East Woods on the IL River

This 25 acre parcel was once owned by a sand mining company.  There are mounds and valleys all along the Illinois River.  We purchased the property in 1987, and cut in the road.   The city of Ottawa recently annexed the property into the Ottawa city limits.  It's like owning our own wild park.

Rainbow Pond, is a shallow back water of the Illinois River.  Lots of wildlife come to drink.  Blue Heron, Ducks, Osprey, Egrets are just a few of the birds we have seen. 

Grass field near the woods and Goose Creek.

Rancho Comienzo

Rancho Del Comienzo is located at the intersection of Somonauk Creek and the Fox River. 150+ years ago, it was a commonly used Native American encampment. Now it is the site of Rancho Del Comienzo Hay and Horses. We ask that if you find an arrowhead that you respect the land and leave it where it lays.

Somonauk Creek is a known spawning ground of musky and other Illinois river fish. There is access to both the Fox River and Somonauk Creek for kayaking, canoeing, fishing and other water-activities!

We have two unique camping sites that are level and allow campfires. We look forward to hosting you!

Escape to Nature

This property is located on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Huntley.  It is only an hour west of Chicago.  

Our ducks, geese, turkeys and chickens will visit you, and you'll see likely see deer, raccoon, opossum, wild turkey, sandhill cranes, falcons, hawks, woodpeckers, coyotes and cardinals, all right from your seat in the backyard.

What to do here: 

Hike all over our six acres of wooded countryside and nearby forest preserves and conservation district parks.

If relaxation is your goal, order breakfast from our menu and skip the cooking.

Downtown Huntley hosts an assortment of festivals, free concerts, and celebrations throughout the year.  The Farmer's Market and antique shops are worth the visit. 

The Illinois Railway Museum, within 10 miles, is the largest railway museum in the United States. Enthusiasts come from all over to ride on steam, diesel, and electric trains.   Kids love Thomas the train and Percy too!

When you're ready for a faster pace, head into Chicago, where the city offers unlimited attractions, museums, and amazing restaurants.

We do not have full electric and water sites available.  Try the Kane County Forest Preserve for this at https://kaneforest.com/location/paul-wolff.
