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.

The perfect location for a family reunion

We had 12 people ages 1-73 and everyone had a great time. The highlight of the property i the private pond and beach. Canoes and a paddle boat are there and we brought lots of floats. The fishing was also good. The game room downstairs was also a hit.

Friends Weekend - Visiting the Wine Trails

This house was perfect for our trip. It is remote, so we weren't worried about playing music on the beautiful deck when we got home after an afternoon of enjoying the Southern Illinois Wine Trail. There were 10 of us total, and everyone reported that the beds were comfy and the bathrooms were clean. I would definitely stay at this location again. The house is beautiful and the scenery even more so.

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!

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.
