Hunter's Heaven overlooking private lake on 70 acres.
Escape to this 3-bedroom cabin retreat in central IL just south of Effingham. With a king bed, queen bed, and queen bunk beds, guests can unwind in this cozy space. Enjoy the peaceful surroundings and modern amenities like WiFi, heating, and AC. The two bathrooms with shower and shower/tub make getting ready a breeze. Enjoy sitting on the covered deck over looking the private lake in the mornings with your coffee and in the evenings eating dinner. You occasionally will see waterfowl on the lake and deer in the back field. Take a walk around the lake and surrounding private woods or bring your bikes for a ride down the country roads. After dark enjoy the large comfy leather couch watching your favorite movie on the big screen TV. We also have a 30 amp camper plug that can be rented for extra $55 a night if your friends or family want to bring their camper (only available when cabin is rented). We hope you enjoy your stay.

Tranquility
I ventured out to find a quiet, peaceful place where I could get some writing done. The cabin was clean, modern, and well maintained. The surrounding area was exactly what I needed. No outside world interruptions with the added benefit of internet access. It is somewhere I would love to go back too.

Weekend fishing trip
Me and a couple buddies were looking for a place to stay close to Forbes Lake for a small club tournament. This is a great place to stay, clean, comfortable and extremely secluded and secure. Lots of deer and probably plenty of bluegill in the pond out back. Nice grill as well. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful vacation spot
The cabin was better than described. The lake was wonderful with plenty of fish. The kitchen was extremely well stocked. The beds were very comfortable. Visited the cabin as quick getaway from the daily grind with the wife and the dog and it was so peaceful, we didn’t wanna leave.

Great Getaway
Hunter's Heaven was the perfect place to stay for our quick getaway weekend. Shane was always responsive to our communications. He even let us check-in early which was much appreciated. The cabin was stocked with everything we could want or need. We made all of our meals in the well laid out kitchen with nice new appliances. The living room was perfect for watching a movie, bathrooms were pristine, and the bed was very comfy. We spent most of our time on the covered back deck enjoying the sights and sounds of nature while it rained. When it wasn't raining, we caught at least 50 fish from the dock. We took a walk on the country roads and took some pictures of all the farm fields filled with yellow butterweed. I don't think we saw one person all weekend. Thank You Shane for offering this unique rental and we can't wait to come back!
