About this house rental

Located in Iowa, this attractive house for $350 per night is a great option for your next break. This large timberframe home is an ideal country getaway in a private peaceful location (surrounded by 120 acres of woods, valley, grass, and farm ground). Enjoy beautiful views from the spacious kitchen, large living areas, deck, or screened-in porch. Spend time outdoors with walking trails, large playground, basketball hoop, large grass areas for sports, and hills for sledding. Located: 20 minutes from Monmouth, IL; 25 minutes from Galesburg, IL; and 35 minutes from Macomb, IL. You will have the entire house to yourself. This timberframe home is 4,500 sq ft and was built on the top of a hill overlooking a valley and woods. It was built with reclaimed barn beams from one of my great Grandpa's barns and insulated concrete walls surrounding most of the house. The home has a whole house audio system with speakers in different locations on the upper level and main level. You can connect your own mp3 player or phone to play music in several rooms or use our CD player to play CDs from a large classical music collection. The main level has 1800 sq ft of living space. The master bedroom is located on this level and has a king size bed, walk-in closet, and master bathroom with a shower and a whirlpool tub. There is also a small bedroom with 2 toddler beds and a large pack 'n play that can be used as a crib. Besides the bedrooms, there is also a large modern kitchen, mudroom, laundry room, 1/2 bathroom, and large living/dining area with wood burning fireplace and vaulted ceiling that is 30 ft to the peak of the roof. From the open living/dining area, you can walk out to a screened-in porch that overlooks the valley. This entire main level is accessible from the garage with no steps required. On the upper level, there is 900 sq ft of living space. There is a bathroom with a shower. Next to the bathroom are two different bedrooms. Both bedrooms are enclosed with a door and walls, but two of the walls do not go completely to the vaulted ceiling. Please see pictures. One bedroom has a queen size bed, desk and dresser. The other bedroom has a queen size bed, chair, and dresser. There is also a loft reading area with a large selection of books and another open room on the east side of the house with a table and older TV with a dvd player. The lower level is a partially finished 1800 sq ft walk-out basement with a large bedroom with 4 twin beds, walk-in closet, bathroom with tub/shower, large play room with toys and mini basketball hoops, and large room with couches, TV, music keyboard, and games/puzzles. The storage room is locked and not available for use. From the walk-out basement, you can access a concrete patio which is underneath the screened-in porch. There is an outdoor fire pit near the patio. Our property has a variety of things to do outside: deck with Traeger wood pellet grill, screened-in porch, outdoor fire pit, trails through the woods, large playground equipment, large grass areas to play soccer/kickball/football/baseball, large concrete area with basketball hoop, and hills for sledding. It is quite common to see wildlife on our property, including deer or turkey. The house and property are very peaceful and quiet due to its remote location. It is between 15 - 30 miles to Monmouth, Galesburg, or Macomb. Please note that the property is located on a county maintained gravel road. We also have an outdoor security camera to monitor the front door area.

Overall, a nice property. It provided the soace we needed to celebrate Christmas with our family. The large kitchen and great room were a huge plus. The downside was that sound travels VERY easily through out the home.

If you like quiet, peaceful and comfortable, you will like your stay. Great place for conversation, reflection, and sharing stories. The home is remote but, our GPS took us right to it, and that remoteness is part of the charm and beauty of the experience. We are golfers so finding two very nice AFFORDABLE courses nearby, one in Monmouth and one in Galesburg, was a bonus. The home is so well designed and beautiful. I am a home designer and construction mgr by trade and was impressed. I could go on and on about the unique and energy efficient construction, but not now. God willing, we all want to try and get together there again. Big Thank You to Jen and Jeff for being so accommodating.

We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again! Our biggest complaint was the slowest brewing coffee pot ever and the upstairs bedroom walls not going up to the ceiling allowing additional noise to travel in from the rest of the house.

This was our 4th time staying here, and it never disappoints. It is always very clean, and there were several great updates. The house is perfect for families. There is plenty to do both in and outside the house. Highly recommend!
