It was a nice trip. Unfortunately I didn't get to spend much time there due to one of my sons having car trouble. I would stay again though.

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!

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.

We had a blast and the owner was so easy to work with. The house is clean and well stocked. Beds and couches were comfortable. There are multiple washer and dryers. The property was fantastic. We were worried about bugs before getting to the outside pond, but we never got bit once! The pond is treated and dock is sturdy. I would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Nice and quiet place to stay that felt far enough away/ secluded but also convenient to anything we needed. Quick trip to the wine trails. We all enjoyed our weekend!

Our host, Tom, is amazing. He is very helpful and responsive to requests. We found the rustic cabin to be charming and met our needs. We love the layout of the house and to have your own private pond with a beach is the best! The cabin is in the woods with insects and poison ivy near by, welcome to nature! It is next to the beach, there will be sand. The house provides essentials like laundry detergent, salt, pepper, cooking oil, and condiments. It could use a deep clean and dusting, however, the bathrooms, kitchen, bedrooms, bedding, and living areas were just fine and adds to the rustic feel. We would definitely go back again.

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!

Went to pick up our daughter from SIU and enjoyed the water and private beach. Kids had fun on the zip line and our dogged loved playing in the water.

We were in the area for a wedding and needed a place that could hold a medium sized group of people. This place did not disappoint! Tom was great with communication and was very helpful.

The cabin itself has a nice layout with a quaint view and big beautiful windows. Unfortunately there is no hot tub as was in the listing, the pinball machines require quarters and overall the space is no well kept or stocked.
We are a family of four and had one other family stay with us, but we didn’t have enough sheets, blankets or pillows.
The location is great with an easy drive to giant city.

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.

You are definitely paying for the outdoor experience here. The pond was incredible, as was the beach. The kids, dogs, and adults all enjoyed it equally. Luckily, the weather was beautiful so we did not spend much time inside. Thank you Tom!

We were there long enough to shower, sleep and leave. Only 1 pinball machine worked while there; coins stuck in others. Communication was not the best, but worked it out in the end.

Pictures of property are outdated. One TV in house in main living area none in bedrooms, pool table is torn and pool cues are broken and don’t have felt tips. The fridge is not the stainless steel one pictured. Ceiling fans haven’t been dusted in years and there’s mold from multiple water leaks in home. Tom is a good guy and was responsive when we contacted him but the property overall needs a deep cleaning and updating.

There were 10 of us for a weekend winery getaway. The weather was chilly so we didn't use the lake but enjoyed the view and got some nice outdoor family photos. The cabin was within 6 miles to several wineries. In the evenings we enjoyed hanging out in the open kitchen/living room area.
We had read that we should bring quarters for the pinball machines. There are 4 machines, but only one of them worked. That was really the only bummer.
We would recommend this place to any groups wanting to spend time together!

As soon as we arrived, we could tell the pictures online didn't depict the present state of the place. Quite grown up with poison ivy growing out of the steps, vines and weeds growing up the balcony, an old pontoon boat washed up on the side of the pond that looked like a shipwreck. The kitchen floor was filled with dog hair. We actually filled a dustpan full. Wiring exposed in the basement and extremely outdated furniture. There were 4 pinball machines and none worked. The zipline was very dangerous and wouldn't advise using. Those were both selling points for me booking the place. Never saw a fountain like is pictured in the pond. Overall we were very disappointed.
