club and it was the perfect spot! It gave amazing Victorian vibes. The best and softest towels and beds/bedding ever. We enjoyed the hot tub and local winery!

    This place was perfect for our group of 8! Great location for taking in the wine trail and Shawnee. The house has been updated with a definite attention to detail. We'd definitely stay here again and enjoyed the spaciousness of the house and all the amenities. One thing to note: There is not a traditional cooktop or oven. However, there is a grill, a countertop griddle, and a two-burner electric hot plate, which was plenty for us to prepare meals when we stayed in. We were really impressed with how nice the house was and the proximity to so many activities! Definitely recommend this place to any group heading to the wine trail.
