CHARMINGLY RENOVATED HISTORIC CHESTNUT COTTAGE is nestled against the magnificent stone wall and grounds of the Lee Mansion. Built in the 1800's as the quaint house keepers cottage of the mansion, it retains much of its original wood work/ built-ins/hardware updated with modern amenities.

Beautiful unique aesthetic and charming outdoor space. Vintage inspired elements and original 1800’s charm combine to make a photo worthy backdrop to your family get together or romantic getaway. Large patio with fire pit, walled backyard, hammock, and garden. Nestled on the original grounds of the Lee Mansion this was the house keepers cottage and shares the beautiful historic rock wall. We’ve done all we can to bring back the charm and add a little of our own. Large farmhouse style table can fit all the family or host a work meeting!

I live in a neighboring town so if you need anything I can help. I also can offer highlights and things to do. I’m a survivalist, bushcrafter, and forest school teacher so if you’d like a foraging/outdoor experience let me know!
Quiet and family based this is a lovely street. We are in walking distance to historic downtown, the Amtrak train station with service into Chicago, the grocery store, dining, shopping, hiking, and a beautiful live theater and library.
