Holiday rentals with a kayak in Illinois River

The view over the lake is priceless.

Our family was thrilled with this lake house! It was very functional and fit us perfectly—8 adults and 5 kids. Even though it rained every day we were there, the game room kept us entertained and we had all we needed to be comfortable. Easy access to grocery stores. Beautiful view of the lake with plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy it! We will be back!

Great place to stay

Beautiful house. I love the pond as well. I would love to come back when I’m not working, there are some of the biggest bluegill I’ve seen in my life!

What a beautiful home! We only stayed one night but I wish we could e stayed a week! The house was spotless, the beds comfortable, and the backyard and dock were a hit with the kids. Blaine was very responsive to questions and was super helpful with everything. We loved it!

Wow! My wife and I were gobsmacked by how amazing this place was. The pictures did not do it justice. Was this way too much house for two people? You bet! And we loved every minute. The walkout basement with hot tub, sauna, arcade games and a lounge area that leads to a pond is a great place to hang out. There are plenty of rooms, many of them "mini suites" with attached sub-bedrooms and even an occasional sub-sub-bedroom. The surroundings are private and beautiful, the house was immaculate, the solarium is a lovely place to spend some time. There's a great deck (plus another one), lovely views, plenty of wildlife (including a wild turkey!) and the surrounding area is absolutely wonderful if you're into outdoor activities. The birding here is wonderful, with an incredible amount of long-legged birds, Wood Ducks, Mergansers, Kingfishers, and more just a few miles down the road, close to the river(s). We never realized how beautiful the Godfrey/Grafton area is - we'll be back!

Amazing place, stunning views, and incredible amenities. We’d give it 6 stars if we could. The early morning hot tub over looking the lake was so peaceful and relaxing. From billiards, to fishing, driving golf balls into the lake, and games galore, this place is fun for the whole family! The friendly and knowledgeable host provides a river themed stay and adventure that we will never forget.

Perfect getaway for a long weekend on the lake and golf course. Huge, clean open area kitchen/dining/living room. TVs in the bedrooms. Screened in porch and walk around deck on overlooking the lake. Kayaks, paddle board, pin pong table, & medium sized gas grill. Host was super responsive. Book it, you won’t regret it.

This is the perfect place to relax! The view is gorgeous and it’s a quiet area. Everything was as it appeared in pictures.

We really enjoyed our stay! I wish we would have known prior to booking that cabin # 4 was a connected unit. We have two young children and worried about disturbing our neighbors if they woke up late at night. This very well may have been a lack of research on my part however. The staff was wonderful! The space was perfect size for our family of 4! We are planning to revisit when we have more time!

Amazing private location with awesome views of wildlife a mere 100 feet from the back patio. Very easy to access once you've checked in! The TV quit working during our stay which was a bummer, but we asked the host for any possible options and there was a new TV installed within hours! Amazing customer service. Will be staying again!

Loved the views and how serene it was.

It was a beautiful place to go to. Would have loved to use that time to go walking around. If you love going outdoors, you would like this.

We always enjoy our stay at the Legacy cabins at Wildlife Prairie Park. It’s so peaceful and pleasant! Sitting on the patio with coffee in the morning watching the bison, elk and Canadian geese is so relaxing. Loved the park!!!

I’m obsessed with this place! I live in a very populated area with a ton of traffic, this place is a little bit of heaven! It’s so clean and quiet. I’ve been here with my bff and my husband. It’s a perfect place for both. I love it here! I will be back!!!

We would stay here again!

Great location within walking distance of Grand Bear’s water park.

We had a great time! Megan’s lodge is very private and the dock was beautiful! The only thing we didn’t realize is we needed to bring our own grilling tools so we had to run out to Dollar General for that. Otherwise this was perfect and such a cute place.

The house was set up with everything a family could want. The beds were comfortable. The 4 outside sitting areas and huge dining table gave everyone room to hang out. Maddy had lots of board games and even a bag game that the kids had room to play in the family room. The grill/smoker was a wonderful surprise, too. We will book again.

We had a wonderful, relaxing stay at Lynda's cabin. It's right on Matanzas Beach, minutes from Havana. The pictures don't do it justice! The cabin felt much larger than expected. Lynda has everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a fully stocked kitchen and BBQ grill. The views are gorgeous, and sitting on the deck or by the firepit during sunset is not to be missed. There are some great restaurants / bars in Havana, including Babe's, Stag Tap, Lulu's, and Riverside Grill. And of course Peaches for ice cream. Lynda was very helpful & checked on us to make sure we got in & had everything we needed. I would love to stay at the cabin again!

The cabin was awesome, and the setting was beautiful. Caught four bass within the first five minutes of fishing right off the shore behind the cabin. The basement and Deck space were great aswell.

Had a wonderful visit. Th kids loved the room upstairs. Would love to visit in the summer.

Excellent. A great secluded spot up on the hill to listen to the nature around you.
