Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Illinois River

We had a relaxing time staying at this wonderful place for two nights. The house has plenty of space, was well-stocked and was quite peaceful. We particularly enjoyed having coffee and breakfast on the back deck, where it seems you’re the only people in the world. The basketball court, swings and lovely sitting area by the pond were also a huge bonus in this space. There were multiple MASSIVE catfish and cute little fishies to feed and watch, which made it that much more special. Thanks for a great wonderful getaway!

This house was fantastic! The backyard was a huge hit with my family – perfect for hanging out and enjoying the outdoors. Inside, there were tons of games, which kept everyone entertained. Plus, the location was super convenient, with an awesome brewery and plenty of stores just down the road. Highly recommend for a fun and relaxing getaway! Andy and Marie were super helpful and responsive. They even worked with me on flexibility with check out as much as they could. I will definitely consider staying at one of their properties again if I’m ever in the area.

2nd year staying here for my birthday with all my friends and it’s so much fun every time. So much to do while having your own privacy and plans with comfortable rules to abide by. It’s like a new home with a bunch of cool games and amenities, definitely recommend! Great host, leaves you to it and is responsive. Best birthdays ever here.

Great location in Ottawa, short drives to Buffalo Rock and Starved Rock state parks. The themed rooms were so much fun for our whole family!

This was peaceful get away. Loved watching the birds, sitting on the front porch, grilling, playing games and chillin around the fire pit at night. The beds and pillows were very comfy. Everyone upstairs controlled their own heat/air so we got to regulate our own bedroom temperatures. The Farmhouse makes you feel like you are visiting family. Comfort away from home. The kitchen was well stocked so we cooked several meals instead of eating out. There were several nice hometown eateries near and did not take long to get to when we chose to go out to eat. Loved our stay at the Farmhouse. Highly recommend for a peaceful getaway.

The house was beautifully decorated. There was plenty of space inside and in the backyard for the kids to hang out and play. They loved the “kids area”, tree house, and all the activities/sports equipment that was there for them.

I enjoyed staying at Brandon’s place. This is my second time staying at this cozy home while visiting family in Decatur. He has everything one would need to cook a large meal. The entire space is very comfortable. Thanks for providing a place for me to stay while visiting in Decatur.

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.

An incredible experience connecting to nature and others! You're really afforded the choice between an intimate private stay or an inspiring communal experience, and both are incredible. My favorite part (aside from the delicious wood-fired pizza) was the farm tour and learning about regenerative agriculture. It's an optional tour that we're so glad we opted into. We had no kiddos with us, but it's probably helpful to note that it's extremely kid friendly! We star-gazed at night and woke up to a beautiful chorus of birds. Overall: 10/10 would recommend!

It was the perfect cozy & relaxing getaway. We enjoyed the jacuzzi. We relaxed around the fire pit. It was peaceful sitting in the porch in the morning, love the hanging chair.

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

My husband and I were just looking for a staycation spot not far from home when we came across “Wilson’s Place” I was absolutely shocked, the pictures do no justice. The place is stunning, clean and very private! I look forward to staying again soon! The kitchen and bathroom are amazing. The design of this apartment is like no other. Truly a one of a kind experience!

We really loved Dawns cozy place along the river. Fairly priced little haven with some comforts of home. Thanks again Dawn and will see you again : )

Amazing place! So much bigger than we anticipated and really great value. The host had recommendations for places to go and local restaurants. Very nice and responsive.

Don't miss this historic location in Grafton. It is close to everything you want to do in Grafton, clean, comfortable and quiet. We look forward to returning!

Perfect space and a lot of accommodations not expected. Clean and comfy! Joseph is very quick to respond and helpful

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your beautiful little cabin! Everything was immaculate, charming, and comfortable! The kitchen and bathroom were very well stocked. The area around the home was so pretty and peaceful. And, the candlelight to come home to in the evening was a special touch! Highly recommend this home! Brittany was a very gracious host!!

Another great trip. This time I shared my secluded space with my daughter. Books, sunshine and Marg made for complete relaxation. 😊

Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise. You had everything there we needed! We felt at home with a better view!

Our stay at the Grafton Getaway was perfect! It was the perfect place for a peaceful girls trip get away. Brandon reached out before our stay to tell me about the different events in town and was extremely responsive when I had questions.

Morchella Hideaway is a true sanctuary, offering the perfect escape from the demands of daily life. Surrounded by nature's beauty, I found myself immersed in its peaceful sights and sounds. Adding to the atmosphere was the wildlife. Deer wandered gracefully, raccoons snuffled, owls called in the night, and even the distant echoes of coyotes could be heard. The gentle murmur of the river added to the serenity, creating a soothing backdrop for reflection and rest. I even saw my first firefly of the season! This hideaway is ideal for disconnecting from the outside world and simply embracing the moment. Chris is an exceptional host who is attentive, patient, and always quick to provide thoughtful responses. His hospitality enhances the experience, making every visitor feel truly welcomed. For anyone seeking a space to relax, heal, and recharge, I wholeheartedly recommend Morchella Hideaway.

My stay here was lovely. The house was well kept and the location was beautiful and tranquil. There were even recommendations inside the cabin about restaurants and activities nearby.

Beautiful place on the edge of town and edge of woods. There is a train track near that they disclose in the listing, but i barely noticed it and i dont live anywhere near train tracks so its not like i am used to tuning them out. The place is very small, but it was perfect for what i needed in my little vacation get away. It was very peaceful and quiet. The hosts were very kind and made sure we had everything needed.
