Beautiful place to stay
We had a lovely getaway at the cabin, it was a beautiful place—the perfect balance of modern and cozy. It was very clean and they thought of almost everything. And the view was stunning, especially at sunrise as you see it rise across the lake. So grateful for our time!

Beautiful place!
We had a great mini family gathering. Everything was clean and the teens loved the downstairs area where they could chill watching movies on the big screen & playing games in the electronic board game console. The weather was gorgeous for November so we were able to take advantage of the grill, the deck, the cute outdoor seating area and the pier/fire pit. Everything was well organized and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking. Thank you for beautiful place to gather and rest with family!!

It was a nice extended weekend on the lake. The cabin is well decorated and has lots of amenities, The manager answered questions promptly, The lake front amenities were great, only thing missing was the canoe that was in the listing. The kayaks were really nice and easy to get to. A great place to relax, I recommend it.

Such a pleasant stay at this cozy little lakefront cottage. Enjoyed the quiet, peaceful days and especially the evenings on the decks and dock with firepit. The neighbors were very friendly as well and we enjoyed conversing with them.

Great Stay!
The property was very nice and clean. We had a small issue, but we found the property manager’s phone number in a binder and she responded to us immediately and had the issue resolved within half an hour. I would absolutely rent this Vrbo again and my family that was staying with me is also considering renting it.

The place to stay in Decatur
What a charming and relaxing place to stay in Decatur, IL. My family of six stayed here during a weekend soccer tournament and it had more then what we needed/expected. We were able to relax on the lake and play family board games during the crazy. Communication was outstanding and we will definitely stay here again when in town. Way better then any hotel.

Great family trip
We stayed at the house with my parents and young son. It was a lovely get away from the pace and noise of the city to take in some peace and quiet on the lake. The house was equipped with everything we needed, and it was simple to grab any additional items or groceries just a few minutes away. Everything was clean and well appointed. Could not ask for more.

Cute Lake Front Cottage
The views of the Lake were outstanding. Cottage was very comfortable with the basement being open to the lake and an added bonus for privacy. We had seven adults staying for a wedding and it was very nice. There was plenty of space for everyone to relax and also to get ready for the wedding. Thanks for a pleasant stay.

Sobre o anfitrião
Anfitrião: Kimberly Nave
My husband Travis and I are both contractors and do it yourself type of people. We love creating as we work and taking the blah to OMG. Our travel style is unique. We love experiencing new things and adventuring but don't enjoy the elbow bumping of high density places. So we create spaces that we would want to be ourselves. A place that we can connect with family and friends, rejuvenate from busy schedules and have ALL of the fun :-) We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade
My husband and I fell in love with the charm of this home and the incredible feeling of peace we get each time we stay. We loved that is was right on the water and was still an attainable price point. The Central Illinois location was also great for us as it makes it easier to do a quick getaway and not make planning an escape such a big deal.
