LAKE SHELBYVILLE COTTAGE MINUTES FROM BOATING, HUNTING, AND FISHING, Sleeps 2
The BLACKLOG CORNER COTTAGE is a quaint little cottage that gets its name from an old school that used to sit on this corner way back in the day when kids walked "up hill" both ways to school with no shoes on in the dead of winter...... so that's how the old story goes. It also sits on the old road that went from Shelbyville to Vandalia back in the "dirt road" days. Today the corner's roads are called Co. Road 1000 North and Illinois State highway 128.

The cottage was immaculate and in close proximity to where our family lived who we went to visit. Had fun fishing in the pond on the property. Looking forward to staying at the cottage again!
What a cute place! This is a top 5 VRBO stay for us. We love to fish and the 3 ponds didnt disappoint! The host was more than accommodating and answered us back on all questions. Cozy decor, clean home, quiet country living. Will definitely be back.
The wife and I spend a few days away from the family and had a wonderful time. The cabin was clean, modern looking, and plenty of room for the two of us. We enjoyed bar-b-queuing on the patio and having a place outside of town to relax.
We chose this spot for the fishing ponds. The surroundings were peaceful and ponds a short walk from the cabin.
