Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Scott Shawmeker
Mary Ann and I retired a few years ago and are now more about enjoying our life and especially our 5 grandbabies.
Why they chose this property
This property has been in my family since 1901. Before there was a lake it was my great Grandfathers farm. The surrounding property and across the lake were a part of the 85 acre property. In 1963-ish, as the lake was being created the farm was parceled out were each of the Adams children received a lot (hence Adams Acres) and the property beneath the lake and across was sold. The cabin is located on my Uncle Denny's lot that briefly was owned outside of the family. We were able to purchase it and build the cabin in exactly the same spot and footprint of his original cabin.
What makes this property unique
The cabin at Adams Acres offers close proximity to the local highways (Interstates 24 & 57 and Illinois routes 37 & 148) are a few minutes away. The home is newer (built in 2016) with the express purpose of being a short stay cabin for people visiting Southern Illinois...including my family. We did our best to insure the place includes the creature comforts of a home with the solitude and privacy of a lakeside cabin. There is a dock, private beach (shared with our home next door), kayaks and peddle boat for recreation. There is also a fire pit down by the water for night time fun.
