The lake house was perfect! The kitchen was equipped with all the amenities we needed, and then some! We used the Blackstone multiple times and loved it. The host was very responsive when we had a slight hiccup with the grill which was remedied first thing the next day. The view of the lake was perfect and the dock was perfect for fishing, relaxing, and enjoying dinner. This was top 3 best VRBO properties/host I’ve ever stayed with. Highly recommend!!

This property was very welcoming, clean, and communication with the owners were wonderful and friendly. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet getaway in a lovely lake.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. The lake access is hard to beat. The driveway was really steep though, and we were nervous about driving the car down. It would be a real problem in icy weather. Outside of that, the house was great. The hosts were very easy to communicate with.

A great refuge from the summer heat. The variety of kayaks plus paddle board plus canoe ensured everyone could enjoy the water in the no wake cove. The dock is a major highlight with fans, fish cleaning station, picnic tables and Lilly pad for relaxing or playing. Secluded and quiet, deer came through twice. Plenty of shade and balcony seating to contemplate how good life is. Already looking forward to my next visit. I live local, but this is a perfect place to gather with family and enjoy Southern Illinois.The house had every amenity we needed, comfortable, and you could gather or spread out as you prefer. On a steep slope, so lots of stairs, but the views are worth it.
