I stayed with a group of friends for a crafting retreat we do every year and this was our favorite location we've been to! The house was wonderful, the beds were comfy, the rooms were spacious, and the kitchen had everything we needed. All of the bedrooms were actual private bedrooms, not other rooms turned into bedrooms. Victoria came over and met us the first day and was very helpful and responsive. The house felt very private and the view over the lake was gorgeous especially in the morning, but there were still groceries and restaurants nearby. A couple of us got massages at the house and highly recommend adding that on - our massage therapist was very good and it was super convenient having her come to us!

Beautiful Property

My family and I rented this property to get together for a weekend and absolutely loved it. The house had everything we needed, the grounds were perfect for our dogs and kids to run around, and the host always responded promptly to any questions we had. We are already talking about coming back in the future!

Fantastic Getaway

We had a reunion/retirement party at the Labrador Lakehouse Inn and I cant stress just how mich fun it was. The property was well maintained and the proprietor was easy to communicate with. Will have to stay here again when the weather is warmer to take advantage of the lake. Thanks!

Awsome

This was a perfect place for our family members from all over the US to stay for our son's wedding. Every room had its own bath. The kitchen had everything we needed. The great room had a giant sectional where we hung out and talked and played board games. Victoria is a very thoughtful host too. Highly recommend.

Perfect for SIU Law School Graduation

Our family drove about 4 hours to Carbondale. It was approximately 10 minutes from the graduation ceremony. It was perfect for all of us. I can’t imagine enjoying the weekend anymore than we did. It was perfect for us to celebrate and enjoy our son’s JD weekend. Thanks for everything!

End of Summer Celebration with Friends

We had 5 families of friends join us for an end of summer celebration. We loved that we all had our own bathrooms and showers/tubs. It was big enough so that the kids could do their thing away from the adults, but close enough to keep tabs. We all hadn't vacationed together; and this venue with its size and emenities allowed for success. We loved it so much that we're planning to make this an annual tradition. Thank you Labrador Lakehouse!

This place was PERFECT for our family from all over the country!

We so enjoyed this home for our family reunion!! Family from Georgia, California, Ohio and Oregon stayed in the home. We had our reunion at the home on Saturday. Other family from near hear in Illinois gathered from around. We had almost 50 family from 2-year-olds through 88-year-olds! Got to celebrate my only living uncle's birthday! The wrap around porch was perfect all day long. Weather was good all weekend for us. When the sun got a little too hot we just kept moving around the porch to find the shade and nice breeze! Sooo much room to spread out! Bedrooms were great!! Event room on bottom level allowed all 50 of us to sit at tables. Some fished! We loved it so much we are thinking about coming back in Fall 2025 for a nearby family wedding! Loved it!!

The perfect stay!

We have nothing but praise for Labrador Lakehouse Inn & Wedding Venue. This lovely Victorian house accommodated our high school-aged Perfectos baseball team that played at SIU over the weekend. The space is spectacular with its beautifully decorated, spacious rooms and number of bathrooms. What a delightful house and property! Our hostess made sure the guys had everything they needed to fish the picturesque lake at the back of the property. The team also enjoyed playing corn hole in the back yard and all kinds of games in the basement. The open kitchen made preparing meals a breeze. We marveled at the response time of our hostess, as though she had her app open every second of the day. Not that we needed her that much, but she was so helpful and available to make sure we had what we needed. When we needed something, she actually came and dealt with it in person and then when our schedule changed twice, she allowed us to have a late checkout with no hesitation. It was a pleasure working with her and our team made great memories over the weekend at Labrador Lakehouse. The area is stunning with its lush, rolling landscape. There are several wineries in the vicinity with great food, live music and outdoor dining areas plus very cool antique shops. You feel like you’re pleasantly secluded in the back woods yet the college town of Carbondale is just minutes away with its lively culture, restaurants, and shopping. We cannot recommend Labrador Lakehouse highly enough.

Great for multiple families

We had a great time for our family vacation. The pond offered fun water activities for the days/afternoons we weren’t hiking. The rooms all having private bathrooms was nice although the bathrooms were very basic and lacked storage. Host was very responsive when we had questions. Fun collection of vintage memorabilia but they did cause some clutter especially with 3 families. Overall a good stay. It is a bit of a drive to some of the Shawnee Natl Forest trails if that’s your thing.

About the host

Hosted by Victoria Johnson

Host profile image

I moved from Washington State to Murphysboro, IL in September 2019. I had never been to Southern Illinois and knew no one in the area. I fell in love with this gorgeous house on Zillow, went into escrow without seeing it in person, quit my job of 10 years and decided to just go for it! YOLO as the millennials say! After all, I was just about to turn 50 and I wasn’t getting any younger.

I have long dreamed of owning an Inn and Event Venue where my house could also be my business. Such a Hallmark movie fantasy of mine.

I take a lot of pride in what I’m doing, as this is my heart, my passion and my livelihood. I do my very best, every day, to make this vision not only come to fruition (which I think it’s in the process of), but to also be sustainable and wildly successful. And that means everyone’s experience here will provide them with beautiful and lifelong memories!

Thank YOU to my guests, friends, family, and supporters for being a part of my dream! And for being the very BEST part of my story!

Much love and gratitude,
Victoria (and my baby, Maggie)

Why they chose this property

I have Superhost status with over 300 five star reviews on another hosting site. Our guests love Labrador Lakehouse Inn!

We have 5 private bedrooms which are located on the top third level of the house. They are beautifully appointed and each has a bathroom and adjustable thermostat. There is also an apartment suite in the main level that is ADA compliant. It offers two small bedrooms, a bathroom, a living and dining area, and a kitchenette. It sleeps 4 people.

We have coffee and tea accommodations for guests. Use my spices and oils and cook on the stove or on the island Jenn Air griddle and grill.

You will have access to enjoy the main level and top level of the house. There is a living room, dining area and a cozy TV watching spot. The lower level is available for groups having a party or event. Extra fees and a signed event contract will be completed at your request and owner approval.

What makes this property unique

We offer a variety of guest services including spa treatments in your bedroom or in the Spa.

We have two Reme Halo In-duct air purifiers which claim to “reduce common allergy triggers from particulates such as pollen, mold spores, dander and dust. Thoroughly tested on airborne and surface bacteria & viruses, such as MRSA, e-coli, and Norwalk, to name a few. It removes odors from cooking, pets, dirty socks, diaper pails, and musty rooms.”

We also have a Reverse Osmosis (RO water) filter system in the kitchen you are welcome to drink. We use it in the coffee pots and it makes for delicious coffee! The Benefits of Reverse Osmosis Water “is that it contains no lead, reducing the risk of high blood pressure and kidney/liver issues. ​RO water contains no parasites. Water parasites, especially cryptosporidium, can g​​​​​et into the digestive tract and cause stomach pain or other gastrointestinal issues. It tastes delicious and guests love it!
