Excellent cabin! My family had a great time, the beach area is awesome for little ones or if you just want to sit on the beach and enjoy the lake. The Dock was great for my boat. Easy lake access with public boat launches. The cabin was very clean. Tip: park your cars towards the top of the hill if you can. We parked right by the house under the trees and ended up leaving with a cracked windshield and a couple dents on the hood from falling acorns/debris from the tall trees. Nature’s fault, not the owners. We will stay here again in the future.

Very clean and nice property. Some suggestions for future renters: boxes of kleenex, extra blankets, ice maker turned on/working, more comfortable furniture upstairs, more comfortable mattress. Didn't sleep well on current mattress. Lock on sliding door in basement doesnt work. Thanks

About the host

Hosted by Scott Shawmeker

Host profile image
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.
