The cottage was bigger than I expected from the photos but just as beautiful. Having two full bathrooms was great. The kitchen is large and updated, and the beds were all comfortable. The cottage is quiet and peaceful, and the hot tub with outdoor lights is a great place to relax.

The property was fantastic! The place was super clean and amenities were top notch! We were “home” for Thanksgiving and the space was great for our stay and we had plenty of space for family to come visit us! One of my favorite VRBOs! The coffee bar was also an unexpected surprise!

This is our second time staying here and I was so happy we returned! Can’t get enough of the quiet, and coziness of this home. Communication is always easy with the owner, the sweet dog Chase is always a plus to run into, and everything is very clean and easy to use. This has become my favorite place to watch the sunset. If the sky is clear the stars are incredible to watch as well in the dark. Can’t recommend it enough!

Reasonably priced! The house was very clean. We had plenty of towels & wash cloths. It was great for our girls trip, so we could all stay together in one place. Having a kitchen and everything we needed to make some of our meals was awesome!

The kitchen was fully stocked, the beds were super comfortable, and the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind at the end of the day.

They were friendly, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay.If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable, and relaxing getaway with great hosts and an incredible hot tub, this is the place to book.

Our family had an amazing experience staying at the Prairie View Cottage, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable getaway.The cottage itself was clean, and the family thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub and peaceful property. One of the highlights of our stay was Rose's flexibility and kindness in accommodating our last-minute request to extend our visit. We truly appreciated her willingness to work with us, which allowed us to savor an extra day together in such a wonderful setting.Overall, this VRBO exceeded our family’s expectations, and we are grateful for Rose's hospitality. Highly recommend!

Great country location
We spent a few days in Central Illinois to visit family and enjoy Lake Shelbyville. This property was fantastic. Nice and spacious. We loved the country setting. It was very peaceful. The owners are on property but we never saw them - just a vehicle passing by on the drive. The place had everything we needed to cook meals and keep house so I never needed to reach out. Even the teens and the dogs were happy! If you are looking for local attractions - we enjoyed Lake Shelbyville (especially paddle boarding at Lithia Springs marina), Little Theater on the Square in Sullivan (Hairspray was amazing!), and Okaw Valley Orchard (peach slushes, turnovers and apple cider donuts!). We will definitely come back here if we do a trip like this again. Thank you for a great family vacation!

Family Vacation on the Lake
Wonderful home within close distance to Sullivan marina. Great setup for a family vacation. Plenty of parking for our cars and boat trailer. We enjoyed our time together. My kid’s loved the hot tub and daily visits from the puppy. We will definitely book again next year!
