A unique find in a sweet little town! We met neighbors and had so much fun hanging out with the garage door open! Will book again!

We absolutely loved Jakes Garage. Best Airbnb we've ever stayed at. All the fun lights, comfy beds, second bathroom, and the boho feel was delightful! We rented Jakes Garage for the weekend due to coming back to IL for a family event. After the event, we were able to host a dinner for a few family members. Opened the garage door, brought a grill for a cookout, had a foosball tournament, and lots of laughter. Highly recommend Jakes Garage, Bur Oak Grazing, and Eickmans.

I'm so in love with the aesthetics of Jake's Garage! This was such a perfect place to hold a family reunion of 20 people! There was so much counter space for food! There was so much space so everyone could sit together. I highly recommend booking the night or even just an event at Jake's Garage! Such a perfect addition to Pecatonica! I'm already booking my next event!!! Bonus was it's toddler friendly!! 🙂

I recently held a surprise birthday party for my husband at Jake's Garage. It was absolutely the perfect location for this! It was a beautiful night so we were able to have the garage door open with some tables outside. There was plenty of seating for 30+ guests and we could have had even more! So many guests commented on the venue with its cool vibe and uniqueness. There's also plenty of parking across the street. I had the event catered and there is a full kitchen to accommodate this. Also, I had a bartender who used the movable bar next to the refrigerator. (We never got around to using the Foosball table but that's available also!) We ended up not staying the night however I'm sure we would have been quite comfortable in one of the king sized beds. Overall, I give Jake's Garage a five star rating and recommend it to anyone needing a venue for an event or an overnight stay in Pecatonica! (It's a plus to have a nice Italian restaurant right across the street also.)
