Heads up for your weekend outdoor plans! Illinois Youth Fi***rm deer season runs this weekend. If you’re planning to explore or hike nearby trails, please avoid active hunting areas and wear high-visibility blaze orange for safety.

No guest today so Jacqueline and I get to enjoy the pool for a while. 😁

I think Lilly is over this heat!

Everyone else is out in the pasture but Ms Lily is hanging out in her water trough. Yes, when it's hot this one gets water just for her to stand in, lol

September is typically a slower month around here. The kids are back in school and typically the weather is getting cooler so the pool may be getting a little chilly. Well, this September it's still HOT! That's ok though because the pool feels great and we are going to run a HOT deal for September. Book direct with us and we will give you 10% off your booking fees!

Here are the days we have available for September.

2nd and 3rd
7th thru 17th which includes our first weekend open since May.
21st this 24th
27 thru Oct 1st.

As always 3 day minimum when booking Friday or Saturdays.

After September the next open weekend is in late October. 😁
