Wedding Attendees
3 CA Family members joined the two of us from IL. We attended a June 15 family wedding at a nearby Woodstock Golf resort. The little home is charming and cozy and was perfect size for us to be comfortable. If there would be one thing I would suggest be added : Perhaps a couple of full length mirrors on the back of the bedroom doors so we ladies could have used those as we dressed for the wedding. Not earthshaking but I think it would be a nice addition. Thanks to the host owners for our enjoyable stay.

Hemingway’s Hideaway in Woodstock
Fantastic little retreat for our family of four. Within walking distance of Metra and the heart of Woodstock. The upstairs sunny office is great to get focused work done while the family sleeps, and enjoy an old movie with your clan on the big TV, in the comfy couches. Great little spaces to read outside - and be sure to enjoy the morning drama with the squirrels on the rail fence and exquisite old oak out the front door.

We had an easy time renting this place, communicating with Collin and Carrie, and the place is really cool. It’s accurately described and shown on the website. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen clean and nice amenities. The place feels like a 2nd home / vacation home. The lights outside were a nice touch, as well. The location was wonderful, too.

Great location for a weekend visit!
This was a great little place for us- came home for my reunion, and this was just perfect. It’s a cozy space, but was clean and well kept. You cannot beat the location if you’re hanging out in Woodstock! Loved that we could walk to the Square, and owners were great communicators, providing great recommendations for local businesses. If you’re staying the weekend, make sure you get to the Saturday market in the square for local goods! Would definitely come back for this spot when coming home!

Cute historic home, walk to the square that has great shopping and places to eat. Two blocks to the Double Yolk for breakfast and the Public House for dinner...both are amazing. Home is cozy , clean and the beds were very nice and comfortable. The outside has a nice sitting area and fire pit, the weather didnt cooperate to use but it was nice. The home had everything we needed to enjoy our stay! Highly recommend.
