Indoor Heated Pool pontoon boat fish 3 full baths sleeps 17 in beds 2026 SALE!!!

10/10 Excellent

"We loved this vacation spot. The private lake was so tranquil and the indoor pool was perfect for all ages. Everyone slept soundly in their own beds and we had meals as a family around the extra large kitchen table. We also enjoyed movie night with popcorn around the huge tv. Our host provided great directions to assist in finding the home and came over to show us how to use the pontoon boat and pool. My son-in-law even caught a 7lb 11oz catfish. It was huge! We typically only visit a vacation home once, but this vacation home is on our list to visit again."

10/10 Excellent

"We loved how secluded the area was. The beds were soooo comfortable! The screened in porch was amazing to sit on and not get bothered by bugs. I think our favorite part was the fishing and the paddle boat. We caught a lot of fish which kept the kids occupied and happy. Definitely a 10/10, and will be back. Thank you"

Copperfield of Centralia - Unit 1 - Centralia, IL

10/10 Excellent

"Check-in info was detailed and accurate. No issues at all. The space was so homey and welcoming. And James really was a God send. Coordinating for all my sisters coming from 3 different states on such a short notice for a loved one's funeral was difficult, but James was so accommodating and understanding no matter how many times I reached out to him to alter my reservation. "
