Rural Home Notes
Like many country homes, we use well water and a small septic system. The well water is 3rd‑party tested and safe for bathing and washing, though it may occasionally have a slight sulfur smell. Bottled water is provided for drinking. Because of the septic system and the size of the home, we cannot host large gatherings or parties.

You may also see a few Asian lady beetles or box elder bugs during certain seasons. They’re harmless, and while we have regular pest control, country homes naturally get a few visitors.

House Rules
To keep our home comfortable for everyone, we don’t allow pets, parties, events, or large gatherings. Vrbo also has a strict no‑party policy, and we appreciate your help in maintaining a peaceful, family‑friendly space.

For your safety, please enjoy the yard and outdoor areas but avoid entering the barns, sheds or outbuildings, as they’re part of the working farm.

Book Your Stay
Escape the noise, breathe in the fresh country air, and enjoy the timeless charm of Illinois farm life.
Reserve your stay at Grandma Moo’s Farmhouse and experience simple, cozy rural living.

Stayed here for our kiddo’s graduation from Knox College. A beautiful wonderful property with so much history. We enjoyed seeing all the family history. My mother-in-law and I were reminded of visiting our family farms when we were younger. Only thing we didn’t like was the septic system is very old and you can’t flush toilet paper. Other than that it was a beautiful property and a cozy home.
