Vacation rentals in Elmwood

This worked perfectly for our trip!

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Big Oak. Marnie and Brian were waiting for us in their Gator when we arrived and greeted us like old friends. As a mom of a leash reactive pittie mix, I reached out to Marnie and Brian before we booked to confirm that there would in fact be no other dogs around and if there was, they would be leashed. They were both very understanding, honest and responsive when I made these inquiries. The Cabin itself is so stocked its insane. Anything you think you might need, they provide it. Olive oil, salt, heater, dog towels, tampons, toaster oven, home made cookies, coffee. They just really want you to feel at home and you DO. They also have it stocked with chilling out activities... things like games, music, DVDs, a full bird-feeder to watch birds, a scavenger hunt. The land is really well taken care of and beautiful. We enjoyed hiking the trails and taking in the sights. Our dogs had the time of their lives. We cannot wait to go back.. We already booked!

My entire team is really happy to have stayed at this house. It’s very clean and cozy. Around the house, you’ll find everything you need. Lori is a great host—she helps with everything and is very helpful.

Great location ! Located between Chicago and St. Louis so about a 3 hour drive to get peace and quiet. Cabin appears to be newly built and the place is SPOTLESS !! 10 minute drive to Walmart or Kroger or if you prefer get some local good eats !! Also plenty of Firewood for us city slickers :)... Has a smoker and a Blackstone griddle that are really good. Only thing if one prefers , bring a charcoal grill if allowed ..?? Place was awesome !! Thank you Jennifer and siblings. 5 STARS !! We'll be going back !!

We had such a wonderful stay at Cara's cottage. The location was incredibly relaxing and exceeded our expectations. Cara was an outstanding host, always quick to respond, and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. We look forward to staying at Cara's cottage the next time we visit.

This was an excellent cabin with an excellent host! Spotless clean. Great location and amenities. Will be using it again. A+ rating

Brent’s place is amazing. He and his wife leave extremely thoughtful amenities and they have wonderful recommendations on places to go and places to eat. His place is EXTREMELY clean, has comfortable beds, and is quiet. We loved it!

Thank you for having us! I stayed here with my bridesmaids the night before my wedding at the Cannery. Many of described the house as a real life dollhouse with so many fun characteristics and nooks and crannies! The closeness to Cannery was unbeatable! Thank you for a beautiful space to stay in before I tied the knot!!!!
