We had a wonderful stay, the lake was peaceful and the kids loved the paddle boards. The property owners really thought of everything and all we had to bring was food, clothes, and hygiene products. We would definitely stay here again in the future

My family had a wonderful little getaway! The cabin was very cozy and quaint, just perfect! We also appreciated the coffee and condiments in the fridge as a courtesy. It was very windy weather when we visited, so we did not end up using the paddle boat or kayaks. However, my kids loved the floating raft off the dock and we all enjoyed the hot tub! Perfect location in Southern IL and would most definitely stay at a property of Kris’ and her husband’s in the future!!

Cute and Cozy Cabin

We absolutely loved coming back this cabin each day after hiking nearby spots. Our boys loved the little loft with the ladder and told us countless times they wanted to come back again sometime.

Perfect place for a fun and relaxing weekend!

My husband and I had a great time at this little cabin! It made for a very relaxing weekend together. The location is perfect and in a very quiet area. We enjoyed watching the deer while eating breakfast! We also had fun with the paddle boats and canoe. There are some great places to eat close by in Marion, but the cabin was also very well equipped for us to just make most of our meals right there.

We couldn't be happier with the accommodations or with our stay. Kris is a great communicator and a very hospitable host. We had absolutely everything we needed. The cabin is spacious, clean, and well appointed. My husband and I will definitely return to this property in the future.

This property was adorable and we would love to return in the near future. We met the owners who live across the street and they are very friendly, all their properties in the area look just as nice - well maintained and rustic. Easy access to lake for canoeing/kayaking too. We love this area but we came to town specifically for Vulture Fest which was disappointing/not what we expected so it was nice to have this little retreat.

Holiday weekend

Always great to be on this lake on July 4th. Cabin had everything we needed to enjoy our long weekend. I was disappointed in not being able to tie our boat onto the dock, but appreciated the use of the paddleboards and kayaks. Access to the dock was a hike!

Response from VrboOwner on Jul 20, 2022
Thank you for your kind words. I’m so sorry, Maribeth, that the dock situation wasn’t clear. You absolutely could’ve tied up to the dock. We recommended the other docks because of the crazy 4th of July boat traffic and all the guests- we wanted to be sure your boat was safe. I’m sorry it was a hike and next time, you can tie up to any of the docks at the bottom of the hill!

A sweet getaway with a homey feel

The property is off the lake but has access within 100 ft with a canoe, paddle boat, paddle boards, and even a stargazing deck. The owners are responsive, kind, and neighborly- they even brought over coffee filters and maple syrup! We loved staying here, and the cabin has tons of little touches that make it memorable, homey, and lux all at the same time. I’d suggest the red roof retreat to a couple of a couple with one or two kids for an outdoor/indoor getaway!

Lovely retreat

The cabin is adorable and just the right size for 1 - 4 people (if at least 2 are kids). Very clean. This trip was just me but I plan to bring my two kids with me next time. The master bed is comfortable. Access to the doc, canoe, paddle boats, etc is simple and even though it is shared, pretty private, too. Day tripping around the area was amazing. There is so much to see and the landscape is beautiful.
