When I lived in Southern Illinois we used to visit a friend that had a home on the lake every Tuesday. She had a neighbor with a fabulous home across from hers. Recently my mom found that they now rent the guest home on that property out by the day/week. Pretty smart idea, they have all the ammenadies, pool, lake, game room, paddle boat, etc. It gave me an idea....
My parents are without a guest home.
But....
They do have a detached garage. Enjoy the listing.....
Stay in a lovely detached garage, on the property of one of South Nixon Streets finest homes. Lower level sleeps four, storage loft sleeps one. Linens provided for up to 3 beds, bring your own pillows and beds. Lower level houses personal gym [dad's workout bench], woodshop [band saw, table saw and drill press], crafting center [an area to paint stuff] and theater[old t.v. seating is the workout bench]. Within walking distance to Hucks gas station, a thift store that thinks it's Neiman Marcus, park, community pool and several burned down buildings.
Start up a new friendship with the desperate, lonely woman over the fence, go get a refreshing fountain drinks from the Hucks, shop the overpriced crap-thiftmart, walk to the park or watch people pump gas.
So much to do at the Detached Garage on South Nixon Street!
I dunno, should I have ended it with "Because who really vacations in Southern Illinois anyways?"

You had me at: Bring your own pillows. And beds.
ReplyDeleteI hear South Nixon Street is lovely this time of year...
It should be noted - KEL IS NOT THE DESPERATE, OVER-THE-FENCE WOMAN.
ReplyDeleteEven KEL is not THAT desperate.
And any vacationer worth her salt would get thehellouttadodge for a Good Time.
