I loved staying here! Calm, peaceful, and relaxing. Beautiful views from this nice 3 bedroom cabin. Very well maintained and stocked well for cooking with plenty of pots and pans for cooking. Would definitely stay again!
Beautiful, clean home in a beautiful setting on a hill, & on the water. Met the owners, very nice & offering if we needed anything. Everything at the home was furnished & nice. Had a great stay!!
We stayed for 3 nights at this beautiful property. The inside of the house was spotless when we arrived, and it is obvious that the cabin and the grounds are well cared for. It has a cute beach area and fire pit, and they provide a pedal boat and several kayaks. They were even adding more sand to the beach on the day we were leaving, in preparation for the upcoming summer season.Check in and communication with the host was easy and hassle free. We rented a pontoon boat from Weiner Rides (a popular boat rental company on the lake who has built their company name around their furry friends). He delivered it and picked it up. We have already been talking to our families about visiting again, but this time with our grandkids.
The cabin was very clean, with an inviting atmosphere both inside and out. My wife and I stayed there while also visiting her mother in Marion, and some friends were able to visit us at the cabin as well, with lots of comfortable seating.
We have a fairly large family with kids in multiple ages, this spot was perfect there was stuff for everyone including plastic toddler bowls! Great fishing, fun mini beach. We had a blast!
We had a 70th birthday party at a local rec center and this was a perfect spot to have our of town guests stay. Lovely home, beautiful view and the grandkids loved the beach area! Very quick response from Scott! We would definitely stay again! Thank you!

About the host
Hosted by Scott Shawmeker
Mary Ann and I retired a few years ago and are now more about enjoying our life and especially our 5 grandbabies.
Why they chose this property
This property has been in my family since 1901. Before there was a lake it was my great Grandfathers farm. The surrounding property and across the lake were a part of the 85 acre property. In 1963-ish, as the lake was being created the farm was parceled out were each of the Adams children received a lot (hence Adams Acres) and the property beneath the lake and across was sold. The cabin is located on my Uncle Denny's lot that briefly was owned outside of the family. We were able to purchase it and build the cabin in exactly the same spot and footprint of his original cabin.
What makes this property unique
The cabin at Adams Acres offers close proximity to the local highways (Interstates 24 & 57 and Illinois routes 37 & 148) are a few minutes away. The home is newer (built in 2016) with the express purpose of being a short stay cabin for people visiting Southern Illinois...including my family. We did our best to insure the place includes the creature comforts of a home with the solitude and privacy of a lakeside cabin. There is a dock, private beach (shared with our home next door), kayaks and peddle boat for recreation. There is also a fire pit down by the water for night time fun.
