Victorian home brought back to life on the Shawnee Hills wine trail.

A timeless getaway in the heart of Shawnee National Forest and Shawnee Wine Trail.
Enjoy all that southern Illinois has to offer with hiking and biking trails nearby and lakes for kayaking and fishing.
This five bedroom Victorian, built in 1887, has been restored to its original beauty with modern comforts and amenities.
Our guests will enjoy lounging on the screened-in porch overlooking the deck and garden. Our hot tub is perfect for a dip on hot days or cool evenings, tempurature can go as low as 80 and high as 104! The breakfast nook is a perfect place to meet and plan your day's adventures.
You don't need to go far to find great restaurants and wineries or stay in and cook with our well stocked kitchen. Cobden is a quaint town with an antique store, history museum, with a little shop, 3 great places for food. a mile down the road is one of my favorite wineries and restaurant, at Owl Creek you can get a hearty meal with fabulous wine or wine ciders, and music on the weekends. Come and enjoy!

More Than We Could Ask For
We were lucky enough to be able to book this beautiful restored home on the weekend of the eclipse. It's spacious—each of us had our own room—and quaint. Everywhere you turned, the details take you back to the turn of last century. We might have liked to have a stove, but the microwave and hot plate are sufficient. Plus there's an outdoor grill (Warning: we set off the fire alarm while grilling; be sure the house is closed up if you BBQ!). Plenty of small wineries and hiking in the region, and a hot tub to relax after a long day exploring. Recommend.

This property is incredible
This place exceeded our expectations. It had more than enough room for our group of 8 to sleep comfortably. The location was fantastic for our purposes. The home itself is exceptionally well maintained and has so much character. We were not able to take full advantage of the outdoor spaces, but expect to do so in the future. It's worth noting the lack of a traditional stove/oven, but we did not find it limiting for our needs. We'll be staying here again. If you visit, be sure to visit the Iron Whisk...

We all absolutely loved this VRBO Property. The decor was amazing. The only oops on my part was that I did not realize there would not be an oven with stove top. The listing said "Oven", that meant a countertop Air Fryer/Oven. We were creative and was able to fix one dinner and one breakfast. The only other comment I have is two of the bedrooms really could use new mattresses. Thanks, Laura, for all your assistance in making this an unforgettable friends trip.

Adorable house
This house was everything we needed for a weekend get away! Only thing I would maybe change is the fact the listing didn’t say anything about there not being a traditional oven/stove. There is a countertop ninja toaster oven/air fryer and some other counter top kitchen tools. It was not a major inconvenience for us. We loved the screened in porch area. The weather didn’t cooperate for a fire pit but the yard was lovely. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay. Be sure to hit up the iron whisk for breakfast/brunch.

House was awesome
The house has cute themed rooms, a hot tub and a beautiful butterfly garden, the winner for us though was the screened in porch! Overall it was a good experience for a bachelorette party weekend!
