Home away from home
Beautiful, clean home with lots of bedrooms & bathrooms. Comfortable beds. The back patio faces the lake. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. And of course a fire pit and a gas grill. Scott was so kind and responsive to any questions we may have had.

This was an awesome place to stay. We have 6 guys who grew up together and we get together once a year for a "guys" trip and this ranked as one of our best thus far!

Family trip
Scott was very helpful and quick to answer questions. The spiral staircase makes it a little hard to get to bedrooms but that is in description so we were prepared for that. Fridge and cabinets were pretty dirty when we got there but the counters and everything else was clean. The dock was really nice for our three fishing boats and a great area for the kids to swim.

Amazing Gem in Southern IL
I selfishly almost still on a writer review on how great this place is. The lake is amazing. The boat was wonderful that we rented from the property owner. Everything was clean inside the house and organized. It was really great for us with a few small kids. We had an entire family reunion there. Cannot more highly recommend and Scott was a very friendly Host.

Guys friend trip
Scott was great to work with. Very quick to respond and helpful with all questions. House was very clean and everything we needed was provided. Beds were comfortable and most everything was maintained well. Outside was maintained, grill worked great, fishing off dock was nice. Few little things that can be bit better. Shower heads are low, some of us are taller and that made it hard. Kuerig didn’t work. Overall would definitely stay there again.

It was okay.
The house could use a good cleaning especially the kitchen. The stove is awfully dirty. Master bath shower doesn’t drain properly.Second floor shared bath faucet leaks. Bathroom tub is leaking. I think it should state not for Seniors. The risers were very high. Higher then most. STRANGE LAYOUT

Great house!
5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms were great. We highly recommend this house for adults and older children. Younger kids would struggle with the spiral staircase. Had a fantastic time on the pontoon boat! The Pool table was a huge hit. Scott was wonderful to work with; super accommodating for everything!

Perfect weekend away!
The house is a little odd. The kitchen is in the basement with a spiral staircase. And all the bedrooms are on the upper level. It is clearly stated in the description that this is the case. The location was perfect. Quiet cove close to the ski area. Nice large deck with swimming deck! It was clean and beds were comfy! We would definitely book again!
