About this property

Fun Treehouse Getaway • Firepit • Lake Access

Treehouse built beneath an oak tree and two tall pines. Queen bedroom on main floor and trap door to downstairs with 3 twin beds. Luxury bathroom with a rock river set in the floor, a glass shower door where the rock tile continues, and an interesting sink made from a flowerpot and an old set of drawers. Bucket pulley on back deck 20+ feet up. Living area with sofa bed and full kitchen. Large deck on the front and beautiful sunsets to enjoy while grilling or sitting around the firepit.

Outside the kitchen window is an herb garden for your gourmet cooking. Inside is a Cuisinart ice cream maker. We always have sugar, but make sure you bring cream and your favorite toppings and look up recipes for your favorite ice cream!

We provide wood for the firepit. A canoe, kayaks, paddleboards and paddleboat are all available for you to enjoy. We also have fishing poles in the cabin. Don't forget your fishing license!

Underneath the cabin is a hammock for your daily nap!

High speed wifi!

There is a beautiful sunbathing or stargazing deck on the lake you can enjoy with a fire pit you are welcome to use.

There are great wineries, hiking and biking nearby! There are always fun Southern IL festivals and you can even zipline!

We also have other cabins right near to it if you have more people coming!

Please no smoking inside the cabin.

We are available to our guests by phone or text and will be around much of the summer.

It's so quiet and all of the neighbors are wonderful. It is a very safe area. Fun to walk around or ride bikes. Quick walk up the road to Lake of Egypt where all the lake toys and lifejackets are located. Come paddle, swim and hang out for the day.

Ferne Clyffe State Park is the closest place to hike about 6 miles away. Shawnee National Forest.

There is no public transit to the cabin.

We have a little camp store within walking distance if you want to buy souveniers, sweatshirts or handmade items by local artists.

About the host

Hosted by Kris Shellabarger

Host profile image
We are originally from the St. Louis area and Ohio. We bought our lake house at Lake of Egypt and eventually moved there. We loved it so much we started building vacation rentals. We enjoy our guests so much and love the area!

Why they chose this property

We wanted to buy in Colorado because of the night sky. The Lake of Egypt sky was just the same but much closer to home. On many nights, we can see the milky way. There is not a lot of light pollution and to watch the sky and a bonfire is so much better than anything we could watch on TV!

What makes this property unique

The night sky is amazing and you can build a bonfire anytime you want. The treehouse has a bucket pulley 20 feet in the air and also has a trap door bedroom. It is a special place for couples and for families. The deer are all over as are many beautiful birds.
