Farmstay holiday rentals in Illinois

Beautiful place in the country The space has many extras My pup and I enjoyed the trails all over the property

We loved our stay, it was very cozy on a chilly night. I loved the high ceilings in here, it felt very open and spacious. I’d love to do another’s girls trip here! We especially loved the fireplace and watching old movies on the dvd player.

A historic home that is lovely and well cared-for. It had enough room so each member of our group of 4 could have their own bedroom. A beautiful and relaxing front porch. This place is a good respite from city life, but still a convenient day trip into St Louis if you want to see the sights.

I’ve been coming here since 2018 and it is my absolute favorite getaway from the business of the city. Comfortable furniture and bed, kitchenette is well stocked with supplies, and the rain shower is such a nice treat!! Jilly & KenBob are the friendliest hosts, and at this point feel like extended family. My dogs absolutely love running around the property with all the smells, woods to explore, and the river & lake to swim in. I could go on and on….its never goodbye, it’s see you next time!

Tony and Liz were great hosts! They replied quickly to our messages and check-in was easy. The house was clean and peaceful. The farm is beautiful and very welcoming. If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing farm experience this is a wonderful place!

Mike’s place was great, had everything we needed and then some! Perfect for our family!

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful property nestled on a hill in the middle of nature. The location is peaceful and scenic—perfect for a relaxing getaway. Our dogs absolutely loved the wide open space to run and explore, which made the trip even more special. One of the highlights was the lovely pond on the property, full of fish and a great spot to sit by and enjoy the surroundings. Highly recommend this place for nature lovers and pet owners alike!

The cottage was lovely with much care to all guest needs. The location was very lovely in the forest. We hope to make it to the winery in the future but didn’t have time this trip.

Didn’t have to worry about the accommodations so we could enjoy getting together with family.

Loved our stay ! The baby goats are so cute and Caprae is amazing. We will definitely be back.

They’ve made a fabulous apartment out of part of the pole barn, and it was a great place to stay. Very close to our friends, so perfect location for us. The game room had the most comfortable chairs, and the kids loved the foosball and air hockey tables! The king bed was super comfy, well stocked kitchen. The shower was very small, but plenty of hot water. Well stocked kitchen. Peaceful, quiet surroundings. Overall a great stay!

Beautiful country setting with lots to do on the property for my adult family of 5. The pool table, hot tub, and fire pit were wonderful!! We were just minutes away from dinner and a grocery store. We were just 20 minutes from hiking at the Garden of the Gods. We landed at Kevin's after a 4 day, 3 night back country hike and could not have been more comfortable! It was a wonderful place to relax and recharge.

We enjoyed our stay. Very tranquil and comfortable!

What an awesome place Rebecca and Derek have. It was a blessing to get to stay here. So relaxing and everything I needed. Great hosts and thanks again. 🙏🏼

10/10, one of the standout airbnbs I’ve stayed in. Definitely the most helpful hosts. Emma’s guidebook that was provided upon booking helped us plan our trip. Everything was clean and stocked with what we needed. Braxton and Emma went above and beyond and installed a firepit prior to our arrival after we inquired about one. If you’re going to Shawnee Forest, book this spot!

It has lots of green area for the dogs. It's location in the country is peaceful.

Fantastic place. Extremely clean and well stocked. We will surely book again when we are passing through! Thanks.

Great place to stay. My group and I enjoyed the scenery, and the cleanliness and space of the house. Beautiful place, will definitely be staying here again.

Beth was very communicative before and during our stay. The house was nicely decorated, and furnished clean and exactly as we expected. I appreciated that we were able to leave without starting laundry, dishwashers, etc. The kitchen had a lot of useful utensils and supplies. We didn't do much cooking, but we could have easily prepared most anything we wanted. The beds and furniture was very comfortable. There were plenty of games and activities to do at the house; we did not utilize the community rec areas, but that was only due to our own agenda and time limitations. My only recommendation would be that blackout curtains in the bedrooms would have been greatly appreciated. I was up at 5:30am some mornings because of light pouring into the bedroom on the main floor.

John and Valentino went above and beyond to make sure that we had a great stay! We had extra bags and were permitted to drop them off early at the house before check in which made our traveling much easier. They were very responsive with any questions we had and super friendly. The house itself was gorgeous and there was so much attention to detail. We would 100% stay at John and Valentino's house again and it was an incredible stay!

The host was very nice. The home was nice and comfortable, it was very clean. Also, had a nice yard. Would definitely recommend!

We had a great time at Ollie's place! It was super comfortable and cozy, just the right size for our family of four. We even lucked out and got to tag along on a tour of the farm and Ollie gifted us a dozen farm fresh eggs! Thank you for making our weekend lovely.

Diane’s place was wonderful, cozy, and peaceful with a charming farm vibe. It made for a perfect weekend escape. Really enjoyed spending time with the goats, other farm animals, and a friendly orange cat. The cottage was clean, spacious, and inviting. Highly recommend :)

The home was perfect location for our family. The home felt like we were at ‘home’. We are a game playing family and the board games, outdoor games were great. My husband loved the ping pong table that allowed him to continue his reign as ‘King’ in the family. 😊 We loved the homemade goodies and the well stocked kitchen and farm fresh eggs were delicious! The description was accurate to the listing. Tim communicated locating with us and was quick to respond. I loved the knowing the history of the home, farm & family that lived there. I sure hope Hoot is still there when we return for another stay.
