The Canary at Lake of Egypt

The Canary is a small home with an open floor plan located directly on the Lake of Egypt in Creal Springs, IL. Perfect for a small family or couple’s retreat. Swim safely in the quiet cove with no thru traffic, enjoy morning coffee on the perch or in the spa overlooking the lake surrounded by trees and local wildlife. Many nearby attractions including hiking, fishing, boating, wineries, and much more.

The space
Entire house, keyless entry, free uncovered parking, access to dock and swimming area, paddle boat and 4 kayaks, spa tub. Pontoon boat rental available to qualified renters, although we do not rent it on the major summer holiday weekends (Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day) and boat is in winter storage from November through March depending on weather.
Guest access
Entire house, dock, swimming area, spa tub. Ask owner about free local boat ramp use if needed.
Other things to note
Loft bedroom requires ladder entry

New house has been built next door, not visible in pictures, but does not interfere with spa privacy.
