You'll find snorkeling, racquetball/squash, and more on site at this family-friendly cottage. Thanks to the convenient onsite parking, you can either leave your vehicle behind and enjoy a short 5-minute walk to Shawnee National Forest, or easily tackle the 15-minute drive to Giant City State Park.

After you return, you can unwind by the outdoor pool or sip a drink on the patio; you may also like the BBQ grill. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at table tennis, or enjoy the free WiFi, TV, and video-game console.

A fireplace, air conditioning, and a desk are featured at this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom rental. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a dishwasher, as well as an ice maker, a microwave, and cookware. And there's a washing machine, so you can even pack a bit lighter.
