- Smooth plank floors. Wide halls and doorways.
- Open living room, dining area, and kitchen.
Bedrooms

- One room has articulating beds to help with comfort and transfers.
- A TV in every bedroom.
Bathroom
- One ADA bathroom with a roll-in shower.

- Two other bathrooms in the house as well.
If you need to confirm a wheelchair size, lift, or shower chair before you book, call (815) 557-4886. We would rather answer that on the phone than have you guess.
The rest of the cottage
- About 1,800 square feet.
- Large sectional sofa and a 65-inch TV in the living room.
- Kitchen with dishwasher, stove, microwave, coffee maker, Keurig, Instant Pot, Crock-Pot, and filtered water.
