Guest Access:
Your safety and convenience are our top priorities. Our home features a secure, keyless entry system. Upon booking, you’ll receive a unique security code to access the property—no need to worry about losing keys! This ensures that only you and your group have access during your stay.
Parking is a breeze at our home! Our large driveway and additional carport provide plenty of space, comfortably accommodating up to 8 vehicles. However, we kindly ask that you avoid parking on the grass to help us maintain the property.
Whether you’re traveling with a group or just need extra space, we’ve got you covered! Let us know if you have any specific parking needs.
Other Things To Note:
We own the beach directly behind our house ending at the large sycamore tree. Please note that beach access varies with the level of the lake and the Illinois River. Generally, beach availability is only affected in early Spring, when river levels are high.
Guests are welcome to bring their own boats and jet skis to put into the water. Ramp access is not far from the home. Please let us know prior to your arrival and we will leave you the key to the public ramp.
Guests are encouraged to lawn chairs, water floats and any beach/pool like items to enjoy in the water. While we have spent a lot of time cleaning the beach and yard, we do recommend water shoes. Don’t forget your fishing gear! (4) life jackets are provided with the kayaks. Please use caution and swim at your own risk.
We are not an openly free pet home. However, if you need to bring your fur baby along, please reach out for approval and details. With some guests who may be allergic, a cleaning fee would be applied, and also a non-refundable pet deposit. If bringing more than (1) pet and staying for more than 3 nights, additional fees will apply.
Some good bug spray is a must! Being on the water and sand, there are lots of different crawling and flying insects. Keeping the lights off in the evening outside, and the doors shut, will help this issue a lot. We spray around the house, but the critters are inevitable.
**If you'd like an air mattress for additional sleeping space, a queen mattress and bedding can be provided for $50 throughout your stay.
Exterior Security Cameras on Property:
A ring camera is on the front door of our property. This allows us to see when guests arrive and depart for cleanings. During your stay, notifications will be turned off.
