Grandpa’s Country Home

Our farmhouse, built in 1854, is a peaceful getaway from busy urban life. You will be surrounded by cornfields, trees and barns, and you will hear the songbirds and the crickets, and you will see the sunrise and feel the breeze. There is plenty of room indoors within the 2700 square foot house and outdoors on the 5-acre lawn. We're 30 minutes from Champaign, 45 minutes from Bloomington and 60 minutes from the Amish community of Arthur. It's a great place for Fighting Illini fans! The space Downstairs, there is one furnished bedroom with one double bed, one bathroom, a full kitchen, living room, game room and workspace. Upstairs there are two furnished bedrooms with queen beds and there is one bathroom. There is a wrap-around porch with furniture and a large yard with a cornhole game . The property is surrounded by farmland and we are near the small country town of Foosland. We have very reliable sky link internet. Guest access The entire house is accessible. Other things to note It is a creaky, cranky old farmhouse, once owned by Julie's grandparents. It was run down when we bought it in 2014, and Julie has spent countless hours repairing and beautifying the home. The banister is a bit wobbly, and you might occasionally hear a mouse running through the attic. The water pressure can be low, especially if more than one person is showering at the same time, and it can take some time for the warm water to arrive. And the upstairs can be warmer than the downstairs in the summer. We're constantly improving it, but it is what it is.
