- "Very cute house with more room then you would expect. Great location as easy to walk to most things that you want to do. Would stay here again." - "Very nice place to stay. We'd do it again!" - "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."

- "Stay was perfect" - "Exactly as expected. Hosts went above and beyond. Private yet right in the middle of everything. Definitely will go back!" - "It was very relaxing" - "The "Private deck" faces the main thoroughfare in Grafton and is in clear view of a massive tourist parking lot. The "Hot Tub" is a dangerous inflatable kiddie pool that malfunctions constantly and nearly electrocuted me. The listing doesn't mention this, but this property is clearly a marketing tool for their weed business and every surface is covered in weed propaganda. They're selling CBD/THC products within the unit which I'm honestly not sure is technically legal in such an unregulated manner even in Illinois. They should probably at least be very clear about restricting occupancy to 21+ w/NO children who might find and eat their weed gummies thinking it's candy."
