The Sanco House at Chillinois

Jen was incredibly kind and accommodating. We had a death in the family and needed to rearrange our dates and she was so understanding and made it easy for us to adjust our stay. The home was exactly as pictured: clean, cozy, and fully stocked with everything we needed.We especially loved the coffee bar. It had everything from hot to cold brew options. The house was very family-friendly, with toys and games for our 4 and 8 year old grandsons. My daughter brought her two dogs, and the home was wonderfully pet-friendly. There were water bowls and even dog toys available.The outdoor space was just as amazing. The back yard had a fire pit with plenty of chairs and a neatly stacked supply of firewood, which we enjoyed a couple of nights. The backyard was beautifully maintained, with a peaceful walkway down to the river. There were tubes available for floating, lounge chairs on artificial turf, and a perfect setup for fishing. We caught several catfish right off the bank.Mornings on the covered deck were especially peaceful. We often saw deer while enjoying our coffee. Jen thought of everything. There was bug spray located in several spots, and even river towels ready to use. She also left clear instructions for everything, making our stay even more relaxing and stress-free.We truly had a great experience and will definitely be back.

I could go on forever about this property, but I'll only highlight a handful of things that stuck out to us. There was excellent communication from the start, with prompt responses and also helpful information during our entire stay. The awesome coffee bar was a huge hit for everyone! You can tell the owners put pride in what they do. There were cute handmade decorations and special touches that made it feel like home! This place exceeded our expectations and we can't wait to come back next year!!

Great location on the river, beautiful property will all the amenities. Activities for all ages. The house was so nicely decorated.

The owners went above and beyond to make sure our stay was amazing. We had a terrible storm and lost power but we were top priority. Definitely recommend this property. It’s beautiful!

Such a great place to stay! It was very clean and had everything you needed in the kitchen which was nice. The back patio was such a great space to hang out and all the furtnutue and beds were comfortable. Location was perfect for our group of friends. We will definitely be booking here again next summer!
