July 2024 Family Vaca

This is our fourth summer staying at The Nest. Obviously, we love coming back year after year. The house suits our large family very well, we love the little beach and the boat dock is really great. All our grandchildren can find something to do with the extra games and toys and books all around. This year the yard was the location for family photos! Thank you!!

Fun For All Ages!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Nest. We were celebrating my parent's 60th wedding anniversary and had 21 guests ranging from 9 months to 84 years old. There is an abundance of activities for all age ranges to enjoy. My 84 year old father even gave the tree swing a try! The weather was perfect for enjoying the beach and the younger kids loved all of the beach toys on hand. There seriously is no shortage of anything from kid-friendly toys to adult games. The house was clean and well appointed with an extremely well-stocked kitchen. We loved all of the outdoor seating areas and multiple decks. We had a blast and the host was incredibly accommodating, answering every question in an extremely timely manner. We would highly recommend this property!

Great home for relaxing and enjoying the water

This place was great for an out of way, relaxing vacation. They absolutely have EVERYTHING available that one could need. Outdoor grill, coffee makers, canoes you can use. There’s table tennis, life jackets. The small private beach is perfect for kids or adults to just relax and play in the water. Do note, that to get to the Walmart or other larger stores is like a 30 min drive and best to do it in the daytime, as most of the small roads that u will take are not lit.

Property was well maintained. The place can accommodate infants to adults.

Once we arrived there was something foot everyone. The property had choices an enjoyable beach, dock for pontoon, swings and hammock, fire pit, yard to play ball and hoop for basketball. We enjoyed it all. The kitchen accommodation was amazing for our group. The porches were roomy. I believe at least three balls went down into the tree slop perhaps into to lake. The toilet positions were interesting a couple of them wouldn’t allow the door to close when sitting.

Great Weekend with Extended Family

Our extended family loved this property. We have stayed in several VRBO's in Southern Illinois, and this by far has been the best one. The kitchen was well stocked. Having beach toys and beach towels, as well as adult outside games was an extra bonus. We LOVED this property, the property managers were accommodating and easy to work with. We will definitely be back.

Great for families

The Nest was a perfect get away for our families. The private beach provided a safe and great way for everyone of all ages to enjoy the weather and water. The home provided more than amble seating for dinning and relaxing both inside and out. The description of the home was very accurate to what the home provided. We were able to rent a boat through Stay N Awake rentals that allowed us a boat to be docked at the house all week and was well worth it. We would highly recommend the Nest for any large family gathering.

Perfect for a group retreat

We were very happy with our stay here! Crystal quickly responded to each question I had during our visit. We loved all of the gathering spaces - for shared meals and outside group meetings. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds were comfy. Lots of seating around the fire pit and lovely hammocks. We saw amazing birds and even shooting stars! We would highly recommend it.
