A great refuge from the summer heat. The variety of kayaks plus paddle board plus canoe ensured everyone could enjoy the water in the no wake cove. The dock is a major highlight with fans, fish cleaning station, picnic tables and Lilly pad for relaxing or playing. Secluded and quiet, deer came through twice. Plenty of shade and balcony seating to contemplate how good life is. Already looking forward to my next visit. I live local, but this is a perfect place to gather with family and enjoy Southern Illinois.The house had every amenity we needed, comfortable, and you could gather or spread out as you prefer. On a steep slope, so lots of stairs, but the views are worth it.

We booked our stay with teenage boys in mind. My son wished to celebrate his birthday at a lake with friends. This property checked all our boxes and lived up to our expectations. There was plenty of space for all 8 staying. Great cove location for water activities when not out on the boat.

We stayed at the Eagles Nest Chalet with a group of teens as a senior trip celebration. The chalet was perfect. There were plenty of kayaks, and a large lily pad and paddleboard. The guys always had something to do in the water. The house had so much to offer for downtime or when it was raining - board games and such. We loved cooking and eating on the patio. The hosts were AMAZING. Always available for questions and suggesting with ideas on rainy days. We got firewood from them with prompt delivery. I cannot say enough about how amazing our stay was. Top notch! We would definitely stay here again!!

Girls trip to the Chalet

This property was perfect. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and not be crowded. The outdoor space was super comfortable and we loved sitting outside watching all the wildlife. The host even called to check on us when the weather turned bad, he explained the safest place in the house for us to wait out the storm. Will definitely rent this property again.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. The lake access is hard to beat. The driveway was really steep though, and we were nervous about driving the car down. It would be a real problem in icy weather. Outside of that, the house was great. The hosts were very easy to communicate with.
