Amazing!
I’ve used this rental in the past. This time it was just me and my dog. The peace and quiet of rental is amazing. The hosts Kris and matt are wonderful! They made sure we were taken care if we needed anything. They are both super nice and friendly. The sight from the cabin is breathtaking. All around one of my favorite I will continue to book at!

Cozy cabin
This cabin is tiny, but cozy. Everything we needed was there. We stayed here to be close to SIU for our granddaughter’s graduation. The drive to the school was easy. The setting on the lake was very pretty & peaceful. We were pleased to find we could bring our pup. He enjoyed his walks on the quiet road. The hosts are so very friendly & quick to answer all questions.

Wonderful hosts, excellent stay with our 2 dogs
Matt and Kris were promptly responsive and accessible for anything we needed. Cupcakes and a birthday card were thoughtfully left in the cabin for my husband’s birthday, along with a basket of snacks and s’mores supplies. The property is well maintained and had just received a fresh porch staining when we arrived. The grill was easy to use and the shower was TO DIE FOR. It is directly on the lake, but be mindful that the walk back up the hill can be taxing depending on your ability. The peninsula was excellent for having a great time on the lake and letting our lab swim. We’ve never stayed someone more than once, but we’re strongly considering staying here again.

Both my husband and myself enjoyed ourselves . The cabin was very clean and definitely cozy . The hosts were very nice people and glad we got the opportunity to meet them and chat a little bit . I loved all the deer we saw on a daily basis , granted our doggies didn’t know what to think ! The lake is gorgeous and it’s so peaceful and quiet out there. We would definitely stay again .

Romantic Getaway
This property was so great to stay at. My significant other and I were very impressed, we used the fire pit, canoe, outdoor shower, and all amenities provided inside the cabin.
The bugs were bad the first day but that was after it had rained, the next day we stayed out until 10 or 11am doing s’mores and there were barely any bugs at the campfire and the cabin porch.
The owners also provide firewood and fire starter.
The coffee maker/microwave oven stopped working for us but the owners said they will replace it! Also the outdoor shower ran out of gas for hot water at the end of our shower. The owners even offered to have someone stop by to drop off anything else we needed.
The owners also provided marshmallows, chocolate, graham crackers, and roasting sticks to put the marshmallows on. Not including the other snacks and goodies!
It’s a small place, so I personally would only make it a romantic getaway!

A lovely getaway
We had a lovely stay. For a tiny cabin, it's incredibly well appointed and had everything we needed for our stay. Kris was kind and responsive. We appreciated all the little touches - thank you!
One of the cleanest rentals that I have ever experienced. The hosts were informative and eager to help us with anything on our stay. They even helped us to jump one of our cars that was dead. It was relaxing, safe and quiet. We had many things to do on our rental with the toys they provided. I cannot wait to return with my husband!

Unique and perfect
Exactly as described. Such a nice view of the lake and hubby could just go down to the dock and fish. Outdoor shower was fun and the water was really warm. Close to state parks for hiking. Got an idea for a sliding barn door for my house from there. A lovely stay
