Took the family to southern Illinois for a quick getaway. The property was great. Really loved the pool and hot tub! The view from the back of the house of the lake was great! The kids and myself enjoyed the paddle boats! The entertaining area was quite large. Would be great for weddings, family reunions, etc.
The house was beautiful and very clean and had everything we needed and more. I came from Wisconsin with my family and my niece came from England to visit our family, who all live near Carbondale and surrounding areas. The thing we all liked about the house the most was the outdoor seating. There were so many places to sit outside with plenty of room for everyone.
6 adults enjoyed this beautifully kept home. We enjoyed the cleanliness, space, and location to amenities of this space. We enjoyed the pond, pool, hot tub on site. We also enjoyed the local co-op grocery, farmers market, brewery and winery.
Great house! Close to stores. Amenities were nice. Adding a few kayaks to the property would facilitate use of the pond.
Spacious house that's very comfortable for small and large families. Beautiful view onto a large pond with fountains. Pleasant walks allow some wildlife viewing around the pond. Nice pool, paddleboats and sports equipment available to keep everyone busy. Beautiful sunroom and patios perfect for relaxing and visiting with each other.
Absolutely beautiful and well stocked home. There is a pool, a lake, paddle boats and tennis court. Could not have asked for more. Fabulous!!
Had a lovely time catching up with family, in beautiful surroundings! Great location for exploring parks etc!
Really enjoyed our stay at the Gibson House. It was perfect for our family visit, very clean and well stocked. It’s large and open common rooms are engaging yet has quiet, private bedrooms. The weather was perfect for lounging on the covered porches and we even caught a few bass from the lake.
A great experience will stay again.
We rented houses in Pine Lake in order to have a place for everyone to gather as our family attended my mother’s funeral. We celebrated her life by showing old photos on the smart TV. We prepared meals in the beautiful kitchen which was fully equipped. We woke Sat. to a dusting of snow which just added to the quiet and serene setting. The enclosed sun porch provided a great spot to enjoy the rays despite the cold. Betsy was great to work with and responsive, communicating prior to the rental and during. It would also be a great location in the summer for outdoor activities.
My family loved it
Very peaceful, looking to book again for next year
Very well equipped and stocked. Beautiful well maintained grounds. Enjoyed the tennis and nearby golf. Enjoyed the paddle boat and fishing in the pond.
Great
Beautiful, serene, amazing amenities, relaxing - just what we needed. Close to Carbondale for some exploration and meals when we felt like it. Did not want to leave!! Highly recommend!
This place is very nice and is perfect for a family getaway or a guys golf trip since it’s so close to golf courses. The pond is great for fishing and the pool is so close you won’t ever have to leave the property if you don’t want to. I honestly never even talked to the property owner….which I don’t count as a bad thing….communication received was everything I needed so I never had to ask any questions. Property and everything about it was in great working order when we showed up and throughout so there was never a need for me to reach out. This place is awesome and I will definitely be staying there again!
A group of us came for a long weekend and we had the most amazing time. The communication with hosts was great, the house was gorgeous and very clean, and the location is so peaceful and relaxing! We also did the wine trail which was so much fun. We can’t wait to come back again.
