Set your own mood with our lighting, sit back by the fireplace, enjoy the amazing lake views, play with the new 65 inch 4K tv, Alexa, WiFi, LED HUE Lighting, top notch stereo system and connect to easily with your phone and enjoy the warm feeling of this 95 year old cottage. Walk too experience the new Devon Amphitheatre when open, Beach house, Children's Museum, Sculpture garden, Decatur Zoo & Train, mini-Golf and flower garden within the Nelson park area. Bring your boat for a weekend on the lake or go swimming off the dock. Take a walk on the bike and walk path to the new 911 memorial. Enjoy the best views on Lake Decatur all while relaxing in our new furniture, new lighting and entertainment system featuring a 4K 65 inch Smart TV and Smart TV's in both bedrooms. Our cottage is fully furnished and is easily accessed. This vista offers a refreshing and stimulating experience that is a much better value for the cost than any other option in central Illinois !! We live just across the lake and will be easily accessible for anything you need during your stay. I do want to caution that the house sits on the top of a bluff with a lot of steps, I wanted to note this for anyone with small children or that are not a fan of a few extra stairs.

Feeling 'at Home' in Decatur

Loved my Stay in my ole' hometown at this Lake Cabin-style property - - where i grew-up learning how to "Sail on this very Lake" that this property overlooks. I felt 'at home' in this well-appointed property - - so lovely. And, it will be my 1st-Choice of places to stay on my next visit. The Host/propertyOwner was super helpful & wonderfully accommodating - which made my Stay even better!

Private place with a view

This cozy cottage on Lake Decatur was perfect for our family of 6 for Thanksgiving. Everything we needed and a beautiful view. Our host suggested we walk west at dusk which was fantastic with the sunset reflected on the lake. There are outdoor stairs which helps the view and privacy but there are quite a few. And bring your own shower/bath supplies.

Home with a view!

Everything about this visit was wonderful, from the first communication to the last. The owner was extremely responsive and his home was lovely. We really loved being able to have dinner outside overlooking the lake. We were close proximity to everything. The neighborhood was quiet and we had all the kitchen items we would need to feed a family of four.
