This was an amazing cabin to stay at. It came with one adult kayak and 3 kid kayaks which made for a fun time. It had a sandy beach entry that lead into the lake which was highly used! We definitely jumped off the dock more times than we can count. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed and then some. The wildlife was active which included deer, turtles, birds, squirrels, and even a tortoise!The beds and pillows were super comfy (though one was super squeaky) and the sheets were so soft. Thank you so much for a great stay!

We recently stayed here for a week and overall had a wonderful vacation. We would definitely consider renting this property again, especially if we were able to rent both neighboring houses for a larger family gathering with grandparents and cousins.A few things that future guests may find helpful:* The kitchen is stocked and has both a full-size coffee maker as well as a crock pot.* There are both charcoal and gas grills available.* Walmart in Marion delivers groceries, and there’s a Dollar General about 10 minutes away for anything you forget.* The air conditioning worked exceptionally well, even during hot weather.* The beach is stocked with three youth sit-on-top kayaks, one adult sit-on-top kayak, one adult sit-inside kayak, a paddle boat, a large lily pad, plus plenty of paddles and life jackets.*Be sure to ask if there will be any construction going on or large family gatherings in the house next door as that impacts the privacy and usability of the beach and fire pit areas.

About the host

Hosted by Scott Shawmeker

Host profile image
Mary Ann and I retired a few years ago and are now more about enjoying our life and especially our 5 grandbabies.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in my family since 1901. Before there was a lake it was my great Grandfathers farm. The surrounding property and across the lake were a part of the 85 acre property. In 1963-ish, as the lake was being created the farm was parceled out were each of the Adams children received a lot (hence Adams Acres) and the property beneath the lake and across was sold. The cabin is located on my Uncle Denny's lot that briefly was owned outside of the family. We were able to purchase it and build the cabin in exactly the same spot and footprint of his original cabin.

What makes this property unique

The cabin at Adams Acres offers close proximity to the local highways (Interstates 24 & 57 and Illinois routes 37 & 148) are a few minutes away. The home is newer (built in 2016) with the express purpose of being a short stay cabin for people visiting Southern Illinois...including my family. We did our best to insure the place includes the creature comforts of a home with the solitude and privacy of a lakeside cabin. There is a dock, private beach (shared with our home next door), kayaks and peddle boat for recreation. There is also a fire pit down by the water for night time fun.
