About this property

Tranquil Waters Retreat

Kick back and relax in this calm, stylish space on Lake Sara with beautiful lake views. With plenty of space across two floors, kids can enjoy their own space with TVs and games while the adults relax upstairs.

Lake Sara is located near Effingham, IL and offers boating, fishing and swimming. The home is only eight (8) minutes drive from town, and just inside a cove so the lake views are fantastic but not on the main body where the waves can be quite big. There is a boat dock where you can park a boat and we have kayaks and water toys for guests to can use.

It would be better if the tv in the guest bedroom worked. We were never able to get it to stay on.

Why they chose this property

We love our lake house because it feels peaceful and secluded with lots of natural shade and beautiful lake views from most rooms. It is also only a few minutes from town so it's very convenient. The neighborhood is fantastic for evening walks and bike rides.

What makes this property unique

Our lake house is the ideal vacation retreat with plenty of space and lots of things to do on the water and around the lake. Every guest will find something they enjoy doing and the group will make fantastic memories.
