One of the most beautiful properties I’ve ever seen . Was calm , and serenity just a few miles outside town . The property was immaculate and so inviting . We loved fishing off the dock and had some great laughs as a family . Caught alot of fish , and felt at peace . We will definitely be staying again , already looking at dates I can go back and sit outside and see the breathtaking view . Highly recommend 10/10 . Host was very helpful.

10/10 would stay here again. Serene location with a small lake on the property with tons of fish. Owners even provided rowboat and life jackets. We also saw deer, frogs and a wild turkey. Comfy beds and well stocked kitchen with everything we needed.

This was a marvelous location close to our family that live nearby. The house was clean and tidy and just perfect for what we needed for the weekend. Plenty of parking for guest and my house were very nice. They even came out in the middle of a rain storm and cut up a tree that fell across the driveway. Their prompt Service allowed our grandkids to get back to their house and in bed in a more timely manner. Thanks to them so much for that. Can’t wait till we get another opportunity to go back.

Our stay was delightful, the house is a gem in the woods.There were so many birds in the morning along with the turkey and deer. We walked the property and it all was so peaceful and serene. The house was very nice and everything in it. Highly recommended for some quality sound with nature, rest and renewal. Thank you

This was our 2nd time staying here and so looking forward to our 3rd later this year. Nothing beats the peace and quiet this property offers. Megan is a amazing host!! Making sure wife and I had everything we need to enjoy our stay. If your staying in or around this area, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND giving this home a try. Also stop by the lake and say Hi to Richard the turtle. Haha! " He the large one in the lake "

Megan had the cabin decorated for Valentines Day, it was an unexpected touch. The cabin is very nice, secluded and beautiful scenery all around. I highly recommend it if you like nature.

Our stay here was peaceful and enjoyable. It was easy to get to, off of a quiet road in a rural area. There are multiple porches for sitting outside and enjoying the beauty of the pond and the woods. It was a wonderful place to spend hours watching and listening to a variety of birds. And when you do want to go inside, there are comfortable amenities. We were able to park in the garage, which we were thankful for during a storm. The host was helpful and easy to communicate with. This is a great place to spend some time relaxing.

We had a wonderful stay! The house was great—very clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated for Christmas, which made it feel extra special. The private lake was a highlight for us; fishing kept us entertained and relaxed throughout our stay. Everything was well maintained, and we truly enjoyed our time here. We would absolutely stay again and recommend this home to others.

Our stay was comfortable and just what we needed. The property is truly the highlight of the rental. It is quiet and private. That makes it very relaxing. The beds are comfortable. The home was clean and tidy. I only have one aspect of the property that was disappointing. There are no tables, table lamps or throws available in the living room. Those items aren’t needed but would make spending time in the living room more comfortable. Other than that, all is as described and made for a pleasant stay.

Do yourself a favor and book this property. We have booked many properties all over Illinois and Missouri and this place just jumped to the top of our list. The property is so relaxing in countless ways. Very secluded, yet restaurants and everything you need are just 15 minutes away in Waterloo.

We As a family have stayed at several vrbo. I can say this ome was on the top of our list as far as being equiped with everything you need! Linens, bedding, cooking supplies of all sorts, cleaning supplies. The Host was very quick to reply and answer any questions we had. You can tell they are in the process of continually improving on the property. The acces was great! We pulled a 20'pontoon in and had no problem turning around in the drive. And not to mention, having the availabilty of a outbuilding was fantastic for us to store our fishing poles and gear in the evening! Not to mention the wildlife was great! If your looking for a relaxing place in this area. This is your spot!!

Megan was great! When the weather was expected to be bad, she sent a message checking to see if we needed anything. I loved that we had full access to the location without the worry of disturbing others, or being disturbed. The property was beautiful and peaceful. Just what I needed. Cannot wait to book this location again maybe in the summer so that we can enjoy the outside.

We loved everything about our stay in the woods. From the minute we pulled into the secluded tree-lined driveway, we felt like we were truly in the woods. Megan, the host, was very kind and easy to communicate with. The house was well appointed and clean. The lake was AMAZING. The fall leaves made the place look magical. We fished, we hiked around the property and we played games in the shed that we brought from home. We will stay again. What a beautiful property!
Bright & cheery open concept.
