Prairieview Cottage Retreat - Hot Tub Sunsets - Sleeps 8

REST, RELAX, RETREAT... Are you longing to get away from the grind and unwind in the quiet countryside? You will enjoy this beautiful, pet-friendly cottage retreat in its peaceful setting where you can watch sunsets from the hot tub, enjoy sitting around the firepit on the patio or simply relax inside. You will be in close proximity to 11,000 acre Lake Shelbyville, the heart of IL Amish country and the Little Theater, the only professional theater between Chicago and St. Louis.

The space
As you enter the front door you will immediately notice the open and inviting floor plan of this cottage, coupled with a modern farmhouse decor. The dining and kitchen area, with its farmhouse table (which expands to seat 12), kitchen island and coffee bar is spacious enough to host a small retreat, cozy enough for a small family dinner and intimate enough for a couple’s getaway. The kitchen features a refrigerator with a drink dispenser and an ice maker, a dishwasher, an oven/range that has convection capabilities, and a microwave. It comes fully stocked with dishes, utensils, glasses, cups, silverware and cookware for all your eating and cooking needs. The coffee bar features a Regular and a Keurig Coffee Maker. Complimentary coffee is provided.

The kitchen opens up into a comfortable living room area where you can relax on the large sofa and dual reclining loveseat and watch a movie or game on the 55” smart TV. There is also a dvd player, movies and an electric fireplace available for your enjoyment.


The large Master Bedroom features a queen size bed, a full size sleeper sofa and a desk area to work away from home or to sit and write or journal in privacy. There are convenient charging ports on both sides of the bed for your electronics. A large armoire is provided for your hanging clothes and holds extra bedding for the sleeper sofas. The second bedroom has 2 extra long twin beds, so even the adults will be comfortable in these beds. These beds can be pushed together to make one large bed if desired.

Bathroom
The full bath features a large walk-in shower with glass double doors, and plenty of plush towels for everyone.

Outdoor Patio Area
You will enjoy sitting outside on the patio around a fire watching the sun go down, listening to the night sounds or relaxing in the hot tub, a guest favorite. Outdoor patio area features a firepit and a table and chairs under a pergola with lights strung on top. A charcoal grill is provided for the avid grillers. So whether you are grilling a steak or enjoying a good old fashioned hamburger, we got you covered. Charcoal and wood are provided. At the end of the day you can relax in the hot tub and watch the moon and stars. You may even hear a horse and buggy go clip-clopping through the quiet night or hear a distant train whistle blow. The hot tub area is complete with a fence that provides a wind break as well as a bit of privacy.

Prairieview Cottage Retreat is located along a main highway but is set far enough back from the road that you will still enjoy privacy and won’t be bothered by traffic noise. You will be surrounded by grain and hay fields, have access to a small pond and at night you can hear the sounds of insects, bull frogs and owls. The owners live on the property, but a row of trees separates the main house from the cottage so you will have your own space to enjoy.
