Photos and Description of the Petersburg vacation house rental

“Chautauqua Escape” is a charming cottage located in the eclectic river community of Chautauqua, near Petersburg, IL. 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, home of Edgar Lee Masters (Spoon River Anthology). Nearby are wineries and antiques 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.
