Great Experience!

The property is exactly as described, and its location is perfect to explore all that the area has to offer. We hiked the Giant City State Park, Ferne Clyffe State Park, and Tunnel Hill State Trail. The trails were very easy for our three kiddos, and there was so much climbing on the bluffs for them (and us) to take part in. The Trail of Tears Memorial at the Tunnel Hill Trailhead in Vienna, IL is a must see. We made a quick stop at the Boo Rothman Memorial Park, which was a lot of fun for the entire family. There were a ton of deer near the property as well. We enjoyed breakfast at Iron Whisk in Cobden, IL, dinner at Quatros Pizza in Carbondale, IL, and dinner at M.A.'s Filipino Cuisine in Marion, IL. The house was wonderful to come back to for relaxation after hiking and exploring all day. The kitchen was fully equipped to handle feeding our little army, and the couch was easy to doze off in while watching a movie in the evening. Highly recommend for families!

Birthday weekend

Everything was perfect! Loved the fire pit...we had perfect fall temps to enjoy. Having an upstairs for another couple was ideal. Absolutely no complaints!

An absolute gem to stay at!

We booked this property for a girls weekend getaway/wine trip and it was everything we we’re looking for and more! The property was beautiful, very clean, and right on the lake. Alison was very responsive and extremely helpful. Will definitely book this property again. Thanks for an amazing weekend!

Why they chose this property

Dr. Colvin purchased this lakefront home for it's terrific sunset views, great water and expansive entertainment space. The decision was made to convert the 3-car garage to it's own rental space which has proven to be a great decision.
