I rented this beautiful lake house for my daughter’s bachelorette party. It was absolutely perfect as her dream bachelorette consisted of hiking and enjoying nature. The paddle boat made for a lovely morning memory with her sister even with a slight sprinkle of rain. The evening kayaking was awesome! The house itself was under sold, it is more beautiful than the pictures do justice. Coffee on the deck overlooking the lake and beautiful scenery was a great way to start the day. Close to so many great hiking trails and of course the southern Illinois wineries, you won’t be bored! We will definitely be back!

Where to start here. We really loved this place for quite a few reasons. First of all the property was kept up very well with every amenity we could think of needing available. The location is perfect, not too far from Macks, Pyramid Acres, and Cross Eyed bear and right on the shoreline in a bay. The dock was enormous with plenty of kayaks, a canoe, and paddle boat which was great for the entire family. We saw more nature in two days there then I typically see in a given week or two in town. Loved the firepit seating area, the porches, the clean air and clean house interior, and plenty of grilling equipment to boot (including a blackstone). Gerald was extremely responsive and accommodating as well explaining options and ideas to us. Will be back multiple times!

We had a great and relaxing stay! We loved our time there. Plenty of amenities. Fishing and hanging out the dock was great. We would definitely visit in the future.
