Comfortable home away from home

We enjoyed our stay at this very quiet and peaceful home. The weather was not cooperative, but we were still able to view different wildlife from the deck and the peacefulness of the water. The bed was comfortable and enjoyed the many different channels provided to us on the TVs. The kitchen was more than adequate. We also appreciated that we did not have to go up or down steps to get our "stuff" in from the car. We will be flagging this home in case we travel to the Lake Egypt area again. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Beautiful place

The cabin was very clean, with an inviting atmosphere both inside and out. My wife and I stayed there while also visiting her mother in Marion, and some friends were able to visit us at the cabin as well, with lots of comfortable seating.

Great family option

Great location near many parks like Garden of the Gods, Giant City, Little Grand Canyon and many others. Enjoyed breakfast on the balcony watching the lake and ending the day paddle boarding or kayaking. Great setup for our group. Two bedrooms upstairs (queen bed in ea) with a nice kitchen and dinning room. Downstairs had a bedroom with a bunk bed along with a family room. Kids had their own kid cave down there :). Very nice time.

This was our second time staying here. Such a great location on the lake, and every detail is thought out to make the cabin feel welcoming. Our kids spend the whole time at the sandy beach or exploring with the kayaks. We love coming here!

About the host

Hosted by Scott Shawmeker

Host profile image
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 and tiki torches down by the water for night time fun.
