The space

This log cabin, in studio apartment style, has a private bathroom, television with Roku, microwave, mini-fridge, and top notch amenities with multiple outdoor seating options. This unique and comfortable accommodation sleeps three in the king size bed and a pull out sofa bed. We are located on half an acre with neighbors close by. There are “no trespassing” signs posted on their property and driveway, it is important to respect those signs. There is room on our property to be outside, but the closest places to go for a walk are a short drive away. With a farmer’s field on two sides, the cabins feel secluded, but it is actually a quiet and safe rural neighborhood. This rustic log cabin, complete with working custom stone fireplace, has electricity and central heat and air, but the water pressure is low. It is amazing for a log cabin, but may be less than you are used to.

Guest access

Outdoor amenities are available to all of our guests - gas grill, fire pit past the parking lot, wood deck. It is important to stay on the Cabin's side of the driveway. There is grass to enjoy next to the farmer's field.

During your stay

We enjoy meeting guests, when that works out, and we are on site at some point most days. Please let us know if there is something that you need at frontdesk@westerfieldcabins.com or call 618-539-8408.

The neighborhood

Our little half an acre in rural Freeburg is 10 minutes from town, and has a secluded vibe in spite of the neighbors being close. The Weingarten and Eckert's Country Store, restaurant, Cider Shed and pick your own farm are just down the road. It is a quiet neighborhood.

Getting around

There are two parking places provided with your Cottage rental, one directly in front of the little log cabin we call The Cottage and one more - either next to it or in the parking lot (not a spot clearly marked for the Cabin or Kitchen Flat).

Other things to note

Our little half an acre is in a quiet neighborhood with a farmer's field on two sides. It may feel secluded, but the neighbors are just across the driveway. It is important to stay on the Cabin's side of the driveway and observe our quiet hours between 10 pm and 7 am for the sake of the neighbors and other guests.

peaceful cozy cottage

This cozy cottage is the perfect get away. The rustic log cabin is comfortable and the property is lovely with many outdoor spaces to enjoy. The shower and bathroom is small, but everything worked great and there was plenty of hot water. Thank you to the property owners and caretakers for a lovely stay. We hope to return.

The perfect getaway!

I've stayed in the Westerfield Cottage 8 times in less than 2 years, and I'll keep coming back as often as I can. It's the perfect location to unwind while still being close enough to town for the occasional food/entertainment run. The comfort and hospitality are top-notch, and exactly what keeps me coming back time and time again.
