Nice stay on the lake

Nice clean home, great location on the lake with outside seating. Hot tub was small but fine. The house was very well kept and lovely. We stayed for a long weekend and had everything we needed.

Lakeside House, Brookport, IL

The description says Lakeside Cabin, but I would call it a small Lakeside House! Everything this near-retired couple could ask for! Being July 4th weekend, 90's and little cloud cover, we didn't use the hot tub or screened-in back porch. It's perfect for a couple or family of 4! But, you are basically cut-off from the outside world, which we needed! Our Verizon signal was very slow, but gave us time to put the phones down and enjoy the company of each other! We fished off the dock, floated/fished off of rafts, grilled every night and just enjoyed ourselves! Looking to rebook Labor Day Weekend!

Beautiful, quiet lake. Nicely decorated, comfort bed and linens. Stairs are too narrow and steep to be used by children or older adults. Bathtub was not cleaned before we arrived. I had to bleach it myself before we could use it. Oven/stove could have been cleaner.

Adorable cabin and location!

My friends and I loved staying here! I swear the pictures don't do it justice - the location is beautiful and the cabin is adorable. We loved the screened in porch, sitting out on the dock, and spending time together unplugged.

Great quiet cabin

We had a fantastic day at this cabin on a lake. It was extremely quiet. The cabin was clean and well appointed and everything functionally worked great. We were hoping there would be kayaks or a paddle boat here that would add to the experience. Wi-Fi and or satellite TV would be a plus

Great weekend getaway!

We spent 2 nights at the Lakeside Cabin and it was wonderful! There is no WIFI which was a plus for us. We swam right off the dock on the peaceful lake. The back patio and deck were shaded in the the afternoon and perfect for enjoying a book. There was a great selection of DVDs and games. The kitchen is fully stocked and we had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable! Very easy check in and the owners responded promptly to my questions. I would go back in a heartbeat!

Peaceful Getaway

The lake was so peaceful and beautiful. The cabin was clean and cozy and just steps away from the lake. The neighbor is close but very friendly and didn’t bother us at all except to share some broken limbs for us to use in the fire pit. The neighborhood dogs are very friendly and we loved having them hang out with us. Because of a previous review mentioning the AT&T service was poor, we brought a Straight Talk phone with us and had no issues using it at the cabin. Wonderful, peaceful, relaxing vacation!

Exactly What We Needed: Peace and Quiet

The cabin had everything we needed and it was very comfortable. Central AC and hot tub made the stay perfect! The dishwasher and washer/dryer were a great bonus and it really felt like home for a few days. The bed was on the softer side, but we slept very well regardless. We could see the stars at night and had fun grilling up a meal. Felt safe enough as a LGBT+/ Interracial couple. The neighbor's dog, Jackson, is a big, VERY friendly, white dog who liked to check in on us when we were outside by the fire. He'll sit by you and watch over you, as if he wants to protect out-of-towners. Adorable and great company. Neighbors were also very kind. Paducah, Kentucky (~20 mins away) is a cute town to visit and the downtown square was safe enough to walk around in. Be sure to bring: food, firewood, and mosquito repellent. Cons: T-Mobile and Verizon had very little, if any service, at the cabin. You can get a bar or two outside by the water, but it was spotty and long calls would get cut off. Bring entertainment (also had DVD player w/ some movies). There are water snakes in the lake. They are relatively small and we had no issues, but don't be surprised if you see one! Please be cautious driving on the country roads; deer are very unpredictable, especially in the morning and evening hours. Overall: great stay and we finally got to escape the city for a few days. Thank you to Rachel and Jerome for sharing your lakeside cabin with us!

2nd time staying here within 2 months. If you want a relaxing experience, cut off from outside influences, this is the place! If you live off the internet or TV, don't come here. And I say that in a great way! My wife and I (late 50's and 60) looked forward to the Lakeside Cabin to unplug and talk. we floated on the lake, fished, sat outside and listened to nature! If you need to unwind, please consider this! We'll be back again next year!

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this charming lakefront cabin! The location was perfect—quiet, peaceful, and the ideal place to unplug. We enjoyed fishing right from the property, swimming in the lake, and relaxing in the hot tub in the evenings. The cabin was stocked with plenty of kitchen utensils, pots, and pans, making it easy to prepare meals. The outdoor dining area and fire pit were wonderful touches that made our time outside even more enjoyable. The hosts were fantastic—very attentive and quick to communicate throughout our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway and can’t wait to come back! Excellent way to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary.

We loved our stay at the cabin. Hosts provided many extras that aren't typically expected at a rental; dishwasher pods, toiletries, plenty of towels, dish soap, trash bags, and more! The home is beautiful, nicely decorated, lots of little notes and reminders which were helpful. The water pressure in the shower was fantastic! There are a few places that my cell phone intermet worked (verizon). The chair at the screen porch table closest to the insideide door.

About the host

Hosted by Jerome and Rachel Gabriel

Host profile image
Our family has been coming to this area for years to relax and recharge, and now we're thrilled to share that same experience with our guests.

Why they chose this property

The Lakeside Cabin provides an unforgettable getaway experience that our family has enjoyed for years. We fell in love with the peaceful atmosphere of Hohman Lake and the opportunity to unwind from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We especially love sitting on the dock and watching the beautiful sunsets (or sunrises for the early risers). We're thrilled to be able to offer this same experience to others. Plus, the cabin is conveniently located next to our other VRBO property, making it the perfect option for larger groups or families traveling together.

What makes this property unique

Our family's favorite aspect of the Lakeside Cabin was the lack of cable TV and internet. It allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of our surroundings and spend quality time reconnecting with each other. We understand that some may view this as an inconvenience, but for us, it was an opportunity to unplug and recharge. We want to provide that same opportunity to our guests who are looking for a place to disconnect from technology and focus on spending time with loved ones.
