Better than the listing!

This location was so much better than we expected from the listing! The view of the lake was stunning, the house looked like a new Reno, and they even supplied the things you often forget to bring along. We truly loved our stay, and will likely do it again!

Beautiful home, excellent stay

This is the 2nd time my family and I have stayed here. After the first time, we knew we wanted to go back. The home is clean and very spacious and was able to accommodate our large family without feeling like we were in top of each other. We love the swimming area and enjoyed our time in the water and fishing from the dock. Highly recommend!

Everything was a 10. Beautiful. Great location. Only issue for us was the walk way down to the docks. Atleast 3 of us fell. Many holes and broken concrete. We hope to rent again next yead.

Girls Retreat

Thank you for allowing us to stay at your lake house. We had a great time and enjoyed the down time from the hussle and bussle of our normal lives. We hiked, played games, told stories, made all of our meals and had many laughs. Once again, thank you for allowing us to use your home for our girls retreat.

Lake house memories

We stayed for a week to visit family nearby and fell in love with this lake house! Laura was a great host and answered all of our questions. House had everything we needed to entertain the kids. Plenty of things to do in the area outdoors and about half hour away you’re in the city. Rented a pontoon boat that was delivered to dock and took the boys out for ice cream on the lake. Just an amazing time all around.

Had an issue this year with the right boat slip where it previously had a lift. On the right side it had a piece of metal that did significant damage to the boat, scratching and gouging the side. High water at the beginning of the week did not help and probably contributed to the problem.Strongly suggest removing the metal from the side of the dock and block off immediately.

Beautiful home on the inside with amazing view!

Absolutely love the house on the inside and such an amazing kitchen. Very clean on the inside. The only negative would be outside. The deck needs improvement as well as the steps leading down to the water. The dock is absolutely perfect! Easy check-in and easy checkout.

Excellent for living the lake life!

This house was perfect for our family get-away with friends. It was exactly as described, check in was easy & Laura was very quick to respond to all messages - before & during our stay. This house was probably the cleanest rental I've ever stayed in. Plenty of towels, soap, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, dishwasher tablets, etc. The location on the lake (in a little cove) gave us calm waters and a natural limit for the kids to kayak. Like any house, there's a few quirky features but nothing that detracts from the quality.

Family Thanksgiving

The house was very clean. Linens were in great shape! Towels were amazing. We loved the basket of blankets/throws. The small pool table was a huge hit! Everyone played at some point of our visit. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, cookware, etc. We wished the weather had been warmer so we could have used the outdoor space. Lake view was beautiful & relaxing. We would rent again if we are meeting in Southern Illinois. Our group came from NW Indiana, Chicago and Atlanta.
