"Fabulous fall getaway from Chicago."
"We had perfect hiking weather in November, and ridiculously beautiful fall colors.  Clear skies allowed for amazing stargazing and a lot of great views of Comet Holmes!  Thank you for your incredible hospitality."

"Super place to stay while hunting in Illinois this season (2012).  Enjoyed your Stablehouse in every way. Be seeing both of you real soon."

 

"Thank you so much for making our stay at The Stablehouse so comfortable.  It had everything you advertised on your website and more.  Even though we were 600 miles from home, we had the luxury of home.  You have a beautiful place and we will make it our home away from home next year.  I know hunters can be complicated at times but we really appreciated the use of the barn and all the facilities.  Thanks again and can’t wait to come next year."

"The Stablehouse was nothing short of wonderful, we just wish we could have stayed longer!  We made great use of the grill and terrific kitchen set up and loved the furry visitors of the farm!

The surrounding area is absolutely beautiful and the homey atmosphere of The Stablehouse was just perfect.  Thanks so much for all the thoughtful amenities - we had everything we needed and more.  We're all so bummed to return to the city.  This was such a nice taste of the simple life."
