Our family (6 adults) enjoyed the holiday together. The space was adequate for what we needed, as were the sleeping arrangements.

The views of the Lake were outstanding. Cottage was very comfortable with the basement being open to the lake and an added bonus for privacy. We had seven adults staying for a wedding and it was very nice. There was plenty of space for everyone to relax and also to get ready for the wedding. Thanks for a pleasant stay.

Beautiful cottage with high end finishes, very cozy and comfy. Great layout for private sleeping spaces. The downstairs is gorgeous with outdoor access to a lovely covered patio. The deck upstairs has a great table and high end grill. We thoroughly enjoyed the peaceful views of the lake with pelicans, sunrises. The owner is available to answer questions during the stay and is very accommodating. Couldn't ask for more!!

This house was rented in addition to another lake house in walking distance for my 70th birthday. My grandchildren stayed at this house. Other than some minor things everything was great, but response time from owner or management was good.

Stayed for a work event taking place in Decatur. Was a very quiet, clean, relaxing place to unwind at the end of the day. Will try to stay here again for future trips to Decatur.

What a charming and relaxing place to stay in Decatur, IL. My family of six stayed here during a weekend soccer tournament and it had more then what we needed/expected. We were able to relax on the lake and play family board games during the crazy. Communication was outstanding and we will definitely stay here again when in town. Way better then any hotel.
