Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
Countryside Private Guest Room is a private-room stay in a quiet, semi-rural area near New Athens/Freeburg, created for guests in late 2021 (formerly the hosts’ computer room). It is set up to give guests space and privacy, with a locked door separating the guest area from the hosts’ main living area. Guests can park at the door and enter via keyless entry from a private side deck.
Guest Room & Outdoor Space
The room is described as quaint and includes a full bed plus a sit-in shower. A coffee maker, TV, and Wi‑Fi are provided for a simple, self-contained stay. Guests also have access to the side deck/patio and can look out over a large yard without needing to interact unless they want to.
Amenities
Key amenities include air conditioning, kitchen access, and a smoke-free environment. The setup is geared toward a quiet stay, with private outdoor entry and a dedicated guest space. Connectivity and in-room basics (TV, Wi‑Fi, coffee maker) support both short visits and longer stays.
