"Very nice staff"

"Overnight stay 8/1/25 while traveling through Illinois. I found very satisfactory. I would recommend it for a clean, quiet, affordable place to stay."

"This cabin was everything we wanted in our little getaway. It's very private and wooded. There's a full kitchen and a firepit outside, plus laundry, a fireplace, and smart TVs. The bed was SO comfy, it has me thinking about replacing my mattress! Because it's seculded, you have to drive 10-20 minutes to have some options for food and groceries. That wasn't an issue for us, though! Everything was very clean and communication was clear the whole time. Carlyle lake is 15-20 minutes away, depending on what beach you go to. Our 85-lb pup loved it as well. He tried to befriend a cat that came out of the woods, got to smell lots of new smells, and loved the cozy couch inside. There are poo bags available and hangers for leashes/keys! They really thought of everything here. We will absolutely be coming back!"

"Great little place to stay. It is an older hotel but the staff were excellent and the room was clean. Breakfast was great and the staff kept it refreshed. "

"Fast, efficient and friendly check in. Clean place. Max's Diner next door has some good and cheap grub. "

"Clean and kind staff!"

"Very friendly staff and a pleasant experience all around"

"Our only regret was that our trip was so short! Check in and check out was seamless. The house was very clean. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the equipment one might need. We enjoyed the quiet and seclusion of the location. Having access to a private lake was a very special thing. My husband and son enjoyed kayaking and using the pedal boat and I loved the screened in deck where I could take it all in and read a book. The fish in the lake were active and we saw some interesting birds and deer. I didn't get the chance to use the grill, but it looked sweet! We loved being able to travel with our dog and it was amazing that the property had a high quality dog bed available. He enjoyed walking around the property, playing down by the lake and being able to look out of all of the windows! The living area was very comfortable and we enjoyed watching movies together on the big screen TV after a day in the sun. The beds were very comfortable and the bedding was nice. We were only at the property for two nights, but it was so nice that it ranks right up there with some of our longer vacations. 10/10 would recommend! "
