If you never been here its rural and rather dark at night. Have a game plan or make sure you have GPS on your phone. Other than that, no complaints. Nice quiet area.

The house was fine. Water had distinctive smell to it. The house was clean. While we were there, we received about 8 inches of snow. It would have been helpful to have the snow removed or a shovel. We had to use a broom to clear a path.

I grew up here, so none of it was really new to me. We did make sure to stop at our food places while we were there; Plum Garden, Portillos, Happy Jacks for the Ice cream, and Lou Malnati’s for the best Chicago style pizza.
