About this property

New Lakefront Nature's Way Getaway Lake of Egypt

New lakefront 3 bed, 2 bath home. Large master bedroom has private bath with huge tub. Other 2 bedrooms have own decks. Washer/dryer. Firepit, gas grill.

Large stocked kitchen. Knotty pine sunroom. Beautiful views all around. The sky at night is breathtaking. Near amazing hiking and gorgeous wineries. Spend all day playing in lake & fishing, enjoy sunset on the deck or go antiquing & hiking.

Canoe, 2 Kayaks, Lilypad float and paddleboat included with rental. There is a private dock if you bring your boat with a swimming dock attached. Great fishing off of the dock and we keep fishing poles and a tackle box in your cabin.

Great wineries, hiking and biking nearby! Very close to Ferne Clyffe State Park, Giant City State Park and in the Shawnee National Forest.

We also have other cabins if you have more family wanting to travel with you.

Please no smoking inside the cabin.

We are available to our guests by phone or text.

It's so quiet and all of the neighbors are wonderful. It is a very safe area. Fun to walk around or ride bikes.

There is no public transit to the cabin.

We have a little camp store within walking distance if you want to buy souveniers, sweatshirts or handmade items by local artists.

Have a peaceful magical vacation.

Just as described

We booked Nature's Getaway for a short family vacation and everything at the house was just as described. We had a great time. The home was tidy and offered plenty of things to do. I especially liked that every room in the house had a view of the lake. We had a great stay.

GREAT HOME IN A SECLUDED COVE

Great lakeside home! Looks small from the outside but inside is a surprisingly large but cozy interior, perfectly appointed for quiet relaxation or family game night fun. Very peaceful, secluded cove below the home with a private boat dock. Great owner/caretaker, always in touch if you need anything during your stay. And here's a huge plus: The beds are comfy. That is a deal breaker for a spoiled business traveler like myself. I slept like a log...Highly recommend this home on the lake!

Great cabin on the lake

We stayed here for a long weekend to celebrate a birthday. The cabin was great. The beds were comfortable and the living room, dining room/kitchen was a good size for 4 adults, a kid, and two dogs. The sun room was fantastic and allowed us to enjoy the view of the lake while sipping our morning coffee. The patio was a nice size too. Because we were celebrating a birthday the hosts provided cupcakes and a card which was so nice and appreciated. The cabin came with other snacks and goodies and fire wood and fire starter for the fire pit and supplies for s’mores. We loved that the cabin was on the lake and that it had its own dock with a canoe and paddle boat which we enjoyed using. The only improvement we could see was that the second set of stairs down to the lake could use a hand rail as we had a small child and elderly people in our group. We had a fantastic stay and would rent this cabin again.

Retreat to Nature

A lovely and comfortable property nestled in the hills of Southern Illinois, this rental offers bird and deer watching from all sides. We hiked and visited a winery and thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas week together.

Beautifully stunning and relaxing house and location. Cutely decorated for fall. The knotty pine sunroom was my favorite spot in the house. I didn’t want to leave. I will rent here again!

Spectacular lake getaway even better than pictures

What a delight to stay here! The home is just lovely, appointed with stylish furniture, linens, and decor—pictures truly don’t do it justice! The lake was so much fun, with plenty to do including water toys and fishing, all provided for you! We enjoyed s’mores around the fire pit, and we were an easy drive within several parks for hiking and enjoying the outdoors. Can’t say enough nice things about the hosts, they were prompt to respond and made sure we had everything we needed! We WILL be back. Stay here, you won’t be disappointed!

About the host

Hosted by Kris Shellabarger

Host profile image
We love our own log cabin on the lake so much that we built another one to share with others. Our guests loved the log cabin so much that we built a tiny cabin on the lake, a treehouse and a 3 bedroom, 2 bath lake home to share with guests as well. We spend much of the summer boating, fishing and swimming during the day and sitting around the fire at night. We also love to check out the local farmer's markets and wineries and sometimes hit the antique stores. In the winter, it is so cozy and we love to hike and catch up on a good book.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to buy in Colorado because of the night sky. The Lake of Egypt sky was just the same but much closer to home. On many nights, we can see the milky way. There is not a lot of light pollution and to watch the sky and a bonfire is so much better than anything we could watch on TV!

What makes this property unique

We are directly on the Lake of Egypt and offer a canoe, kayaks, paddleboards and a paddleboat to enjoy. Also there are fishing poles and fun fishing right off the dock. The sky is amazing and our property is at the end of the street and very private.
