Baymont by Wyndham Galesburg

10/10 Excellent

"Good"

Beautiful, timber frame, lake house with an amazing view!

10/10 Excellent

"We had a FANTASTIC 4-night stay with friends at this lovely, cabin-cozy lake house. Very large, bright, and tons of room for everyone. The kitchen had ample counter space and a big ol pantry for dry food storage, a Traeger and Blackstone outside to cook on, ice maker, multiple refrigerators, dishwasher, utensils, and cooking equipment. The only thing I couldn't find was a can opener which was fine because I didn't actually want those tomatoes anyway. The dining table seats one thousand people so you can invite the whole town of Avon over for supper and still have room to spare. All three showers had the essentials, and towels, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, all the things we needed during our stay and for clean-up were available. The house was super clean upon arrival; no weird smells or creepy mystery stains were uncovered. So many choices for hang out spots, we moved around throughout our stay to take advantage of the different areas. You can park a boatload of cars in the driveway and a carload of boats at the dock, but we didn't have a lake member with us... or a boat... so we took full advantage of the lake with our floaty tubes every day. Doug was super-duper responsive and helpful with any questions leading up to our stay. Overall, big fan and would 11/10 return to this property."

"House is fantastic on a beautiful property. The kids enjoyed being able to explore the property, everything was well set up for us and the house was well stocked. The host was very accommodating and excellent communication."

8/10 Good

"Stayed here for our kiddo’s graduation from Knox College. A beautiful wonderful property with so much history. We enjoyed seeing all the family history. My mother-in-law and I were reminded of visiting our family farms when we were younger. Only thing we didn’t like was the septic system is very old and you can’t flush toilet paper. Other than that it was a beautiful property and a cozy home."
