About this property

This lakefront property has a lot to offer! We are the perfect spot for your family weekend getaway, fishing trip with your buddies, or your week-long summer vacation. This property is within walking distance to Mack's Marina, the only full-service marina with a bar and restaurant (The Cross-Eyed Bear) on the water. They also offer pontoon rentals to complete your lake stay! Please visit macksmarina.com to reserve your pontoon.

This property has 3 bedrooms, 2 queen and 1 full size beds, 2 full bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, spacious living room with a Roku TV and short walk down the back yard to a new single covered boat dock with additional boat parking available!

We have a 6-person hot tub on the back patio and a fire pit in the back yard. (Firewood is available) Perfect for roasting hotdogs and making s'mores!

Kayaking is allowed, however we do not provide kayaks. If you like to swim, you can enjoy the 10ft deep water right off our dock.

We are in the heart of wine country with plenty of wineries to visit along the Shawnee Wine Trail. You can enjoy hiking, fishing, zip lining and so much more, all nearby!

We are also one of the few properties available to rent on the north side of the lake. That means that we have the best access to interstate 57 (4 minutes) and 10 minutes to downtown Marion. We are also 2 minutes from a Dollar General. Making it easy to grab anything extra that you might need for your stay.

Please message if you have any further questions! We look forward to having you!

Awesome weekend on the lake

Location is awesome being right next door to the marina and having a nice dock was a huge plus too. Hot tub was nice. Fishing was a little screwed up due to the huge rain they had a few days before but we still caught several bluegill, crappie, and a few bass. Watersports and swimming was great in this lake. Only complaint about the house is that the bedroom with the sliding glass door stays about 5-10 degrees warmer than the rest of the house. One of our days we went to Ferne Clyffe State Park which is an awesome place to check out about 20 minutes away. Overall great trip!

Hidden Gem!

This house is fairly priced compared to most nearby. It's lake front and has two docks, one with a swim ladder and the other is covered. The location is on a quiet cove, but only a few minutes idling away from the main channel. We liked being right nextdoor to Macks Marina for ease of launching and parking at the house dock. Inside the house is tastefully decorated and fully livable. All three bedrooms are on the second floor along with a bathroom. The lower level of the house has a living room, dining, eat in bar, kitchen, laundry and full restroom. We enjoyed sitting outside and grilling while our teens swam. The only thing I would like to see the owners change is the size of the three beds. They're all queens or maybe fulls. The bedrooms are big enough to have kings or add bunks. The teen boys ended up using the floor and a couch because they were too big to share the small beds. I would definitely rent again for my family of six, but we'd bring air mattresses.
