1912 Vintage Barn Experience

I had a lovely three night stay on Aissa and Hank’s property! When we arrived, they were there to welcome us and give us a tour and let us know about our camping options. We were the only campers staying that weekend so they were happy to let us pick our spot and got a fire pit moved for us so we could stay local to our spot for the most part. Their barn and land is gorgeous, and they were equipped with helpful items for campers far beyond what we expected when booking our stay. Aissa and Hank themselves were both very kind and welcoming and made us feel very safe and comfortable. They were around if we needed anything but did not make us feel hovered over and did not interrupt our privacy whatsoever. We had a very sweet and slow weekend, exactly what we were looking for and needed! We would definitely come back and enjoy another weekend here.

Everything was perfect! Aissa and Hank are outstanding, gracious hosts. Starting with a golf cart tour of their property really helps to decide where you want to set up and ask questions. After choosing a convenient spot, both Aissa and Hank are helpful with anything you may need. Bathroom was spotless, very well taken care of property all around. I hope to return to enjoy the friendly atmosphere and peaceful natural surroundings. The barn looks like a great venue for a party or celebration, with plenty of space to park and play in the beautiful backyard. What a terrific find! Thank you so much for your hospitality!

So I booked this stay for my partner who needed a place to spend the weekend near work. So this is second hand information but here’s what he told me: the place is actually quite small and near railroad tracks, so it was pretty noisy for camping. He did not love the nearby town of Decatur, but then again he’s from the west coast so it’s all a bit different and a matter of perspective. I’m sure it’s lovely as a rustic wedding venue and perhaps if you have a trailer to reduce the noise.

I stopped here in my Tacoma, which has an Alu-Cab camper. I rolled in late and easily found a spot to park and camp. I was asleep in minutes. It was perfect!

We loved the country setting, the 1912 barn. It was perfect for our overnite stay. The hosts were extremely accommodating as we arrived late due to road closure on I-44 in Missouri that lasted for hours.

Alissa former public school educator administrator and Hank former hot air balloon pilot were outstanding hosts. We shared experiences and I and my dog were made to feel very welcome. The barn was hosting a wedding and hosts made sure campers and wedding folks were happy and assured there event would as they dreamed would happen. I highly recommend tent camping here

The setting was lovely! I was there in early April, and the grass was beautiful, and the trees were in bloom. The 1912 barn is rustic and fabulous! The hosts were super accommodating, and invited me to take shelter in the barn while I was camping there.

What a great spot for camping! We had a great time exploring the paths, enjoying a campfire, and seeing so many stars. I would recommend this spot to anyone passing through, or anyone who might be looking to book multiple spots for a get together. It's great!

1912 Barn - Loft Bedroom

We recently stayed at this charming barn and it was absolutely perfect for my needs. The rustic yet stylish design made for stunning photoshoots—the natural lighting and the beautiful surrounding scenery added an extra touch of magic to every shot. Although the bedding and seatings were not well-appointed for an ideal night stay, the hosts were incredibly accommodating, ensuring everything was in place for a comfortable experience. Whether you're looking for a unique photoshoot location or a peaceful retreat, this barn and their camper is a hidden gem. Highly recommend!

Alissa and Hank are kind and generous hosts who offer a quiet rural camping experience. The facilities are as advertised and of a high quality. . My wife and I camped there for 2 nights while we explored President Lincoln's legacy in Springfield. I would strongly recommend the site.

What a romantic, serene place the 1912 Barn is! Aissa and Hank are generous and kind, which makes this site top notch. Surrounded by corn and soybeans, the grounds are well maintained and offer plenty of space to spread out and explore. The pictures can’t quite capture all the beauty of this place. Our reactive dog was calm and enjoyed the visit. Our personal Starlink had the best service we’ve seen so far. We will definitely be back if we are in the area again.

Great stay

Tent · With pets ·

We scheduled this stay last minute on a road trip. It was nice to be able to book a spot without waiting hours for approval. The property was so nice, we had a shaded spot to park and camp. There was some wood in the fire ring, and they left out some marshmallows and roasting sticks and dog treats which was a nice touch. Also great, was that there is a bathroom and shower which we weren’t expecting, but was a nice surprise! They’re also located 4 miles from Lincoln’s first Illinois home, which was made into a park. We rode our bikes down the quiet, field lined back roads and checked out the park. Great stay, would stop again if we ever happen to be driving through the area again.
