Love this place

I have stayed here many times over the last 10 years. The pond in the back is great for swimming, fishing, and canoeing. The back deck overlooks it so you never really feel like you’re disconnected from the rest of the group. I hope to be back next year!

Decent stay but needs TLC done

Overall a pretty decent stay. Would have been better if the moment we got there the porch didn't have piles of clothes on it and the master bedroom didn't leak when it rained.

Cabin trip with friends

We had a blast and the owner was so easy to work with. The house is clean and well stocked. Beds and couches were comfortable. There are multiple washer and dryers. The property was fantastic. We were worried about bugs before getting to the outside pond, but we never got bit once! The pond is treated and dock is sturdy. I would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Nice weekend getaway!

Tom’s cabin is perfect for a group of friends. The grill is great to cook on and there are enough bathrooms for a larger group. The beach is fun to relax on and have a nighttime bonfire. It’s not the most updated or modern, but it has good bones. Overall we would recommend for a friends getaway!

Wonderful Stay

Our host, Tom, is amazing. He is very helpful and responsive to requests. We found the rustic cabin to be charming and met our needs. We love the layout of the house and to have your own private pond with a beach is the best! The cabin is in the woods with insects and poison ivy near by, welcome to nature! It is next to the beach, there will be sand. The house provides essentials like laundry detergent, salt, pepper, cooking oil, and condiments. It could use a deep clean and dusting, however, the bathrooms, kitchen, bedrooms, bedding, and living areas were just fine and adds to the rustic feel. We would definitely go back again.

Decent stay

The cabin itself has a nice layout with a quaint view and big beautiful windows. Unfortunately there is no hot tub as was in the listing, the pinball machines require quarters and overall the space is no well kept or stocked. We are a family of four and had one other family stay with us, but we didn’t have enough sheets, blankets or pillows. The location is great with an easy drive to giant city.

Family wine trip

Great site for our family wine trip. Convenient check in. The turn off for the cabin wasn't marked and quarters are needed for the games in the basement. Note, that it's right across the road from a track and trains went by twice (day and night) while we were there.

You are definitely paying for the outdoor experience here. The pond was incredible, as was the beach. The kids, dogs, and adults all enjoyed it equally. Luckily, the weather was beautiful so we did not spend much time inside. Thank you Tom!

Family Winery Trip

There were 10 of us for a weekend winery getaway. The weather was chilly so we didn't use the lake but enjoyed the view and got some nice outdoor family photos. The cabin was within 6 miles to several wineries. In the evenings we enjoyed hanging out in the open kitchen/living room area. We had read that we should bring quarters for the pinball machines. There are 4 machines, but only one of them worked. That was really the only bummer. We would recommend this place to any groups wanting to spend time together!

Some TLC needed

Pictures of property are outdated. One TV in house in main living area none in bedrooms, pool table is torn and pool cues are broken and don’t have felt tips. The fridge is not the stainless steel one pictured. Ceiling fans haven’t been dusted in years and there’s mold from multiple water leaks in home. Tom is a good guy and was responsive when we contacted him but the property overall needs a deep cleaning and updating.

Core memories formed ❤️

Wow. I was traveling to SIU for a state science fair with my child and a few other other families. 10 of us total stayed in the house. The kids had THE best time on the zip line and canoes while the adults looked on from the spacious deck above. An evening at the fire pit plus a kids area in the basement made for a pleasant time. A true cabin like experience with none of the city slicker frills. It was perfect and the kids loved it. Thank you Tom!
