Om overnatningsstedet

Cozy Retreat on Gypsy Cove!

If you are looking for a place to unwind from daily life, this is the place!!!! Sit back & relax anytime of year with our covered screened in patio. Enjoy nature at it's finest.

Cozy Cabin nestled among the trees at Lake Sara. Home has an open concept living space with beautiful views of the lake. Private area you won't have to worry about unwanted noise.
Lovely outside space great for relaxing and enjoying nature! Bring your boat with during your stay. There is plenty of space to swim from the dock and participate in all the water sports you desire.
4 bedrooms and 2 full baths make this getaway a truly relaxing and spacious retreat. One of the bedrooms is located in an open space with air conditioning above the garage. Great for couples or the entire gaggle of children leaving the adults to enjoy their time in the house. The other remaining bedrooms are inside.
The home is located in a private cove that is away from the worries of wake from boaters passing by.

Outside there is large deck off the house that is great for entertaining or eating a meal. We have a charcoal grill on the deck for your use to grill out. There is a fire pit outside for your use. We do not usually stock firewood so I would recommend getting some beforehand for your use. If there is wood provided, feel free to use some of it. A short path leads down to the boat dock from the large deck, there you will find Adirondack chairs for relaxation & floats for use in the water. The door on the left side of the boat house has floats & noodles for use. Please be respectful of the neighbors and keep noise to a minimum later in the evenings. Failure to do so will result in funds taken from deposit.

If anything is damaged during your stay PLEASE let us know so we can replace what has been broken.

We want to invite anyone who wants to enjoy Lake Sara to its fullest to come relax! We strive to make your experience the best it can be. We hope to see you soon!

A couple notes:
-Please respect our home as you would your own.
-be respectful of the neighbors. They are within close proximity to the vacation rental and we would hate to disturb them.
-this is a cabin type feel of a home. It’s not updated or brand new. It isn’t perfect. Price all reflects this. We have the same rate year round. If you’re not looking for the cabin feel, please don’t book as it will not meet expectations! This is a safe clean place to rest heads and relax with those you love all in one place!
We own the home next door as well so if you are in need of a place for several guests, look no further! That is located on VRBO has well under "Lake Sara Dream"

The location is beautiful and the kitchen set up works well for feeding a group of people. We found the towel supply a bit thin. We had 8 people staying for 4 nights and there were only 12 towels. Plus there wasn’t anywhere to hang the wet towels. We felt like there wasn’t enough lighting. We found it dark at night. The deck area has great potential but seemed not very well maintained. The decking needs a good power washing. The deck furniture needs to be painted. The screened in porch was lovely and the table there was a wonderful place to enjoy a meal. The extra bedroom over the garage doesn’t have a bathroom which made it an inconvenient place to stay. There were only 4 rolls of toilet paper and we had 8 people staying for 5 days and 4 nights. Luckily one of our guest brought some with them The refrigerator water and ice dispenser didn’t work. Luckily we had brought ice and purchased bottled water.

Hi Robyn, thank you for your review. -We only supply enough towels for guests staying (8). -Thank you for letting me know about lack of hanging space , nobody has honestly mentioned that in the 3 years we've owned this space. (that bothers me at hotels!) -outside is covered in trees and there is a LOT of wood. There is no way we can constantly keep it perfect. We got the space pressure washed two years ago. It gets covered in the elements VERY quickly outside due to the space. Definitely not from the lack of effort. -If you look at the pictures on here you can see the extra space above the garage does not have a bathroom. I also have this rental listed as a cabin feel. -Staying at an Airbnb you only get so much paper products. Once gone, you have to supply your own. -Thank you for telling me about the fridge and the dispensers. At the end of the day, most of these are issues I feel you could have reached out to me about for me to address vs not telling me at all and writing them in a review. I can fix about everything on your review other than pressure washing the deck. That happens every few years. In the future when you stay at an Airbnb, let the hosts know of your thoughts and issues or ask for more towels or TP. Communicate. Vs just not saying anything at all and then leaving a bad review like this. These are our livelihood and you're damaging it. Giving us a chance to make it right before bashing the space would have been the right thing to do.

It was perfect for a group. There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep comfortably, and we loved having two large living areas plus the screened-in deck to spread out and relax. The location was peaceful and quiet, with a beautiful view. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with plenty of space in a serene setting.

Great place!

We stayed here for a big family trip (including small child), and had a great time! We loved Lake Sara and the convenience of having a dock right off the back deck when we rented boats for the day, and the house itself had everything we could’ve wanted both inside and outside. Thank you for letting us enjoy the home!

Beautiful serene setting.

Everyone slept great! Plenty of room to spread out. And the setting was beautiful. The reason for the four, is the deck was a bit wobbly, and there were some rotten boards on part of the dock.

