Christmas Log Cabin • Hot Tub • Pet Friendly • Fireplace

Make time for a little Christmas coziness at Red Roof Cabin, part of Red Roof Retreats—Lake of Egypt’s Tiny Resort.



During our holiday season, this charming log cabin will be dressed for Christmas. Spend an evening beside the gas fireplace, gather around a board game, or unwind in your private outdoor hot tub beneath the night sky. Come for a quiet couples’ escape or bring your favorite people for a few days together.



HOLIDAY STAYS November 20, 2026 - January 9, 2027



The Christmas cheer extends beyond your cabin. Your stay includes privately scheduled access to Spa-La-La, our mini spa retreat, which will also be decorated for the season. Stop by our festive little camp store, Red Roof Treats, and schedule a few hours in one of our decorated golf carts during your stay. Ask us about golf-cart availability and scheduling when planning your visit.



A COZY CABIN AT LAKE OF EGYPT



Located in Goreville, Southern Illinois, this pet-friendly cabin is off-lake, across the street from the water, with lake access, a boat dock, and a stargazing deck. Enjoy a private yard, peaceful surroundings, and occasional visits from neighborhood deer.

• Larger loft: queen bed, reached by steep stairs

• Smaller loft: two twin beds, reached by a ladder

• Downstairs: queen sofa bed



Please consider the loft access when deciding whether the cabin suits your group.

IMPORTANT FOR YOUR STAY



The cabin is off-lake, rather than lakefront. The lofts require a ladder or steep stairs. There is no nearby public transportation, and icy conditions can make neighborhood roads difficult to navigate.

Many are within walking distance of each other, allowing friends and extended families to stay nearby while enjoying their own private space. Ask us about coordinating multiple rentals.

My family had a wonderful little getaway! The cabin was very cozy and quaint, just perfect! We also appreciated the coffee and condiments in the fridge as a courtesy. It was very windy weather when we visited, so we did not end up using the paddle boat or kayaks. However, my kids loved the floating raft off the dock and we all enjoyed the hot tub! Perfect location in Southern IL and would most definitely stay at a property of Kris’ and her husband’s in the future!!

Perfect place for a fun and relaxing weekend!

My husband and I had a great time at this little cabin! It made for a very relaxing weekend together. The location is perfect and in a very quiet area. We enjoyed watching the deer while eating breakfast! We also had fun with the paddle boats and canoe. There are some great places to eat close by in Marion, but the cabin was also very well equipped for us to just make most of our meals right there.

This property was adorable and we would love to return in the near future. We met the owners who live across the street and they are very friendly, all their properties in the area look just as nice - well maintained and rustic. Easy access to lake for canoeing/kayaking too. We love this area but we came to town specifically for Vulture Fest which was disappointing/not what we expected so it was nice to have this little retreat.

Always great to be on this lake on July 4th. Cabin had everything we needed to enjoy our long weekend. I was disappointed in not being able to tie our boat onto the dock, but appreciated the use of the paddleboards and kayaks. Access to the dock was a hike!

A sweet getaway with a homey feel

The property is off the lake but has access within 100 ft with a canoe, paddle boat, paddle boards, and even a stargazing deck. The owners are responsive, kind, and neighborly- they even brought over coffee filters and maple syrup! We loved staying here, and the cabin has tons of little touches that make it memorable, homey, and lux all at the same time. I’d suggest the red roof retreat to a couple of a couple with one or two kids for an outdoor/indoor getaway!

Lovely retreat

The cabin is adorable and just the right size for 1 - 4 people (if at least 2 are kids). Very clean. This trip was just me but I plan to bring my two kids with me next time. The master bed is comfortable. Access to the doc, canoe, paddle boats, etc is simple and even though it is shared, pretty private, too. Day tripping around the area was amazing. There is so much to see and the landscape is beautiful.

Enjoyed our stay! Will be back again.

We had a wonderful stay with Red Roof Retreats! The home was cozy and warm, perfect for a cold winter weekend getaway. We visited right before the holidays and the cabin was full of Christmas decorations, which we enjoyed. We were able to cook, watch movies, and relax, and the location was great - just a short walk to the lake and a short drive to Fern Clyffe State Park. Our host communicated with us during our stay and helped us feel welcome. We loved the welcome basket and recommendations of things to do in the area, and small touches like cold beer mugs in the freezer. Only word of caution would be for taller and larger folks, the twin loft beds are pretty short and you may have a hard time with the loft ceilings. For us, it was perfect, and we will be back again!

The Red Roof Retreat was just that...a retreat!

I actually wanted to book a larger cabin but boy am I glad I choose the Red Roof Retreat, it was perfect! Accommodated 4 adults perfectly. We wanted for nothing. It was so clean and tidy we felt right at home and owners answered questions immediately even though they were on their own vacation! Fishing was awesome and the lake is beautiful. The cabin is so charming and full of character, now that I'm home I miss it! The visitor comments left in the cabin were helpful too, suggestions for places to visit and where to eat. I'd like to tell my friends about the Red Roof Retreat, but the less people know about this hidden gem...the better! More weekends for me! If you stay here you MUST go zip lining at Shawnee Bluff Zip Tours. Rented a pontoon from Mack's Marina, super friendly and great daily rate.
