Summary: Rush Creek Farm is a beautiful home and property. My spouse and I spent 3 nights there with our dog. We had a great time with our small group, but the house can easily accommodate many more people comfortably. The house was immaculately clean and furnished with everything we could possibly need. The kitchen was a joy to cook in, and the outdoor grill (Weber Genesis) was excellent. The beds and furnishings were extremely comfortable. The fireplace and deck were perfect for the early spring weather. We watched a gorgeous sunrise each day from the living room and primary bedroom. There are lovely views from every window - even the powder room and laundry room!There are so many ways to entertain yourselves while there; we enjoyed bags, shuffleboard, and hiking the miles of trails on the property, but we barely scratched the surface of things to do there. The location is excellent, close to Apple River Canyon State Park, Mississippi Palisades, Galena, wineries, and much more. We can't wait to come again, hopefully with a larger group next time.

Summary: My husband and I chose to stay at this property with our dog over a long weekend, and we were absolutely thrilled. The home itself is stunning, with so many fine details and accents- real wood fireplace (with a massive pile of stocked wood right outside the door), multiple jacuzzi tubs, a fully stocked pantry, firepit with pizza oven(??), hammocks, the list goes on and on. The place also comes ready with so many activities and entertainment- shuffleboard, board games, jigsaw puzzles, TV games, (even a bop it!). It was the perfect home away from home, a place to fully disconnect and just appreciate the moment and company. All of this- amongst 50 private acres in Illinois's most beautiful hillside. The grand windows throughout ensure you're always looking out at the gorgeous views. The walking trails that cut through the property are nice easy walks, and the way the stars light up the night sky is truly awe-inspiring.The property manager was also more than kind and accommodating of us when we had trouble with our car when leaving. They were extremely quick to respond and very thoughtful throughout.This is hands-down the best experience I've had with any rental property, I promise you can't go wrong choosing this place!!

Summary: Beautiful home with the most gorgeous view! We spent a lot of time on the trails and fishing in the pond. The open floor plan made it easy to enjoy using the chefs kitchen while still feeling connected to the rest of the family watching the football game. It was really quiet and peaceful, and we couldn't recommend this place more. The

Summary: We had a really fun stay at the Farm. The drive up and the lot it’s on are absolutely beautiful and well maintained. The house seems relatively new and is well appointed. Everything was clean and spacious, and we really appreciated all the toys/games/activities for the kiddos. The only things we’d mention are that while there were many cooking accoutrements, we couldn’t find any aluminum foil/plastic wrap/ziploc, which would have been useful. We also couldn’t find the propane tank or the pizza peel which rendered the grill and pizza oven unusable to us, even though we planned several meals around them. We also would have loved to have use of kid life vests for the pond, or a note that we should bring our own. Otherwise, we'll definitely stay again! Thanks so much for having us.

Summary: Stayed at this house for a quick family getaway. Very peaceful, quiet and pretty location, with great views of the rolling terrain from the large windows and the large walk-out deck. This is a beautiful house that is very well appointed with games and activities, and is about a 30 minute drive to Galena. Would definitely recommend/stay here again.

Summary: We would like to keep this place a secret as it was one of our best VRBO experiences. The home is beautiful, spacious, well equipped and overlooking a quiet/peaceful setting. Sarah (owner) was pleasant and prompt in responding to our questions. We'd stay here again and will recommend to family and friends.

Summary: Our family really enjoyed our stay. There is a perfect mix of things to do (hiking, fishing, playing games) and time to just relax. The view is amazing! Galena is just 20 minutes down the road. Will definitely stay again!

Summary: We spent a long weekend at this glorious property with 2 other couples. The house is impeccably decorated, warm and inviting, with plenty of room to spread out. We stayed in and cooked all of our meals out of the exceptionally well-stocked and thoroughly labeled kitchen. Made good use out of the beautiful fireplace and comfortable furniture, all placed to make the most of the space and views. The property grounds are extremely inviting; we were blessed enough to have warm weather in February and were able to take advantage of the trails, fire pit and balcony overlooking the hills of Elizabeth. We’ve rented many houses over the years, this was by far my favorite and we will be back!
