Family-friendly holiday rentals in Southern Precinct

We booked the pool house for our anniversary and it was wonderful. The house, pool, sauna, hot tub, gardens, everything was perfect. The hosts have set an amazing experience with lots of little touches that make it even better, like homemade jam and a selection of herbs. We also explored the region a little and the local restaurants and sights are not to be missed. Thank you for a great experience!

We enjoyed our weekend at Walnut Hill! The grounds are beautiful, and the home has what you need. Garden of the gods is about ten minutes away!

We had a wonderful stay. It’s in a beautiful country setting surrounded by stunning nature. The perfect getaway if you want to get away from all stress. Will definitely book again next time I’m in the area

We loved the peaceful atmosphere lovely clean home and the amenities the hot tub was perfect and fire pit was so nice we would 100% stay again. if your looking for a quiet relaxing place to stay this is it!

We rented this for a ministry that came to speak at event. Husband and am wife stayed here and was extremely happy with their stay. They had wonderful things to say about the owners.

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful weekend celebrating his birthday at Amy’s place! It was so cute and cozy and she made us feel right at home. Everything, including the dock and kayaks were super accessible. It was perfectly clean and welcoming and I would 100% recommend to anyone wanting a classic Midwest getaway!

Our stay at Elizabeth’s place was great. The house was spacious, clean, and had beautiful scenery outside. What really made the stay better was that upon having car trouble and having a hard time being able to get it taken care of due to it being the weekend, Elizabeth was very accommodating and responsive. I strongly recommend this place and Elizabeth to other prospective renters.

Beautiful home, great location and had everything we needed for our stay. We will be back!

A really neat apartment! Clean and comfortable! One of the best we have stayed at, great communication. Would certainly stay here again. Jeff

This was hands down the most favorable experience I’ve had with Airbnb. Not only were the location and amenities perfect, but Amanda is also an amazing host! Super flexible and responsive, very helpful and accommodating, even allowing an extension of my reservation on a moment’s notice. I will definitely be back. Thanks so much, Amanda!

Patty was wonderful, she sent instructions on how to get in ahead of time and called to make sure we were able to find it. The cabin was beautiful and very peaceful. While slower, I did have cell service but it was really nice to disconnect for the weekend. There is a beautiful porch overlooking a pond where we enjoyed our morning coffee. Our toddler loved walking around the property and had plenty of space on the porch to play. I would definitely stay here again and look forward to booking again next year!

My family and I had a wonderful time at the Mansion! Tony and his wife were very attentive to our needs and we were very comfortable during our stay. The mansion and interior decor are fascinating and create a unique and timeless environment; I really felt I had gone back in time many decades; this was such a welcome respite from my life in California. We will certainly always try and book the Mansion for our annual trips to Southern Illinois. I highly recommend the property.

Beautiful location, great for RV camping, simple amenities

This is our the second time our guys have used the Cross Family Farm. I have heard nothing but good from them. Thanks for letting us use your house!!

Very accommodating and helpful. Went above and beyond to make our trip possible.

I decided last minute to see the 2024 eclipse in 100% totality. I drove all the way from Colorado to Marion, IL. All hotels were booked & really expensive. Then I saw Cassie's camping spot. I'm a solo female traveler with a dog & not much of a Camper so I was a little nervous, but this location was so easy to find, and felt very safe. Cassie even provided hotdogs and marshmallows for everyone. This was the perfect location to see the 2024 eclipse in 100% totality. I'll remember this always!

We stayed at Cassi’s for the 2024 eclipse. The location was so peaceful. We brought our 32’ camper and she said “go anywhere in the back” so we set up in view of the pond. There were 8 others guests in tents. They were all so friendly. The kids loved playing with the dogs and kept talking about Aero and Zep all day after left. (I just realized that those dogs are probably named after Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin) Next time there’s an eclipse that cuts across Cassi’s yard you should definitely stay here! Or if you just want a nice place that’s not far from home.

great place!

Loved staying here during the eclipse!!! Wonderful host, enjoyed just chilling and having a great time meeting people from all over!
