Lakefront Home on Lake of Egypt with Dock

Nature’s Way Getaway | Lakefront at Lake of Egypt

Welcome to Nature’s Way Getaway — the “gather here” home of Red Roof Retreats. This spacious three-bedroom, two-bathroom lakefront home is designed for families and groups who want room to reconnect, relax, and truly enjoy time together on Lake of Egypt in Goreville, Illinois.

With a private dock, multiple lake-view decks, a large yard, and comfortable indoor gathering spaces, this is where everyone meets — for coffee at sunrise, boating all afternoon, and stories around the fire at night.

The primary suite features a king bed, beautiful lake views, and a private bathroom with a large soaking tub and separate shower — perfect for unwinding after a full day outdoors. The second bedroom offers a queen bed and its own private lake-view deck. The third bedroom includes a queen bed with a twin trundle, plus access to a small deck with stairs leading toward the firepit area.

There’s also a bonus room facing the lake with a twin daybed and twin trundle underneath — a flexible space that’s perfect for kids, cousins, or extra guests.

The living room is designed for gathering, with comfortable seating and water views. The fully stocked kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, cookware, and everything you need for family meals, holiday-style dinners, or simple breakfasts before heading out on the water.

Outside is where this home really shines. Your private dock gives you direct access to Lake of Egypt — bring your boat or simply fish right from the dock. A canoe, kayaks, paddleboat, and paddleboard are available for guest use, along with fishing poles and life jackets. Spend the day paddling, swimming, or exploring the shoreline.

In the evenings, gather on one of the lake-view decks or around the firepit in the yard. The large outdoor space gives kids room to play and adults room to relax. Nature’s Way truly feels like your own private lake retreat.

This home is pet friendly, includes high-speed WiFi and Smart TVs, central heating and air conditioning, and an in-unit washer and dryer for longer stays.

Traveling with a larger group? Red Roof Retreats includes multiple nearby properties — from lakefront homes to treehouses and tiny cabins — making it easy for extended families and friends to stay close while enjoying their own private space. Ask us about coordinating multiple homes for reunions, celebrations, or group getaways.

Nature’s Way Getaway is located in a peaceful, safe lakeside neighborhood close to marinas, wineries, and scenic drives. Shawnee National Forest and Ferne Clyffe State Park are just a short drive away for hiking, biking, waterfalls, and outdoor adventure.

If you’re looking for a place where everyone can gather, spread out, and make lake memories together — this is it.

View of lake and sky were very nice…large rooms and open ate w many windows; each bedroom has outside access.House does sit at atop a somewhat steep “bluff” property. Descent to boat dock is aided by step but does require effort Quiet starlit evening is enhanced by large fire pit w plenty of fuel already available. On-hand Basic supplies (coffee, oil, condiments) were helpful and appreciated

Just as described

We booked Nature's Getaway for a short family vacation and everything at the house was just as described. We had a great time. The home was tidy and offered plenty of things to do. I especially liked that every room in the house had a view of the lake. We had a great stay.

GREAT HOME IN A SECLUDED COVE

Great lakeside home! Looks small from the outside but inside is a surprisingly large but cozy interior, perfectly appointed for quiet relaxation or family game night fun. Very peaceful, secluded cove below the home with a private boat dock. Great owner/caretaker, always in touch if you need anything during your stay. And here's a huge plus: The beds are comfy. That is a deal breaker for a spoiled business traveler like myself. I slept like a log...Highly recommend this home on the lake!

Great cabin on the lake

We stayed here for a long weekend to celebrate a birthday. The cabin was great. The beds were comfortable and the living room, dining room/kitchen was a good size for 4 adults, a kid, and two dogs. The sun room was fantastic and allowed us to enjoy the view of the lake while sipping our morning coffee. The patio was a nice size too. Because we were celebrating a birthday the hosts provided cupcakes and a card which was so nice and appreciated. The cabin came with other snacks and goodies and fire wood and fire starter for the fire pit and supplies for s’mores. We loved that the cabin was on the lake and that it had its own dock with a canoe and paddle boat which we enjoyed using. The only improvement we could see was that the second set of stairs down to the lake could use a hand rail as we had a small child and elderly people in our group. We had a fantastic stay and would rent this cabin again.

Retreat to Nature

A lovely and comfortable property nestled in the hills of Southern Illinois, this rental offers bird and deer watching from all sides. We hiked and visited a winery and thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas week together.

Spectacular lake getaway even better than pictures

What a delight to stay here! The home is just lovely, appointed with stylish furniture, linens, and decor—pictures truly don’t do it justice! The lake was so much fun, with plenty to do including water toys and fishing, all provided for you! We enjoyed s’mores around the fire pit, and we were an easy drive within several parks for hiking and enjoying the outdoors. Can’t say enough nice things about the hosts, they were prompt to respond and made sure we had everything we needed! We WILL be back. Stay here, you won’t be disappointed!
