My family had a wonderful little getaway! The cabin was very cozy and quaint, just perfect! We also appreciated the coffee and condiments in the fridge as a courtesy. It was very windy weather when we visited, so we did not end up using the paddle boat or kayaks. However, my kids loved the floating raft off the dock and we all enjoyed the hot tub! Perfect location in Southern IL and would most definitely stay at a property of Kris’ and her husband’s in the future!!

Perfect place for a fun and relaxing weekend!

My husband and I had a great time at this little cabin! It made for a very relaxing weekend together. The location is perfect and in a very quiet area. We enjoyed watching the deer while eating breakfast! We also had fun with the paddle boats and canoe. There are some great places to eat close by in Marion, but the cabin was also very well equipped for us to just make most of our meals right there.

This property was adorable and we would love to return in the near future. We met the owners who live across the street and they are very friendly, all their properties in the area look just as nice - well maintained and rustic. Easy access to lake for canoeing/kayaking too. We love this area but we came to town specifically for Vulture Fest which was disappointing/not what we expected so it was nice to have this little retreat.

Holiday weekend

Always great to be on this lake on July 4th. Cabin had everything we needed to enjoy our long weekend. I was disappointed in not being able to tie our boat onto the dock, but appreciated the use of the paddleboards and kayaks. Access to the dock was a hike!

A sweet getaway with a homey feel

The property is off the lake but has access within 100 ft with a canoe, paddle boat, paddle boards, and even a stargazing deck. The owners are responsive, kind, and neighborly- they even brought over coffee filters and maple syrup! We loved staying here, and the cabin has tons of little touches that make it memorable, homey, and lux all at the same time. I’d suggest the red roof retreat to a couple of a couple with one or two kids for an outdoor/indoor getaway!

Lovely retreat

The cabin is adorable and just the right size for 1 - 4 people (if at least 2 are kids). Very clean. This trip was just me but I plan to bring my two kids with me next time. The master bed is comfortable. Access to the doc, canoe, paddle boats, etc is simple and even though it is shared, pretty private, too. Day tripping around the area was amazing. There is so much to see and the landscape is beautiful.

Enjoyed our stay! Will be back again.

We had a wonderful stay with Red Roof Retreats! The home was cozy and warm, perfect for a cold winter weekend getaway. We visited right before the holidays and the cabin was full of Christmas decorations, which we enjoyed. We were able to cook, watch movies, and relax, and the location was great - just a short walk to the lake and a short drive to Fern Clyffe State Park. Our host communicated with us during our stay and helped us feel welcome. We loved the welcome basket and recommendations of things to do in the area, and small touches like cold beer mugs in the freezer. Only word of caution would be for taller and larger folks, the twin loft beds are pretty short and you may have a hard time with the loft ceilings. For us, it was perfect, and we will be back again!

The Red Roof Retreat was just that...a retreat!

I actually wanted to book a larger cabin but boy am I glad I choose the Red Roof Retreat, it was perfect! Accommodated 4 adults perfectly. We wanted for nothing. It was so clean and tidy we felt right at home and owners answered questions immediately even though they were on their own vacation! Fishing was awesome and the lake is beautiful. The cabin is so charming and full of character, now that I'm home I miss it! The visitor comments left in the cabin were helpful too, suggestions for places to visit and where to eat. I'd like to tell my friends about the Red Roof Retreat, but the less people know about this hidden gem...the better! More weekends for me! If you stay here you MUST go zip lining at Shawnee Bluff Zip Tours. Rented a pontoon from Mack's Marina, super friendly and great daily rate.

Getaway from Life

Switched jobs in March and have been STRESSED ever since. Finally found a couple days we could getaway from life on our anniversary...landed at this cute cabin. The loft beds were tricky to get to so our son camped out on the hide-a-bed but it was perfect. We loved the space. We weren't there a ton as we were out hiking at local state parks and the national forest. We had fires the 2 nights we were there. It was exactly what we needed. The hosts were super easy to get ahold of and very responsive. In fact, I had mentioned we were getting away for our anniversary and when we arrived, there was an anniversary card and cupcakes in the fridge for us. Very thoughtful and kind that Kris & Matt would go out of their way to treat us. Thank you again for the relaxation and memories.
