Great fall getaway!
We booked our stay over our kids fall break. The colors were amazing! We were impressed with the home and the setting on the water. The grounds are kept up well and it is a quiet neighborhood. The home had everything we needed! Close by there is a biking park that we biked to and mostly hiked. We had it to ourselves and it was beautiful scenery and well maintained. The town of Marshall is small, but we did not book it for shopping or town, but we enjoyed getting pizza delivered and visiting their coffee shop. The central location of this property is great, many state parks within driving distance. We enjoyed our stay very much! Highly recommend!

Beautiful Lake Home
The home was spacious, updated, private. Nice size bedrooms, large bathrooms, huge gathering areas. We loved the lake the most- pristine water, privacy, fun spaces to entertain or just lounge by the water. My friends all gave me 5 stars for finding this place. One of the best we've stayed at over the past 5+ years. Owner was great too- very accommodating, responsive. Took a fun visit to nearby Casey, IL (about 15-20 Mins) and saw all the BIG things they have in town. Thank you for a nice vacation!!

Beautiful Family Getaway
We really enjoyed our stay at this Mill Creek home. The home is beautiful, spacious, clean and comfortable. The child-friendly basement was perfect for our two grandchildren (ages 2 & 3). The location is beautiful and quiet. TJ was quick to respond and meet all of our needs. We wish we had been there long enough to take advantage of all the property had to offer. We would definitely recommend this beautiful home.

Excellent place for a family get away
Overall excellent location, home, etc. Would recommend to any family trying to get away for a long weekend. Only critic of the property was a few areas of cleanliness. The ice maker was a bit dirty as was the fridge down stairs. Other than that, great spot and excellent host.

Celebrating a birthday and Christmas with family
We are a family of 7 adults and an infant that stayed for two nights to celebrate a birthday and Christmas together. TJ was a very attentive host that responded quickly to any messages. We loved how open and spacious it was. We took advantage of the beautiful Christmas decorations by taking some family photos. It was definitely a very enjoyable stay.

Perfect getaway!
What an awesome place to get away from it all, relax and have fun with friends! Gorgeous lake and the trees this time of year we’re beautiful. The house has everything you need/want for a great vacation. We cooked and grilled out, had a bonfire, enjoyed the hot tub, and the tiki bar and dock were perfect for our group of 8. We highly recommend this property and plan on coming back!!!

Fantastic lake house vacation!
Our family loved staying at this beautiful lake home on Mill Creek. The house is just lovely and the property so peaceful. We found everything we could have possibly needed in the house and much more! We stayed Sunday thru Friday and lake was never crowded. The dock area and tiki bar are amazing! We enjoyed boating and swimming every day, seeing deer every morning, and listening to owls in the evening. The hot tub was the perfect way to wind down at night and a great place to gaze up at the star-filled sky. Everyone in our group was really impressed with this home. Thank you T.J. and family for sharing it with us!

We were really the first ones to stay for the summer season. The house was wonderful! The dock was a beautiful place to hang out. Since we were the first ones the tiki hut wasn't really ready to go quite yet but TJ called Bryan his handy man and he got right on it! Everything was wonderful and we had a great time.
