About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Best location! Next door to full service marina and bar/restaurant.

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.

Great lakefront lot
The place was very clean and had everything we needed. The hot tub was heated and ready to go when we arrived. The host was very accommodating and responded quickly. The lakefront lot is very flat all the way down to the water. We would definitely stay here again.

Good House, Poor Communication, Hot tub not working
Overall house was great but i cant give the property a great review bc of poor communication of owner and his apparent lack of care when we had an issue. I had contacted the owner before booking to make sure the hot tub was working, after reading some reviews that they had issues. I would be paying $300 more for the weekend to stay in his house vs a very similar one on the same lake d/t this one having a hot tub(as that was important to us). He said it was. He even sent me a message the day we were checking in saying that the hot tub would be ready for us on arrival. When we got there, it was not hot. We were disappointed after wanting to get in after a long day of hiking. My husband followed the electrical conduit and realized the breaker had flipped so he flipped it back, which turned it back on but it didnt heat up until the next evening. I notified the owner that it was in fact not hot, and he literally never replied to my message. Not even an apology. Honestly, we thought he should refund some of our money but would have been happy with even a simple apology. Nothing!

Amazing house!!!!
We stayed the weekend of October 21st and lucked out totally with super warm weather for our group of 4 celebrating birthdays. We really enjoyed fishing off the dock and hanging out by the fire. The house was SUPER clean! We ordered takeout from the Mexican restaurant that was walking distance next door at the marina, and it was very good food with large portions. Enjoyed the wine trail that was super close to the house too. Overall, we all give thumbs up and can't wait to come back.

Shawnee get away
This home provides good rest and relaxation. The hot tub was especially appreciated after hiking the nearby trails in Shawnee. The beds and kitchen were all that we needed to recharge for the next day of exploring. Owner indicated he doesn’t provide check-in information until 1 hour prior when I reached him by phone 4 hours prior since I had not heard anything since notified of instant booking. There were no problems. This is just a heads up if you are a planner like me.
