Getaway weekend
Is located about 35 minutes from Marion and 45 from Carbondale. A small town with Walmart and others businesses is about 10 minutes away. The residence is an older house that has been very well maintained and is super clean. The hostess was very helpful with everything. There are seats out front and a large deck, with a covered area, on the back porch that overlooks a large pond. There is only one residence that can be seen from this one and we never saw anyone around it. This is a great place to stay and relax. Will be looking forward to going back and staying in the future.

We’ll be back!
The deck is amazing, the view from the deck is even better 😍. The paddle boats were fun and the lake is nice and big. We caught a few fish in it too. Suzzie is a wonderful host and was very quick to respond from the start. We visited in March (obviously a chillier time of year in Illinois) and it was worth it. I can’t wait to go back!

Feels like your family cabin!
We loved this cabin! It felt like going to a our old family cabin! Really enjoyed fishing on the paddleboat! Many fiesty fish to catch! Kitchen is fully stocked to be able to make anything! I couldn't stop watching the baby barn swallows on the porch or the cute new goose family! We hope to make it back soon! You will not regret coming, we got lucky enough to be here during the strawberry moon!!
