Just as described

We booked Nature's Getaway for a short family vacation and everything at the house was just as described. We had a great time. The home was tidy and offered plenty of things to do. I especially liked that every room in the house had a view of the lake. We had a great stay.

Retreat to Nature

A lovely and comfortable property nestled in the hills of Southern Illinois, this rental offers bird and deer watching from all sides. We hiked and visited a winery and thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas week together.

View of lake and sky were very nice…large rooms and open ate w many windows; each bedroom has outside access.House does sit at atop a somewhat steep “bluff” property. Descent to boat dock is aided by step but does require effort Quiet starlit evening is enhanced by large fire pit w plenty of fuel already available. On-hand Basic supplies (coffee, oil, condiments) were helpful and appreciated

GREAT HOME IN A SECLUDED COVE

Great lakeside home! Looks small from the outside but inside is a surprisingly large but cozy interior, perfectly appointed for quiet relaxation or family game night fun. Very peaceful, secluded cove below the home with a private boat dock. Great owner/caretaker, always in touch if you need anything during your stay. And here's a huge plus: The beds are comfy. That is a deal breaker for a spoiled business traveler like myself. I slept like a log...Highly recommend this home on the lake!

Great cabin on the lake

We stayed here for a long weekend to celebrate a birthday. The cabin was great. The beds were comfortable and the living room, dining room/kitchen was a good size for 4 adults, a kid, and two dogs. The sun room was fantastic and allowed us to enjoy the view of the lake while sipping our morning coffee. The patio was a nice size too. Because we were celebrating a birthday the hosts provided cupcakes and a card which was so nice and appreciated. The cabin came with other snacks and goodies and fire wood and fire starter for the fire pit and supplies for s’mores. We loved that the cabin was on the lake and that it had its own dock with a canoe and paddle boat which we enjoyed using. The only improvement we could see was that the second set of stairs down to the lake could use a hand rail as we had a small child and elderly people in our group. We had a fantastic stay and would rent this cabin again.

Beautiful

Beautifully stunning and relaxing house and location. Cutely decorated for fall. The knotty pine sunroom was my favorite spot in the house. I didn’t want to leave. I will rent here again!

Spectacular lake getaway even better than pictures

What a delight to stay here! The home is just lovely, appointed with stylish furniture, linens, and decor—pictures truly don’t do it justice! The lake was so much fun, with plenty to do including water toys and fishing, all provided for you! We enjoyed s’mores around the fire pit, and we were an easy drive within several parks for hiking and enjoying the outdoors. Can’t say enough nice things about the hosts, they were prompt to respond and made sure we had everything we needed! We WILL be back. Stay here, you won’t be disappointed!
