River's Edge - Quad Cities
My family stayed at River’s Edge and River’s Edge ll for a family function in the area. Our only disappointment was that we weren’t making the trip to just stay at the properties themselves for a beautiful, peaceful get-away. Everything was wonderful, beautiful decor all throughout the homes and the spacious decks. Updated and well appointed kitchens and bathrooms the most comfortable beds. We will definitely be back to simply enjoy!

Platypus Hills, Lake, Heated Pool, Hot tub,Firepit
We absolutely loved staying here! The hosts live on site, but separately from the airbnb, and they definitely gave us privacy! We were able to communicate with them quickly about how to use the heated pool and customize the hot tub to our preferred settings :) We utilized the fire pit and made s’more’s with a kit they provided, which was awesome!! Clean-up was just place your trash in the breezeway and clean your dishes - nothing excessive. Overall 10/10 visit and definitely recommend!!

Lakefront House, Pontoon, Deck, Fire Pit & More!
Leah was a phenomenal host, very responsive and fast with her replies to my questions. The place was super comfortable and welcoming. It was peaceful and quiet just as advertised. Had a wonderful stay!

Peaceful Wooded Lake Cottage Retreat
Beautiful home, perfect for my family and I. We loved the bonfire pit, and everything was comfortable. We were able to cook 2 full dinners and enjoy family time comfortably in the house. We loved it here, and would love to come back!

Luxury Lake House: Stay French Lake
This house was perfect for our girls’ weekend. Plenty of comfortable spaces to hang out both inside and outside. Comfy beds. Overall very peaceful, which is exactly what we needed!

Millpoint Cove a Serene Waterfront cottage
We were in town for a few days for some high school baseball games and to visit ISU and Bradley. Even though we were gone most of the day, it was SO nice coming back to Annabelle's in the evenings to unwind and relax. It's a beautiful cottage on the water that was clean, roomy, and full of amenities. Annabelle was friendly and accommodating even though nothing went wrong and everything in the cottage was better than described. The area was quiet and the view was INCREDIBLE. Even saw a bald and golden eagle outside in the early morning hours (and found binoculars too).

Lake It or Leave It
Our stay was absolutely amazing. Photos do not do this place justice its absolutely beautiful. Additionally, this was a fully stocked kitchen trashbags, paper towels and coffee it was so nice not having to run to the store immediately. The layout is awesome and the lake view is gorgeous. Will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend.

Swans Nest
I found out I was going to have a weekend off after 4 months. I decided I needed to get away to sometime more peaceful. We had been to the area in the past to visit the Inidana State Sanatorium and my son wanted to go for another visit. I stumbled upon Andrea's place, and it was pet friendly. My first time bringing my pooches. Her property is beautiful and everything I was looking for. The home is spacious and clean. I loved the outside sitting areas. Good place to listen to nature, the small river and have a cup of coffee in the morning, or have a relaxing drink in the evening. There are a few paddle boats on the property. So much fun! And a swimming hole on the other side. Andrea is a lovely host, so friendly and happy to know you're enjoying yourself and the space she provides. I would definitely recommend her property and would love to visit again when I need some time away

We had a great stay. It had all the basic items we needed for an overnight. We would definitely stay again.

Beach Daze. Walk a few feet to the ⛱beach.
What an awesome stay! Karen was an excellent host, giving us local recommendations, leaving lots of snacks/wine, and always quick to message me back! Her place was so cozy and in such a beautiful location, with the beach being just a few steps away. She had great amenities including AC, a smart TV, and a very functional kitchen. We would recommend this airbnb to anybody looking for a beachside getaway!

This is a genuinely special property and lovely place to stay. I’m already looking forward to future bookings when I travel to Geneseo to visit family.

French château -literally 150 steps from BEACH
It was an absolute BEAUTY of a stay. My husband and I literally booked it last minute. (1 hours before leaving) and the host immediately responded and was so friendly and kind. It’s about a two minute walk from the beach. Very quiet, the house has a lot to culture. I felt right at home, truly. Thank you Matthew !!

The Crow's Nest
Wonderful location outside of Terre Haute. Roomy place for 5 people. We all enjoyed fishing in the lovely pond and playing pool in the large living area. The deck was enjoyable with the fire pit and a grill. We will definitely try to return next year.

River Retreat- Studio C
This studio space was a very nice getaway, and is just about an hour away from busy city life. It is situated along a beautiful river where we enjoyed a campfire and were able to walk our dog. The unit was enough space for two people to stay comfortably. There is a grocery store, restaurants and a few bars close by. Dawn was an amazing host and very accommodating!

The Milk House at Lucky Star Farm
Talk about last minute booking and an amazing host❤️❤️❤️. Our stay was more than we ever hoped for. Milk House is a very unique Airbnb. We loved our stay and all the extras. We have stayed in many vacation rentals and this was by far the most hospitality. Love the fresh eggs, coffee and the farm animals. The location was prefect. We biked during the day and return to a nice quiet/relaxing place. Thank you for creating a beautiful place to sure with the world❤️ Brian and Janis

We stayed for the Thanksgiving weekend and had a great time and even got some snow. The house is cozy and has a great view. We saw lots of wildlife from the warmth of the cabin. Would love to visit again in the warmer weather and enjoy the water sports. Everything was clean and the house was well stocked with everything you might need for a weekend in the woods.
