Farmers Friend on 175 Acre Farm: Peaceful Retreat

RebeccaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

An incredible experience connecting to nature and others! You're really afforded the choice between an intimate private stay or an inspiring communal experience, and both are incredible. My favorite part (aside from the delicious wood-fired pizza) was the farm tour and learning about regenerative agriculture. It's an optional tour that we're so glad we opted into. We had no kiddos with us, but it's probably helpful to note that it's extremely kid friendly! We star-gazed at night and woke up to a beautiful chorus of birds. Overall: 10/10 would recommend!

LizRating, 5 stars1 month ago

The stay was incredible! We loved the yurt! It was so cozy at night and peaceful during the day. Sam was so kind, greeting us with a big smile. We loved getting to tour the farm and meet all the animals! Our favorites were the baby goats :)

Cozy & Quiet Living at the Cookie Cottage

MarchelleRating, 5 stars1 month ago

I needed a quiet place to stay to meditate, pray, study, etc. I also needed a place to meet up with a friend I hadn’t seen in 12 years. The friend was only there a short while with permission, of course, and the rest of the time I kept to my schedule and my main purpose for being there. The cottage was perfect for all the reasons I needed it to be perfect. Amber was very accommodating with my questions and requests. The cottage was like visiting someone’s grandmother without the grandmother being there. The bed was very comfortable. I would definitely stay there again.

The Flats at Elm Place - No. 2

PamRating, 5 stars1 week ago

The best stay in Princeton so far!! So close (didn’t touch our car once parked) to food, drink and, this weekend, live music! Beyond clean and so many “extras”…laundry available, high chair, port-a-crib, board games. An absolutely beautiful (historic 😊👍) location!!! Way beyond our expectations (4 adults plus a 15 month old)!!! Will definitely book this location again!!!

Farmers Friend - Family Escape + Animal Encounters

IsabelRating, 5 stars1 month ago

This is the best weekend getaway near Chicago! You get to support a great nonprofit regenerative agriculture farm while having a relaxing weekend in a beautiful place. Book now! We arrived on a Friday evening and were greeted by our friendly hosts who showed us around our Airbnb. Then, we prepared ourselves dinner in the large kitchen and ate it at a spacious dining table. On Saturday morning, we got to snuggle baby goats for 2 hours. A baby goat fell asleep in my lap! Then, on Saturday evening we got a tour of the regenerative agriculture farm from the executive director of Hungry World Farm. The tour was informative and thoughtful. We also got to watch many baby lambs frolic. Finally, we made a fire in one of the fire pits and made s'mores on Saturday night. We left on Sunday refreshed and grateful to have had the opportunity to spend time in this beautiful place. We're planning to come back next spring to meet the next generation of baby goats, lambs, and calves.

Cottage in Mineral

The Canal Cottage, pet friendly

AnnaRating, 5 stars6 days ago

Beautiful inside and out. It was incredibly clean and stocked with the little things. The cottage was secluded and yet walkable to drop our canoe. We fished and biked too! Great little shed with a lock. The screened in porch makes the whole place brighter and a perfect view of the full moon that night! Would love to know more about the history of the building. We ate carry out from The Wagon Wheel. The food and staff were fantastic! There was a full kitchen and charcoal grill at the cottage but we were too excited to get outside 🤣 Our red heeler also enjoyed the trip! We would love to rent it again!
