Farmstay vacation rentals in Union County

This was our 3rd year in a row staying at Samson Mountain. We caught some fish saw deer ever morning outside our door. it is a great place to stay.

We loved our stay, it was very cozy on a chilly night. I loved the high ceilings in here, it felt very open and spacious. I’d love to do another’s girls trip here! We especially loved the fireplace and watching old movies on the dvd player.

This place serves very well as a home base for hikers visiting the Shawnee National Forest

Great place to stay with a family or group! Loved the little touches of board games, books and fun art. Clean and relaxing, great outdoor setup for cookouts:)

This was our second visit to the lodge with our extended family for Easter. It is perfect for a family gathering. Lots of bedrooms with multiple beds and plenty of bathrooms as well as a saloon and living room for everyone to gather in. The deer came right up to the lodge on many occasions. Everyone enjoyed fishing and kayaking. Very quiet and peaceful place to enjoy campfires and s’mores.

Stayed here a few times now. Love the space and the surroundings. Good spot to get to various preserves and trails. Will stay again as I love the farm fresh eggs too!

We had a wonderful stay on the farm and wish we could have stayed longer! Everything here was absolutely perfect. Marte is the kindest and most thoughtful host who will make you feel right at home. She even left us some snacks which were much appreciated. The property is so beautiful and brings a sense of peace. We got a great night of sleep and felt very comfortable and welcome here. We will definitely return next time we find ourselves in the area!

Such a wonderful experience from start to finish! Leah’s home is absolutely beautiful with the ultimate charm. She gave us the warmest welcome and showed us around, but it wasn’t until we settled into our room that I noticed the all of the finishing touches that made this stay so memorable…the beds were SO comfortable, the smell in the house is intoxicating, the bathroom floors are heated (which she didn’t mention but I noticed immediately as my feet hit the floor), and all the extra amenities that no one knew they wanted (but I promise you do) ♥️ I could go on and on. She definitely takes the B&B experience to the next level. Breakfast was amazing! I’ve already told 3 people about this place so it’s safe to say, I’ll definitely be back!

Great place to stay listening to coon hounds in the wind ... Very much a country life very peaceful she is a wonderful person... Highly recommend

We had a great stay! We brought our two dogs with us and the Stablehouse is big enough that we weren't cramped. My son loved that there were tinker toys, coloring books/markers and DVDs available (and he loved going to see the chickens). The lanterns were a welcome amenity with the dogs being early birds. Beautiful in the Fall, private location but still close to our areas of interest. We were gone for most of daylight but enjoyed coming back to the house to wind down. Easy access to Cobden (Iron Whisk breakfast!), Giant City, Little Grand Canyon, Pomona, with Bald Knob and multiple wineries just down the road.

This property is located in the country on a beautiful estate. If you are looking for a relaxing and peaceful stay, where you can see the stars at night and watch a stunning sunset…this is the place. I can’t say enough about Dru, she is a wonderful host and cooks some amazing home cooked meals. We were there for a retreat with friends and to celebrate birthdays, she did a great job making our stay memorable. She can arrange horseback riding or relaxing massages if that’s what you are looking for. This property is located about a two hour drive south of St. Louis; however it’s an easy drive mostly highway. I am already looking forward to my next visit! Thanks Dru, for being an amazing host.

Property was as described and worked well for our needs being in area for Tunnel Hill 100 race based out of Vienna, IL. Nice surprise of fresh fruit and some pastry provided on our arrival. We did some cooking and everything we needed was available in terms of cookware and even some cooking oil and salt which we had forgotten. Nice secluded location and privacy.

We loved how the history of the house stayed with it. We loved the fact you left memories of the owner. When we pulled in we thought the house was going to be so tiny and that it wasn't going to work. once we walked in we were totally shocked. There was tons of room, upstairs and downstairs. It was so peaceful and homey.

Another great stay on the property. We love the location and proximity to everything. Also, the property is accomodating for our fishing boat. Tom-tom (the cat) was a fantastic little amenity at the cabin. He greeted us upon our return and joined us for our morning coffee. Give him all the love!

Kevin’s Airbnb is absolutely amazing. Especially if you’re looking to have a get away and take a break from society and just take in the beautiful scenery of the open fields and nature. I would absolutely recommend Kevin as a host and will possibly be going back for summer time!

The house is great - very clean, comfortable and everything you need - and we appreciated that we could bring our dog. We were a little surprised by the location, which is just off a main road and not as picturesque as the description suggests.
