Cozy cabins, private pond
We rented all 3 cabins and had a great vacation here. The cabins are small but very nice, and each has a nice deck and wraparound porch. Private pond to swim whenever we wanted, nicely maintained property, and lots of outdoor fun to be had in the area.

Family get away
Communication with the host was easy and they responded quickly. We had a large group 12 of us using all three cabins. The pond was nice had paddle boards the kids enjoyed those. Did some fishing. Kevin is the dog that lives close and visits daily. He loves to swim and fish. Had a great time! Was even able to see fireworks from the cabin

Perfect family retreat!
We booked entire property for a long weekend. It was absolutely perfect. 12 of us in our group including 6 kids (ranging from 5-16 yo) , 6 adults and 4 dogs. We had plenty of space. The cabins are absolutely adorable, clean and well outfitted with everything you need for a stress-free getaway. We enjoyed paddle boarding and swimming in pond and also took advantage of Lake Of Egypt being 1/2 mile away and rented a boat for the day. It was truly the perfect vacation; the kids loved it, the adults loved it and bonus, getting to bring our beloved dogs along with us. Allison was an excellent host, very attentive and responsive both leading up to our and during our stay. We can’t wait to visit again!
