Stayed Jun 11, 2025Pretty, secluded location. The pictures may be deceiving to some, but we stayed with 4 people and there was plenty of room. Communication was super easy with host, very responsive. Cabin was supplied with many amenities for cooking and just basic stay needs. Host pretty thought of everything.

Stayed Apr 7, 2024We were looking for a place to view the 2024 solar eclipse and we found this cabin, which was in the path of totality! We were so excited to be able to view the eclipse from the property, which meant that we didn't have to deal with traffic getting home or to other lodging. Sherry was a great host. The cabin was quiet and clean. and just perfect for a two-night stay.

Stayed Dec 31, 1969This place is Awesome!!! Thoroughly cleaned! Communication with Sherry was excellent! It was convenient having the screened in porch. I could leave my boots and other hunting equipment outside without having to worry about the weather. The place feels safe and is located on a working farm. Only minutes from the Shawnee National Forest and Cypress Creek Wildlife refuge! I look forward to my next stay at The Rested Duck!

Stayed Jun 27, 2025This place is an excellent get away in Southern Illinois. Adjacent to a small lake good for kayaking and bird hunting. Recent updated in a duck hunting theme. Really nice and comfortable, both inside and on the screened in patio.

Stayed May 25, 2024Come prepared. This is a very remote place saved for nature. The cabin is a duplex and the description is misleading. I reserved the non refundable unit before noticing it was a duplex. Both units are listed with a four-person capacity when it's really only for two each. The porch and parking is also shared. The air conditioner/heater is very loud, so it helps to drown out the sound of the neighbors. I had a whole family staying next to me, and they had a special adult child who came in and out all day and night, and they were smoking cigarettes on the eclosed porch. Thankfully I stopped a couple places on the way for food a drink because there is nothing substantial to eat for miles and miles around. The horseshoe pub has only greasy grub from the bottom of the barrel. The creamer in the unit for the coffee was bad and the dollar general was out of milk. There were a couple roaches in the unit as I was packing up to leave. It's a great place for a group to rent both sides but very inappropriately designed for multi family. The description should be changed as there is no logical way to open two cots in this unit. The shower caddy isn't set up well with the faucet so there's no place for soap. The sink is too small to wash anything. Overall it is about the same value, price, and discomfort as a hotel but you get access to the outside more easily. And the lake is beautiful.

Stayed May 20, 2024Great little cabin and very clean. I enjoyed my stay! It wasn’t on the lake as I pictured but other than that it was perfect.
