No complaints. Fantastic place.
This was our second time at this property. It was clean, amenities were plentiful, and we had a great time. I cannot recommend this listing enough. It was perfect for a large group with children. Communication with the hosts is always great as well. All in all, another 10/10 stay.

The property was great. Plenty of room for our 4 kids plus spouses and 3 grands. The arcade game and hot tub were bonus! The outdoor kitchen looked amazing but we didn’t stay long enough to take advantage.

An Incredible Home in the Perfect Location
Ken and Wendy have made their property into the perfect Vrbo. The locale is great- the lake is gorgeous to gaze upon, Decatur is barely a two-hour drive from nearby St. Louis, and the setup of the house is AMAZING for big groups of friends/families. All the bedrooms are upstairs, which is perfect for those who want to sleep in, and all the living and recreation spaces are downstairs, so people can always keep the fun and games going. Additionally, something I cannot understate is how fun the hot tub was- especially since it was right next to the kitchen and dry bar. Amenity-wise- Ken and Wendy have stocked the home with absolutely everything you could possibly need. We found every bathroom item we could possibly need, as well as a stocked first-aid kit and TONS of towels. Wi-fi information is all over the place (which stops your pesky friends from constantly asking about it) and TVs are in every room, making sure that everyone (especially the kids) can stay entertained and relaxed. There's plenty of parking space, and the patio in the back is nothing if not picturesque. Finally- the communication and understanding shown by Ken and Wendy as hosts was nothing short of perfect. They were on top of things with punctuality and empathy. I have never said that a vacation rental was perfect, but I will be breaking that streak here. This home was truly the perfect location for the perfect weekend. I heartily recommend it for anyone looking, and I hope to stay here again.

Celebrated Thanksgiving
Decatur is the half way point for us that live in a southwest suburb of Chicago and our Family from St. Louis… this house was perfect!! Great sized bedrooms, plenty of communal space, and such a beautiful view! Hosts were excellent to communicate with and even had a welcome bag with some goodies waiting for us! We will definitely be back

My 70th Birthday
It was a family reunion and we also rented the pontoon boat. The house was like a maze and games ect was like a treasure hunt for family. The large deck overlooking lake decatur accommodated everyone easily. Loved it!
