Walk too experience the new Devon Amphitheatre when open, Beach house, Children's Museum, Sculpture garden, Decatur Zoo & Train, mini-Golf and flower garden within the Nelson park area. Bring your boat for a weekend on the lake or go swimming off the dock. Take a walk on the bike and walk path to the new 911 memorial. Enjoy the best views on Lake Decatur all while relaxing in our new furniture, new lighting and entertainment system featuring a 4K 65 inch Smart TV and Smart TV's in both bedrooms. Our cottage is fully furnished and is easily accessed. This vista offers a refreshing and stimulating experience that is a much better value for the cost than any other option in central Illinois !! We live just across the lake and will be easily accessible for anything you need during your stay. I do want to caution that the house sits on the top of a bluff with a lot of steps, I wanted to note this for anyone with small children or that are not a fan of a few extra stairs.

Nice quiet neighborhood. Looking over the lake . Host provided more then average of items needed . The sidewalk to the house was a little of a rough climb but would definitely stay there again .

A little charming home across the road from the lake! There were 37 steps up to the front door- so you are able to get your steps in each day! Alexa was able to turn the lights down low while you sit in the dining room and view the lake or chat with your family! The home is well stocked in the kitchen. Plenty of seasoning and dishes! Great little place to stay!

My sister and I brought our families together and had a wonderful time! Thank you to Jason for being so organized and responsive! We had 4 children ranging from 7 years down to 1one year old. The stairs are steep, but we were careful and had no issues. Great location and lovely view!

Just couldn’t have been happier with the location, cleanliness, and amenities! We went to hear cicadas and birds and nature didn’t let us down. Inside the house it was cozy and quiet and the kitchen fully stocked with wonderful cookware. Thanks Jason for being so accommodating!

Loved my Stay in my ole' hometown at this Lake Cabin-style property - - where i grew-up learning how to "Sail on this very Lake" that this property overlooks. I felt 'at home' in this well-appointed property - - so lovely. And, it will be my 1st-Choice of places to stay on my next visit. The Host/propertyOwner was super helpful & wonderfully accommodating - which made my Stay even better!

This cozy cottage on Lake Decatur was perfect for our family of 6 for Thanksgiving. Everything we needed and a beautiful view. Our host suggested we walk west at dusk which was fantastic with the sunset reflected on the lake. There are outdoor stairs which helps the view and privacy but there are quite a few. And bring your own shower/bath supplies.

Everything about this visit was wonderful, from the first communication to the last. The owner was extremely responsive and his home was lovely. We really loved being able to have dinner outside overlooking the lake. We were close proximity to everything. The neighborhood was quiet and we had all the kitchen items we would need to feed a family of four.

I'd recommend this cabin, we stayed with 7 adult men and there was plenty of space. We were here for golf, but having coffee on the dock the next morning was a great vibe. 10/10, super smooth and easy process.

This property was clean and had a great location to where our job was located. This cabin gave our guys an opportunity to cook for themselves and have ample space to stay. The owner is easy to work with and responds quickly.

This was our 4th year staying at Jason's place. The private dock across the street was wonderful for us to swim and launch our own kayaks which we brought. (Jason has one kayak and a canoe for use as well). Communication, cleanliness and location were all great! We are really grateful for such a wonderful place and host!

This was a fun weekend getaway for us. Did a lot of relaxing and it has a big table for board games. Not much yard space for yard games but we had plenty to do.

The property was just as described with all the immensities for our anniversary get away. It is at the end of a street so there was hardly any traffic. There was water sports gear in the garage and 3 great outdoor spots to enjoy a good book and a cup of coffee. Jason was prompt and accommodating. The old cabin has been updated nicely without loosing any of its charm and history.

My husband, daughter, and I stayed here for a few nights after moving her out of her dorm after her first year at Millikin University. It was absolutely perfect! Jason was very prompt in all communication and offered suggestions on things to do in the area. We were able to walk down the road and listen to a concert, fish off the pier, and take the boat out on Lake Decatur as the boat launch was not far from the cottage. We are looking forward to come back next year.

A fantastic spot with easy access to the lake. Perfect for a weekend getaway. There are many spots to lounge outside on the property. Our favorite was by the fire pit. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Description of property was spot on. The steps to property is true! Pack your things in smaller luggage to prepare for the climb. But worth it! Beautiful view of the lake. Great description of tv, sound system and lights are accurate. Close to shopping and restaurants. Nicely stocked kitchen if you choose to cook. I will go back again!

I was born and raised in Decatur, and never have I had such an enjoyable weekend home. Relaxed in a quiet space with my family, and even though it was cold, the view of the lake from the big windows is so serene and relaxing. We will definitely choose this place again for future trips.

My teen and adult kids and I stayed here. They said, "It felt like home." The view is GORGEOUS, the neighborhood is lovely and quiet, the cabin is in walking distance of a beautiful park with a fun restaurant...yet it is close to town if you choose to do touristy things. We were blessed to enjoy an incredible sunrise from the fabulous and large, fully enclosed "back porch," as well as TWO bald eagles "fishing!" We were incredibly comfortable as we relaxed. The kitchen has everything it needs. The bedrooms were nice. The family room with fireplace and ample chairs/couches to relax in was wonderful! Jason was very welcoming, and helpful the one time we needed him to help us re-light the fireplace. My suggestions: Fix the door handle to the bathroom, put a lounge chair and table on the back porch, and put shades on the bathroom and other bedroom windows as well...even though the back of the house is protected by a wood fence and woods. Otherwise, I highly recommend this great cabin getaway! Thank you for a wonderful stay, Jason!

The cabin was cosy and nice. Could have used some more blinds for the windows, better door latch/handles, and they really should mention in the description the amount of stairs you have climb to get to the cabin. The view was excellent and the lake was perfect.

Had a great weekend away with my spouse! Jason was very helpful with suggestions of local places to visit. Gave me some tips and pointers for fishing off the dock. Managed to get a couple bites. House had all the utensils and dishes needed for cooking through the weekend. Could not be more pleased with our visit and will be returning come spring!
