Stokes Family Reunion
This was a great location for our family to come in and visit us. It was easy to get between Ana in Carbondale which is the two locations we wanted to visit. The views were fabulous and we just had a great time!

Family Reunion Vacation
It was perfect for our size family of varying ages. The benefit of having 2 houses was that for people who might want quiet time away from the large family group could slip away to the cabin while the main action was at the house. The houses were clean, although some of the furniture was showing wear. The steps on the deck to the main house leading to the front need some maintenance, one of them was almost rotted through which could be dangerous, but other than that it was great having the covered deck with the table to have meals. If it hadn't been so hot we would have spent even more time out there. The views were very pretty. We saw several deer in the fields. The host was very accommodating also - he replaced a shower head just as we were checking in to ensure we had a nice shower in the guest cabin for our visit.

About the host

Hosted by Steve Young

Host profile image
I grew up in Southern Illinois, and could not wait to 'Get Out,' 'Escape,' and go to the big city. I went to school in Chicago at the Illinois Institute of Technology, and left Southern Illinois far behind. I thought this was great.

I had a very successful career in the online advertising, marketing, and market research world catering to big pharma. In a normal year I would fly 125,000 miles and see many places, countries and sites.

As I grew older and my 'success' continued I felt more and more that something was missing. I began to yearn for the hills of Southern Illinois, the slower pace of life, and the people I left behind more and more.

I 2013, I came home for a few weeks to help my mother move my father into a nursing home. After this was completed I flew to Milan for business, and on my way back I received a call that my mother had had a stroke. This was a life changing event for me, and I never really went home.

My father spent the year getting worse, and my Mother spent the year getting better. When my father died in December of 2013, I decided to 'officially' move to Southern Illinois in order to spend more time with my mother and be closer with family. I also made the decision to leave the company I worked for and do something simpler, and local to Southern Illinois.

June 1st, 2014 I started my company with the goal to create vacation rental homes in Southern Illinois and help the area grow tourism. Southern Illinois is a beautiful and special place, and I would like to share it with as many people as possible.

Steve Young purchased this cabin in 2014

Why they chose this property

This property was an old Bed and Breakfast, and the view was spectacular. The property was foreclosed on and a friend that I went to high school with had purchased it and remodeled the main house. Once I purchased it I started refurbishing the guesthouse. Now that it is completed I think it is one of the nicest properties on the wine trail.

The property will sleep a maximum of 16 people, or can be rented to separate parties in the main house and guesthouse.

What makes this property unique

The proximity to wineries, and area attractions is also great for this property.
