Summary: The house was a great size for 2 couples and a small baby. We could have fit another couple in the third room. Very convenient to town walking and driving. Was unable to connect to WiFi and cell service in the town was spotty but all in all would recommend.

Summary: The Lil’ Red House was adorable! So close to everything, if it hadn’t rained all weekend, we could have walked to everything. We absolutely love the front porch, we spent every moment we could out there. Loved that she had coffee and condiments on hand and a washer/dryer. We will be back and highly recommend that you stay there for your next trip to Grafton!!

Summary: My sisters and I love visiting Grafton, IL! The area is so pretty! But found out after staying there for 3 days, that it became very frustrating for us. We had no cell phone service the entire time and were not able to check up on our families back home! The Lil Red Guest House was pleasant and comfortable but a little run down for our tastes! The porch was full of bugs, wasps, and nests of some sort in the corners. The porch railings were not sturdy, and we had to be careful where we were walking and leaning. Other than that, it was a pleasant house to stay in. The kitchen was equipped with what we needed for the most part, and there was a small grocery store nearby to fill the rest of our needs. We also learned that a few of the restaurants and stores in Grafton are not open past the weekend. We arrived there on Sunday afternoon and stayed until Wednesday morning. We did that because we didn't want to deal with the crowds the entire time we were there, but found out our options for eating and shopping became limited after Sunday. We learned some valuable lessons on this trip; the biggest one being Grafton is a nice place to visit, but wouldn't want to stay there for any length of time.

Summary: This is a great getaway for a couple, the family, two families, or a bunch of friends. It’s awesome to sit in the hot tub and look at the stars at night. You can walk to several great eating spots and can also walk to several cute shopping spots. Everything that you would need is provided, towels, sheets, dishes, paper towels, toilet paper… It is clean and adorable and a great getaway!
