Why they chose this property

We purchased this property so we could have a nice quiet place to get away from the grind of daily living. We stay several days a month depending on bookings. It's great to spend a weekend there relaxing with friends, maybe doing a little fishing or roasting hot dogs on the fire pit. Great little lake for unwinding.

What makes this property unique

it's a quiet place to unwind, do a little fishing, take out the peddle boat or kayak or just read a book. Just moments from Amish communities, wineries and Lake Shelbyville. The closest beach is at Lake Mattoon and is 6.2 miles from the cabin.
