About this property

NEW property! Lakeside covered hot tub, A-frame 3 King Beds, Shawnee Forest

This Mid Century Modern A Frame is on trend & has been renovated for you to enjoy. You will find it is the one of the most unique places to stay in Southern Illinois. Our three themed bedrooms are super fun. The "Daisy Cottage" on the main level is soft and romantic. The lower level bedroom has the soul of a Bohemian. We call her "The Gypsy Room". The loft, or as we like to call it, "The Crow's Nest" is a walk on the wild side and now is affectionately named the "Jungle" Room. All bedrooms have king sized beds. The lodge has the kitchen, dining room and living room on the main level. Our custom decor will have you falling in love with the inside as much as the outside. This lake side property is equipped with a dock to fish from, covered hot tub and BBQ area. The lakeside fire pit area has a custom totem pole, carved with wildlife from our area. Our property sits next to Shawnee National Forest, Trails of Tears State Forest and LaRue Pine Hill, which has thousands of acres for exploring. Our lower level game room has a retro design perfect for hanging with your friends. Feel free to spin our vintage records, play games, have a cup of coffee while watching the fish play. We have bass, bluegill, catfish and crappie. We have wild life including hoot owls, deer, and the occasional bald eagle. Southern Illinois is a great location for birdwatching. The Shawnee Hills Wine Trail is a hop, skip and a jump away. Margie B's Mid Mod Lake Lodge was built in 1970. The renter must be at least 25 years of age. Safety features include: security camera facing driveway, first kit, fire extinguisher, lighted outdoor areas. Please read our rental agreement prior to booking.

Amazing place to stay. Nice and quiet. My wife and I absolutely loved this place. It was perfect. Hot tub was huge. The bed we slept in was sweet. Highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to get away for a few days. We plan on trying to stay here the next time we visit this area. Cape Girardeau is just across the river and has an abundance of places to eat.

You’re probably going to get a lot of new inquiries from us spreading the word and we can’t wait to come back! Thank you, loved the retro fun stuff, well done!!!

Host was excellent! I had flowers sent to the lodge for my girlfriend and they were handled with care. We were greeted by the most affectionate, cutest kitten (Hers-berry). Place was lovely and there was a book for us explaining the history of the family and property. We had an amazing stay. Would definitely come back again!

I can not say enough good things about this property! We were all completely blown away. The location is amazing. Close to everything but still set up and away. It felt like a private oasis truly. The whole inside is decorated in a funky and yet still homey way. I would move in tomorrow if I could. The host was incredible and even checked in on us the first cold night to make sure we had access to heat. It was a perfect weekend and we will for sure be booking the next time we are in town.

Amazing private space! We loved the decor and the little details. The guest info book was very helpful and interesting. We spent the mornings on the deck looking at birds and squirrels. A flock of wild turkeys walked past the cabin. Stars were super bright at night with dark skies. This place is the perfect little escape! Thank you!

I grew up here!

Attending family reunion in the Trail of Tears State Forest which was very close by. I grew up only a few miles from there too. BEAUTIFUL location and lots of room! Can't think of any amenities that it did NOT have! Owners were close and very nice people. I hope to stay there again!

Overall a lovely property, but with some quirks! The cabin is darling, the lake & dock are super relaxing (great for bird-watching!), and the fire pit is fantastic. It’s a remote location with just their family members who live on the property, so it’s very quiet & cozy. The hot tub is a wonderful perk. However, there was what looked to be a camera on the outdoor shed near the hot tub, which is not disclosed on the property details page (a VRBO policy). It faces the front door, and I’m not sure if you can see the hot tub on it or not. The owner drove up to greet us the second we arrived, which took away a bit from the feeling of being in a remote, private cabin in the woods, and made us feel like we were being watched right off the bat. You are in a remote location so bugs & mice are definitely to be expected & we understand that, but there was fresh mouse poop in the silverware drawer that wasn’t there the night before, so we refrained from using their dishes the rest of the weekend. We let the owner know right away (she’s very quick to respond which was great, and she did apologize & let us know their regular pest control person had just done routine maintenance, but no offer of bringing over disposable dish ware or cutlery to get us through the weekend). There’s also a LOT of rules; I stay in VRBOs often, and I’ve never seen so many rules. Once you make your reservation, the “rental agreement” you have to sign has 54 rules listed out.

This was a great space with multiple places to hang out and fun decorated bedrooms. Kinda tucked away but perfect for what we needed- we had a work retreat and barely left the property the whole time and were very comfortable! They put a lot of love and details into the renovation.
