Celebrating our Mom's 100th...
My sister and I chose this beautifully appointed lake house to stay while celebrating what would have been our mom's 100th birthday. There was absolutely nothing missing from this house...we had everything we needed and then some! The sunsets over the lake and the beautiful fall foliage make the stay perfect!

Hidden Gem
When we arrived, we were amazed at this hidden gem. The entire place had an inviting vibe, from the bedrooms to the dock. It was beyond comfortable, with several areas to sit and catch up with family. The hosts could not have set this place up any better. We will return next year.

Wonderful lake house!
Having 4 siblings living in Mattoon, this was perfect for us. We stayed in the house and they could come out to visit us. The house is comfortable, nicely decorated and has everything that you need, so well equipped. The fishing was good. The outside seating is nice. Owners are easy to reach with any questions or concerns. This was our 5th time staying in the house. We will return! Thanks Tom and Salisa.

This is our fifth time staying here and as always wonderful. We actually had an emergency and needed to stay longer and the owner Tom worked with us. I highly recommend this beautiful home along with the 2 others he owns on this lake.

Great getaway!
We had a great weekend at the lake. Enjoyed the kayaks and fishing from the dock. House is very comfortable. Lots of amenities such as grill, fire pit, dock, kayaks, nice outdoor seating (and an outdoor tv! We didn’t have time to use that), garage, she shed, etc. Host wanted to meet us at property to show us around which meant we couldn’t be quite as flexible in our timing of arrival as we like to be on vacation. But ultimately we received the door code and were able to arrive at our convenience. We would definitely stay there again!
