Food scene

Farm fresh produce in season includes strawberries, peaches, and apples. Sweet treats made with fresh produce are a great stop along the wine trail, after a visit to Giant City Lodge, or just for a pretty drive to the farm!

All of the wineries on the Shawnee Hills Wine trail are amazing, but message me for my favorites! Many serve domestic beers as well. Many wineries have music on weekends as well as outdoor seating. Please let me know if you need assistance in booking transportation via limo or bus! I will have plenty of wine trail maps in the home, and can help you plan your route!

The Lodge is a Southern Illinois tradition! Family style fried chicken and fixings are some of the best around. Take some time to climb the water tower while here and take in the beautiful views of the Illinois Ozarks. Make sure you spend some time exploring the rest of the park as well!

Recreation

Kinkaid Lake is where I spent all my summers as a kid! Bring your boat or jet-ski for a visit and hang out on our beautiful lake. Bot rentals are available at the Marina as well. Feel free to message me for details. There is room for a bit to be parked in the alley drive of the house.

Sightseeing

A must-do for everyone! The drive, the view, the feeling you get looking at that beautiful cross-it is all worth it time and time again. The Cross is a quick 20 minute drive from the house, and you can stop at Duty’s General Store in Cobden for a sandwich and drink to pack along for a picnic!
