The Shawnee National Forest surrounds us, accessible only by wandering roads, passing over creeks and alongside wineries. The trip is worth the beautiful drive, eventually arriving at "The Villa". Our home looks like an Italian villa, appropriately placed between two wineries in the middle of the Shawnee Forest. It is actually a straw-bale home with supplemental solar energy. Originally built as a Holistic Healing Center, we have converted it into a comfortable home with great vibes. We have converted an old grain bin into a "GrainZebo" just outside our home as a fun place to hang out with friends and family. We hope you enjoy the same relaxed feel we get while living out here in the woods, when you come visit. We will be happy to help you feel at home out here. We love sharing the Shawnee experience.

Hidden Gem, Amazing Host
What a fun location! Jon was the best of hosts, gracious, informative and friendly. This is a hidden gem nestled between two wineries.

What a Gem!
Jon’s piece of heaven for all to enjoy did not disappoint! We had the entire Grainzebo site to ourselves. Surrounded by nature and the peaceful sounds of wildlife, this site was the best Hipcamp site we’ve ever visited! The full sized Bocce ball court added to the experience and we fully appreciated the deluxe outhouse! The star gazing was amazing! Jon showed us around and was ready to offer us anything we needed. The site is on the wine trail and within walking distance of two of them. We have already decided to bring friends to the site next year! What a gem! *We chose this site for its proximity to hiking in the Shawnee National Forest and it was perfect! Thanks Jon!

This is the second time we have stayed at Jon's site. We had an even better time this year! Jon was very attentive to our needs and when we ran out of propane he had us setup with a new tank in 15 minutes! Great weekend!

Spent two nights on this property which was very nice and relaxing. When first approaching, we were greeted by Jon, who is very friendly and took good care of us. Showed us to our campsite, set us up with 5 gallons of fresh ice water and then gave us a tour of the site as well as the included amenities (the bathroom which is very clean and well kept) and answered our questions regarding the Shawnee Wine Trail. 2 walkable wineries from our spot, which was amazing. We will definitely be back when looking to spend time in Pomona, Illinois. Thank you for an unforgettable experience, Jon!
