Perfect Anniversary Get-Away

What an incredible stay! After our last VRBO stay(at a different property, with different management, in a completely different state), we were really reluctant to book again, but Alison and this property restored our faith.We brought our puppy along for a quick anniversary get-away to celebrate 22 years and this property was perfect!We’d love to come back in the future!

Everything was just as advertised. We loved the seclusion and the overall property experience. We also loved KEVIN, the golden retriever. He greeted us on arrival and came to say, goodbye when we left. He is adorable.

My stay here was fantastic. Checkin was extremely easy. There is a sign by the road to make finding the cabins easy. The cabin was exactly as described. Kitchen facilities had everything I needed to cook 3 full meals for 2 full days. Water pressure and temperature are great. We had a wonderful time enjoying the pond and outdoor area as well! Recommend to everyone.

About the host

Hosted by Southern Illinois Vacation Rentals

Host profile image
This property is managed by Southern Illinois Vacation Rentals, a veteran-owned, woman-owned business. Allison, owner of SIVR, is an SIUC alumna and has a deep love for the hospitality industry and showcasing beautiful southern Illinois.

Why they chose this property

We started our hosting journey with a 50 ft. motor yacht on Kentucky Lake in 2016. We chartered the yacht and offered a novel nightly stay to Kentucky Lake guests. Although we loved the experience, we felt that there was a way to offer a great experience in a more logistically favorable way. In 2017, we broke ground on the back 5 acres of our property. We finished our first 2 cabins in 2018 and have since added a lake with a beach and a 3rd cabin. We have a 5-year vision for a "glamping" attraction that will feature 6 cabins, a lake, and a community building for small reunions, retreats, and celebrations.

What makes this property unique

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to stay in a micro cabin or tiny house? Our cabins are considered "large" tiny homes at 560 square feet- making them fun, but very roomy and comfortable.

We love the modern appeal and we designed them with our young... and young at heart travelers in mind. They feature warm wood elements with soft white shiplap and plenty of natural light.
