About the host
Hosted by Kris Shellabarger
Hi! We’re Kris and Matt, the owners of Red Roof Retreats here at Lake of Egypt in Southern Illinois.
What started as one little cabin turned into a collection of unique stays designed for people who love the outdoors, lake life, and simple moments together. We live nearby and are very hands-on with our properties, always looking for ways to make each stay comfortable, clean, and welcoming.
We believe in morning coffee on the deck, stargazing by the firepit, wildlife sightings, and slowing down long enough to actually enjoy where you are.
Whether you’re here to hike Shawnee National Forest, paddle the lake, visit local wineries, or just unplug for a few days, we’re happy you chose to stay with us.
We’re available by call or text if you need anything — but we also respect your space and want you to feel at home.
Welcome to the lake 🤍
