With pets

This little cabin is super cute! It has all the needed amenities. I loved having a flushing toilet and the solar powered lights in the cabin were great. I also appreciated that there was a power outlet near the bathroom to charge necessary items. The flowers were beautiful!!

Peaceful, Beautiful, Relaxing!

This was our second time staying at Black Sheep Flower Farm. It is so peaceful and beautiful. We hiked at Dickson Mounds across the street and didn't even realize quite how close it was! Unfortunately we ended up leaving due to a walnut tree dropping walnuts on the cabin all night, but I told Dennis about this and he let Dennis know and he offered a partial refund and said he'd be taking care of that branch over the cabin. I will definitely be going back!

My new favorite place to recharge

This was the most delightful little place to spend a few days to unwind. The view is gorgeous, the cabin is cute as can be, the nearby nature access is to die for, and the bird watching is just *chef's kiss*. I came during an unexpected heat wave so I didn't get to do many of the things I had planned, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself anyway. I spent my time soaking up the birds and the views in the provided hammock. I will say you should remember to bring lanterns, bug spray, a portable battery fan, and firewood for the pit. The cabin has mosquito net lining the walls so you won't battle many bugs at night but you will hear squirrels tossing acorns on the tin roof - don't be alarmed the first few times, you get used to it. The hummingbird feeder provides endless entertainment as they flitter and fight over rights to the territory. Dennis and Ben are incredibly kind and sweet hosts and their little dog Ruby should be declared a national treasure. Bring some art supplies even if you aren't artsy because you will be inspired to sketch and paint when you spend time here. Highly recommend going to Emiquon Wildlife Reserve for sunrise when the birds are most active. The South Ponds are a 2min drive on the same road as the farm, they also offer the most beautiful sunset views I've ever seen with a lookout point and easy parking. At sunrise I saw dozens of pelicans, lots of egrets, and a few herons, sandpipers, killdeer, terns, cranes, and one chill coyote hunting across the field!

Mixed feelings

Our chocolate lab loved this place. She was in heaven. But we did have a little trouble sleeping because squirrels dropped nuts on the cabin's tin roof throughout the night. The restrooms were clean and nice. It's a great place for pets, but the price is a little high for what is located there.

Just amazing- Second stay here and it was just as beautiful as the first. We stayed in the cabin this time around vs tent camping. Everything was clean and comfortable. Lots of extra touches like binoculars, books on nature, fresh flowers to add to the welcoming atmosphere. I really cannot say enough on how memorable, camling, and peaceful this place is and always look forward to coming back. Thank you, Dennis!
