We live just across the lake and will be easily accessible for anything you need during your stay.

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 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.

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.

The description was perfect and pictures accurate. It was very clean too! We loved the location and being able to bring our boat and have the dock to pull right up to. The beds were comfy. We cooked a full meal and had everything we needed. This is definitely a hidden gem on Lake Decatur! We hope to return soon!

Stayed at this Decatur IL Lake Front cabin/home and it was perfect. All the comforts of home with a Rustic Lake cabin feel. Great area to fish, walk, jog or just hand out on the deck or expansive sunroom. Check in and out was a breeze and the wife really liked the place. Just a walk from outdoor Amphitheater where we watched a free pop symphony. All in all, great little place for couple or family with 2-3 kids. Thanks for sharing your property.