We had a great weekend! The house is so cozy and feels like you’re in a secluded cabin. The screened patio overlooking the lake and dock was amazing. I would have given 5 stars but to me it needed more in the description about amenities. The beds were very comfy and everyone slept great. The pictures showed a canoe and my son was really excited to go out and fish on it but it was not there, unfortunately. Which would have been fine if we knew ahead of time and would have brought our own. There were also no extra blankets so again would have brought our own if we knew. I’m sure this is because there is no washer and dryer in the house which is fine but would have been more prepared with bedding. While the amenities didn’t list a washer and dryer it might be helpful to specifically put in the description that there is not a washer/dryer on site and also to bring extra blankets or bedding if you want to have anyone sleep on a couch. The kitchen was pretty well stocked though and the house was really clean! So overall it is a great house and we would definitely go back!

Check in was great, we did arrive in Effingham earlier than expected. We texted to see if we could enter the house earlier. We were texted back and the house was ready an hour earlier for us, which was wonderful. Kitchen was accommodating with good counter space & room. Fridge could have used a bit better cleaning. There were lots of crumbs of food in the door food/drink holders & on the shelves.

Ok for a weekend

Let’s start with the good, beautiful view of Lake Sara! My kids and husband enjoyed fishing off the dock. Very nice outdoor area, although the deck has a lot of rotted wood so we didn’t feel comfortable all sitting on the deck. The house is very dated which would be fine if it had been cleaned. I’m not sure when someone was here last but the shower curtain in the bathroom is full of mold. There were cigarette butts still sitting in the ash of the grill. A lot of dust everywhere. There was not enough washcloths for everyone in the family to take 1 let alone 2 showers. I did contact the owner and he says not everyone uses washrags so they don’t leave more than 4 per bathroom. I found that strange and slightly gross. Again, fine for a night or 2. I would not stay an extended time here. The house needs a lot of work.

To future guests that read this review... -It is a washable shower curtain. I spoke with my cleaner about making sure she keeps an eye on this in the future. It was washed immediately when you made me aware it had mildew. -I have a family of 6. I am the only person who uses a wash cloth daily. Out of all our vacation rentals and the placement of linens in bathrooms, I have never had anyone mention the need for so many wash cloths over the course of a weekend stay. I don't see why the same wash cloth couldn't be used for both days for the same person? A new one has to be used each day? I would suggest traveling with your own wash cloths if you stay at airbnb's int he future as this is not standard practice. This is what I would consider "a personal preference" Of course had you mentioned this need or questioned before your arrival, we could've most definitely made sure you had enough to suit your needs! -We have been booked solid and have not had the time to deep clean dust on hanging light fixtures and fans. It was on our list to do just was waiting for the opportunity. (I did also mention this to you when you messaged me) The house itself was not dirty, just dusty.

Perfect Location, Good Price, Lovely Outdoor Areas, Easygoing Hosts, Could Have Been Cleaner

We booked this home for a girlfriend weekend retreat. It was perfectly located for us (coming from 4 different states). The outdoor areas are lovely and we were sad that the weather was such we didn't get to use them. The furnishings are dated (described accurately in listing), which would have been fine had the inside areas been cleaned better. The bathroom and kitchen were clean enough (though the cleaning process left an unpleasantly strong disinfectant smell behind, which lingered for a long time, bit of a musty smell later), but there was a fairly thick layer of dust on surfaces throughout the rest of the house and the floors were cleaned only in the centers of the rooms if at all. There were mouse droppings, dead insects, and accumulated dust/dirt in the corners and under the furniture. That all said, we are all 60-something yo women who keep our own homes so we are relatively tough critics. Also, we were mostly housebound for the weekend, so the condition of the indoor areas mattered a lot to us.

Om værten

Vært: The Cox Family

Værtens profilbillede
We are a family of 5 from right outside of Champaign, IL. Todd grew up coming to Lake Sara on the weekends in the Spring & Summers with his family. His family throughout the years owned two properties on the lake. One of which has now been bull dozed down to make room for a much larger lake home on a great tip point! Amber is originally from Wisconsin (Go Pack Go) but was never able to enjoy a lake as beautiful as Lake Sara.

We really enjoy continuing the tradition with our children and having our families continue to enjoy the lake as well. Our children absolutely love the lake and love bringing their friends and cousins to enjoy it with them. It gives us a chance to all be together without the use of modern day electronics! We almost didn't even get a TV at either of the homes.

Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted

We own the property right next door and we have really been wanting to have the opportunity to own the lot next door and the house that came with it. When this home and lot came on the market we jumped at the opportunity! We thought it would be great for us, our family, and the guests that maybe want more space other than just one home!

Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt

Fishing is fantastic and this property makes you feel like you are in Northern Wisconsin!
A beautiful cabin gem that we are excited to share with you!
