About this property

Lovely Cozy Country Home Located In the Hills Of Southern Illinois

This scenic ridge top farm house originally constructed in 1870 has been in the same family since the early 1940s and was recently restored/remodeled back to the original 10 foot ceilings and brillant wood floors. A large spacious kitchen, tastefully decorated with a country flair. The bathroom includes a walkin tub and messaging jets. There is a cozy front porch to watch the sunrize, a large back yard patio, hammick, gas grill, a burn ring and picnic table. All perfect for entertaining and watching the sunset. Wineries and hiking trails (Little Grande Cannon and Shawnee National Forest) are only a few miles away and traveled to on scenic country roads.

Nice place for a girls weekend
This was a nice place for all of us, but it was not as clean as I was expecting. The mattress pad on the pull out couch was dirty, the tub had dirt and ants crawling on it, and the floors were dirty as well. Overall though that stuff didn't affect our trip that much, we still had a great time and enjoyed our stay.

We love it here!
The property is clean and quiet, the owner is very communicative, easy to talk to, and responds quickly to any concerns. We have stayed multiple times and will stay again. The price is good for the area and we don’t like hotels.

Perfect for a "Work & Play" Getaway!
A beautifully cared for classic farm house that is a perfect getaway. We took advantage of internet connectivity and great hiking locations for a 'working vacation'. The house has everything you need as well as great outdoor spaces. Highly recommend choosing this home and make it yours for as much time as you need! Owner was fantastic.

About the host

Hosted by Randy Mileur

Host profile image
I was born and raised in Murphysboro, Illinois and grew up on the family farm where the weekend rental home is located. I left the area and lived in Alaska for many years while my parents Mary and Raymond (Snooks) remained on the farm. Over the years I joined the Peace Corps and spent time in Honduras 87 to 89 and Ecuador in 01 and 02 working in agriculture programs. While in Alaska I worked as an Assistant Hunting Guide and in the Environmental Cleanup work for both government and private sector engineering firms. Approximately 8 years ago I moved to the Chicago area and 4 years ago I moved back to Murphysboro to help my Mom. I now spend time in both places.

Why they chose this property

This property was my parents home since the early 40s. A couple of years ago I decided that I wanted to restore and remodel the home. It was partly a labor of love for my parents and I wanted to preserve the home they used to raise me and my 8 other Brothers and Sisters. The home contains many memories and I wanted to share it's peacefulness with others. My Mom and Dad were very welcoming people. Always welcoming visitors, they enjoyed meeting people and hearing about there lives.

What makes this property unique

I love the home for its history, built in 1870 and the memories of my families time here. This was an active farm for nearly 50 years and my Mom lived here for over 70 years. In the summer there is almost always a breeze, there is almost always a deer walking in the distance, a neighbors cow mooing or a coyote howling.
