Nice house

Great house lots of room. Property manager was very helpful. She text me tight back when I had a question. Boat dock could use some electrical outlets. But everything else was great. Will rent again. Hopefully next year.

Beautiful Lake House

Beautiful lake house. Decor and all the little touches were fabulous. The house was clean, comfortable and relaxing. Everything you need is at the house. John greeted us when we arrived and was very welcoming. We were in town for the weekend for a wedding. Will defiantly be back to enjoy the lake!

Charming!

This home was the perfect midway location for us to meet up with friends. The home and property and amenities exceeded our expectations. The home is so cozy and decorated with adorable lakeside cabin charm. The location, the fire pit with wood supplied, access to kayaks to use and dock on the water for fishing(with fishing rods for the kids/tackle box) were all just perfect. We all had so much fun at the house we really didn't need to leave. The home is well-stocked with all of the cleaning supplies and kitchen utensils needed. Thanks for a wonderful getaway!

About the host

Hosted by Tom Olmsted

Tom and Salisa Olmsted are investors domiciled in Gays Illinois. They have short term rental properties on Lake Sara, Lake Paradise, Shelbyville and Decatur Illinois in the historic district. In addition to these properties the Olmsted's have about 30 single family homes in the area.

Why they chose this property

We consider ourselves fortunate to have found this property to buy on this great lake as they are scarce. Moccasin Cove in my opinion is the best one on the lake.

What makes this property unique

Lake Sara is a great little lake near Effingham, Illinois with a lot of things to do. It has 2 marinas. You can visit by water Pinky's to eat and drink and even rent or launch a boat at the marina there. It has a great beach area with lots of activities for the kids and the adults. The fishing is good here on the west end of the lake. There are also 2 golf courses on the lake if that is your thing. You'll be amazed at the beautiful homes that line this lake. Great 4th of July fireworks. Fun times.
