Near Ferne Clyffe state park, Giant City State Park, multiple southern IL wineries, and many other lakes and parks. So much amazing hiking nearby. Shawnee National Forest! Fishing, boating, mountain biking, hiking, relaxing!

Unfortunately, this is not near any public transportation.

If there is ice outside, it may be hard to get in and out of neighborhood.

Smaller loft has a ladder to access it. Larger loft has steep stairs.

High speed wifi, smart TV, games and puzzles.

If the night is clear... have s'mores by the fire or sit on the deck and look at the amazing sky!

Beautiful views all around. The sky at night is breathtaking. Near amazing hiking and gorgeous wineries. Spend all day playing in lake & fishing, enjoy sunset on the deck or go antiquing & hiking.

Canoe, 2 Kayaks, Lilypad float and paddleboat included with rental. There is a private dock if you bring your boat with a swimming dock attached. Great fishing off of the dock and we keep fishing poles and a tackle box in your cabin.

Please no smoking inside the cabin.

We are available to our guests by phone or text.

It's so quiet and all of the neighbors are wonderful. It is a very safe area. Fun to walk around or ride bikes.

We have a little camp store within walking distance if you want to buy souveniers, sweatshirts or handmade items by local artists.

Have a peaceful magical vacation.

About the host

Host profile image
We love our own log cabin on the lake so much that we built another one to share with others. Our guests loved the log cabin so much that we built a tiny cabin on the lake, a treehouse and a 3 bedroom, 2 bath lake home to share with guests as well. We spend much of the summer boating, fishing and swimming during the day and sitting around the fire at night. We also love to check out the local farmer's markets and wineries and sometimes hit the antique stores. In the winter, it is so cozy and we love to hike and catch up on a good book.

Why they chose this property

Lake living is what we love and after we built our log cabin, we wanted to build another smaller version to share with others. We built this across the street from the lake, but still with a dock and lake access. It was so popular, we built more vacation rentals on Lake of Egypt.

What makes this property unique

Peaceful, charming, warm and a great place to relax after a day of hiking, biking, boating, fishing or antiquing! Cozy fireplace for cooler evenings and winter retreats! We have a tiny cabin across the street if you need more room and also a treehouse that sleeps 5-6.
