Hot Tub Getaway in Southern Illinois — Peaceful Country Escape
Soak in your own hot tub while the sun sets over the pond. Peaceful Country Escape is a 1,700 sq ft home on five quiet acres near Thompsonville with four bedrooms, a sunroom, a screened-in deck, and a fire pit — made for couples who need a quiet weekend, families who want to slow down, and anyone ready to unplug.
Why families choose this home
A whole home to yourselves on five quiet acres
No shared walls and no neighbors close enough to hear. About 1,700 square feet of single-level living, with the pond out front and room to breathe.
Sleeps 12 across four bedrooms
Four bedrooms, two pullout couches, and two full bathrooms. Everyone gets a real bed, and nobody has to draw straws for the couch.
A stocked pond a few steps from the door
Bass, catfish, and bluegill are waiting just steps from the door. Kids catch their first fish here, and grown-ups find a quiet morning with a line in the water.
Private hot tub, fire pit & screened deck
When the sun goes down, the best part of the day begins — soaking under the stars, s'mores around the fire, and long talks on the screened deck with no bugs to swat.
