About this property

Imagine a luxurious location with versatile design capabilities that convert to your needs. Offering accommodations and VIP services that provide you with all the comforts of home, and then some.
Experience a private outdoor space to relax poolside, soak in the hot tub, sit by a fire, or take a peaceful stroll through beautiful gardens and lush grounds.

We will communicate with you via messenger and via text for direct bookings.

Shelbyville is a quaint town of 5000 people tucked in Central IL between Chicago and St. Louis, MO. Visit Lake Shelbyville, a reservoir lake with 250 miles of protected shoreline and three awesome marinas with dining and boat rentals. Also, take a tour of the Army Corps of Engineers Visitor Center and Dam and do some fishing on the Kaskaskia River just on the other side of the Dam. We have a beach and recreation area several blocks away as well as a public pool and miles of beautiful wooded bike and walking trails. All of these activities are blocks from our home.

You have access to the entire home. Additional bedrooms will be set up on the main floor for guests exceeding 6. Per head fees apply to have additional beds set up on the main level. Ask your host for details for more than 6 guests up to 10.

Most amenities are accessible by car or bicycle. Uber and Lyft are not available in this area.

The property is private and protected with (Ring) doorbell cameras at each entrance, surveilling the outdoor areas for your safety. To protect your belongings while you're away from the home, we have a noise alarm (Minut) in the home that detects if smoke/fire alarms are sounding and also detects humidity and temperature to ensure the furnaces are working correctly. The noise alarm does NOT record conversations, but merely detects decibels of sounds out of the ordinary.

Family Staycation

Perfect for family visit to Shelbyville

This has was perfect for multiple family members to stay together. We had multiple families - 4 which all had a bedroom. It's in a good location for wherever you need to go in town. We loved having the swimming pool and hot tub. It was great for relaxing after all of us having a busy day. The house had everything we needed - all kitchen items, pool towels, bathroom items. etc. Only thing we should have learned how to turn off the outside lights we went to bed. Everything was great!!!! Will stay again.

Best of the Old and New

This is a stunning historical house, that has clearly been lovingly restored into an outstanding rental house. The whole experience was excellent. The house is easy to find, check in was a breeze, all the amenities you might want are supplied. The host is easy to work with and quick to respond to any questions. The bed is very comfy and the kitchen is fully stocked. This house is close to my best friend, so I am thrilled to have a found a place I can return to often when I'm in the area for a visit.

Girls Hiking and Birthday trip

Gorgeous property with a great location close to town and Lake Shelbyville. Our group of 9 enjoyed the large dual kitchen spaces and grill for making great meals after long hikes at General Dacey Trail. We enjoyed recovery time in the hot tub followed by quiet evenings around the fire pit. The pool was not yet open for the season but looked large and inviting. The bedrooms were just beautifully decorated with great mattresses, quality sheets, pillows and blankets. Three bathrooms made getting ready a breeze and included really lovely towels. The town of Shelbyville was welcoming with cute shops and a must stop is drinks or dinner the the Ville. Our group vowed to book here again next year!

3 Sibling's Trip

Loved the house! The beds were comfy, the couches, not so much. Renee was a great hostess. We spent many happy hours in the pool and the hot tub, although getting in and out of the hot tub was a bit challenging. Would recommend this home to any and everyone.

About the host

Hosted by Renee Tucker

Host profile image
I'm a small business owner specializing in weddings and events. I'm also a florist and have just begun the journey of hospitality management with my vacation home. I love how my businesses all work together. I have four wonderful daughters, two grandsons and lots of granddogs and cats. :) In my free time I love to spend time on Lake Shelbyville wake surfing and boating. I also love to travel and visit other vacation homes.

Why they chose this property

This house is something special. Ever since I moved to the area it has called to me. Sometimes I have to pinch myself to realize I own it. When it became mine it needed some attention. We spent 4 long months updating the important pieces and preserving as much history as possible. This home is a beautiful gem full of history protected by an acre of land in a downtown rural community.

What makes this property unique

This home has the option to convert from three to five bedrooms. On the main floor there are three living spaces, two of which can be converted to private bedrooms with closet space and actual beds. Customize your stay based on your needs. With an in ground heated pool and hot tub that seats 7, this home is great for the whole family. For your convenience we start you with a semi stocked fridge. We have laundry units on the first and second floor, and music streaming in all rooms. There will be no boredom with indoor games, outdoor games, complimentary bike use, and 6 TV's!
