Super accommodations!!

This was probably the best house I have rented. There were plenty of beds and rooms. The kitchen was stocked amazingly! We cooked all our meals-including a Thanksgiving dinner! The bathrooms had all the things you may have forgotten to bring. The dock was fun to fish from. Just a super wonderful house. The hosts were very responsive with all my questions, and information I didn’t know I needed! Highly recommended!!

Great weekend friend trip

Me and my friends stayed here for 3 nights and loved the house. The easy access to the lake was great. The pontoon boat available to rent is well worth the money as it is a very nice and newer boat. House was clean and much larger than it looks in the photos. Will definitely consider staying here again for our next lakehouse trip!

AGD Reunion

This property had everything we could ever need and much more. The hosts were incredibly generous with extras in the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, etc. There is so much space inside and out that our large group had plenty of room to gather together or break off on our own. And we would highly recommend renting the pontoon boat. What a great way to spend the day. We will definitely be back again!

Wonderful house

This is our second year in a row staying at the lake house for our annual girls trip. Group of 13 women mid 30s to mid 40s. We love this house. We love working with the owners. They provide so much more than any rental we’ve ever stayed at has. Highly recommend this house for your next large gathering.

Sans one Family Reunion

18 cousins gathered for a reunion with our 93 year old aunt for the first time in over two decades. Although only eight people stayed at the house, it was the perfect gathering spot for our large group. The deck, the dock, inside, outside - so much room to visit in small or large groups. And all the special extras Kenn and Wendy provided were above and beyond. They were attentive, responsive, and had gone the extra mile to make sure we had everything we could possibly need. We’re coming back again next year. I highly recommend this Lake House. It is 10+ + + +!

Celebrate Grandpa's birthday

The house was amazing, with beautiful views, and plenty for space for 7 grandchildren and 8 adults. The cooking and bathroom supplies were greatly appreciated. ☺️ The location was perfect for the children's zoo and museum with having 7 children 5 and under. The kids loved running around in the grass, some canoed with dad, playing the games, eating outside, and seeing the geese, ducks, and the boats. They all want to go back again so we can take the big boat. Thank you so much for the use of your beautiful home to celebrate my husband's 75th birthday with all our children and grandchildren.

No complaints. Fantastic place.

This was our second time at this property. It was clean, amenities were plentiful, and we had a great time. I cannot recommend this listing enough. It was perfect for a large group with children. Communication with the hosts is always great as well. All in all, another 10/10 stay.

An Incredible Home in the Perfect Location

Ken and Wendy have made their property into the perfect Vrbo. The locale is great- the lake is gorgeous to gaze upon, Decatur is barely a two-hour drive from nearby St. Louis, and the setup of the house is AMAZING for big groups of friends/families. All the bedrooms are upstairs, which is perfect for those who want to sleep in, and all the living and recreation spaces are downstairs, so people can always keep the fun and games going. Additionally, something I cannot understate is how fun the hot tub was- especially since it was right next to the kitchen and dry bar. Amenity-wise- Ken and Wendy have stocked the home with absolutely everything you could possibly need. We found every bathroom item we could possibly need, as well as a stocked first-aid kit and TONS of towels. Wi-fi information is all over the place (which stops your pesky friends from constantly asking about it) and TVs are in every room, making sure that everyone (especially the kids) can stay entertained and relaxed. There's plenty of parking space, and the patio in the back is nothing if not picturesque. Finally- the communication and understanding shown by Ken and Wendy as hosts was nothing short of perfect. They were on top of things with punctuality and empathy. I have never said that a vacation rental was perfect, but I will be breaking that streak here. This home was truly the perfect location for the perfect weekend. I heartily recommend it for anyone looking, and I hope to stay here again.

Decatur is the half way point for us that live in a southwest suburb of Chicago and our Family from St. Louis… this house was perfect!! Great sized bedrooms, plenty of communal space, and such a beautiful view! Hosts were excellent to communicate with and even had a welcome bag with some goodies waiting for us!

Couldn't Have Been Better!

Ken and Wendy have clearly been hosts for a long time as they have perfected their role to a science. We had nine friends staying at this property for four nights. These friends had/have careers traveling internationally, some live overseas now. we have all broad experience staying in a variety of hosted properties and business hotels. We all to a person could not find anything Ken and Wendy had not already thought of to prepare this property to feel welcoming, comfortable and efficient. From the Welcome Bag they arranged on arrival, to the readily available bathroom sundries, we needed only to fill the pantry and the fridge. Communication with Ken was seamless. He responded quickly and clearly to all my communications prior to our visit. There was never any need to contact him during our stay as all questions had been answered prior to our arrival, and literature posted for guests filled in the rest. My friends and I cannot speak highly enough of Ken and Wendy and this property.

About the host

Hosted by Ken and Wendy Maslana

My Wife, Wendy, and I live in central Illinois and decided to purchase this property so we could enjoy the lake with our families. We love spending time on the water, fishing, boating, skiing and tubing. We also love BBQ and relaxing outdoors. We love to spend time with our family and friends and encourage others to do the same. Which made the decision to extend this amazing opportunity to others and easy one to make!
