About the host
Hosted by Southern Illinois Vacation Rentals
This property is managed by Southern Illinois Vacation Rentals, a veteran-owned, woman-owned business. Allison, owner of SIVR, is an SIUC alumna and has a deep love for the hospitality industry and showcasing beautiful southern Illinois.
Why they chose this property
We purchased this property after 9 years of lake living on Lake of Egypt. As much as we enjoyed our lakefront home, we were ready to trade in our waterfront for acreage to raise our growing family.
What makes this property unique
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to stay in a micro cabin or tiny house? Our cabins are considered "large" tiny homes at 560 square feet- making them fun, but very roomy and comfortable. We love the modern appeal and designed them with our young- and young at heart- travelers in mind. They feature warm wood elements with soft white shiplap and plenty of natural light.
