This place. There aren't enough words to describe the lovely time we had. We arrived fairly late after a long drive and had a message inviting us to join them by the fire outside. A little too sleepy we waiting until the morning to meet Nicky and Eric. The space was incredibly clean and tidy, lots of extra bedding and the space was set at a perfect temperature. There were fresh (literally l, just laid) eggs and berries in the fridge, bottle of wine, chocolate bars and Nicky had even asked of we needed anything else for our kids before we arrived. Our kids loved all the animals and Nicky let them feed the pigs and I *almost* milked a goat.
We met Eric who is a chef and Chicago cop, joined them by the fire with all of their interesting and fun friends, had an ice cream tasting, talked for hours while our kids ran wild in the backyard/farm until they couldn't keep their eyes open. Nicky and Eric are like old friends you haven't met before, their place is an inner city adventure you have never expected or experienced before and won soon forget. Their daughters are sweet, their goats are adorable and the pigs as funny as you'd expect them to be. We can't wait to return to Chicago and stay with Eric and Nicky again. We felt safe, well cared for happy the whole time we were there.
Thank you Nicky and Eric! See you soon!
