Vacation Rental Description

Situated in the heart of Abraham Lincoln country, the cottage is only 
2 miles from New Salem State Historical Site where Lincoln tended 
store and surveyed the surrounding area.  3 miles away is historic 
Petersburg, where wineries and antiques are waiting to be 
discovered.  The nationally acclaimed Lincoln Presidential Library 
and Museum are located in Springfield, an easy twenty-minute drive 
through rolling prairies.  While there, visit the only home Lincoln 
ever owned, and pay your respects at his graveside.  

Summer at “Chautauqua Escape” finds an abundance of roadside stands 
selling fresh produce and melons.  Bike along the river or into the 
restored 19th century village with bicycles provided for your 
enjoyment. In the fall, the cottage can be your home base for the 
beautiful Spoon River drive, for enjoying the breathtaking fall 
colors, or when you bag that trophy buck at the Jim Edgar Panther 
Creek Conservation Area, just 15 minutes away.
