    We were extremely happy with this rental and loved the extra perks of ice, water, coffee, and snacks provided by the owner. What a gem! We will definitely make this our go to for overnight stays when traveling to southern IL.

    Four friends looking for a place to stay near Kinkaid lake for a little fishing trip, and the place was perfect and the boat launch for Kinkaid lake is only 2 minutes away. The place had everything we wanted and needed. Very spacious and clean and the owner was very welcoming. We know exactly where we will be staying the next time we visit Kinkaid lake.

    We came for the bike race in Alto Pass and wanted a place instead of a hotel. I’m glad we found this area! It was close to a lot of places including Carbondale. Host left us goodies which our kids loved! Lots of linens and even had little soaps. Very thoughtful and great stay!!

    Everything you need for a home away from home and very close to Kinkaid Lake! We have a young family and so having the kitchen space and provided utensils/appliances in the kitchen was very useful for cooking meals and eating in. Also, the place was very clean and comfortable!
