Mary W. Oct 19, 2025 05:14:10 AM
Summary: Beautiful house and lake setting. Close enough to town to pickup supplies or go out to eat. Gas grill on deck worked great. Our family reunion worked well there. It was a good central location for those living in different areas of Illinois. 3 very nice bathrooms and 4 bedrooms. Plenty of space to spread out and do your own thing if desired. We did not have time to use the hot tub or game table. Kitchen big enough to cook most of our meals together. We really enjoyed our time there. Nothing bad to say. Would definitely recommend

Summary: Was very nice, easy to locate, clean, spacious....hot tub was not working which was disappointing and boat dock needs work and new lumber. Overall it was a very nice place to stay!
Jill T. Aug 16, 2025 09:09:31 PM
Summary: Tranquil Waters Retreat was perfect for our two-family getaway! The home is beautifully decorated, spotless, and stocked with everything we needed. We loved the bonus game room with ping pong and board games, and there was plenty of indoor and outdoor space for everyone to relax. The lake views were gorgeous and made our stay so peaceful. Truly an ideal spot for making memories—we’d definitely come back!

Summary: It would be better if the tv in the guest bedroom worked. We were never able to get it to stay on.
