Holiday rentals with lake access in North America

If you’re looking for a beautiful place with multiple options for relaxing, this is it! If you love the sounds of nature and being near water, this is the place to be!

My whole family absolutely loved our time at Anna's place. We loved waking up and looking for the Eagles each morning and the crane who came to visit. The water view was so tranquil. We enjoyed the fire pit in the evening and the back porch during the day. On the day when it rained and we needed to stay inside we still had a great time playing games while enjoying the lightning show. You can't ask for a better view with all those windows. Anna has gone above and beyond with creating a home away from home for guests. I would definitely stay here again. My kids were ready to move right in. You won't regret booking this location.

This was our second visit to this home. We celebrated our anniversary last fall and returned last week with our kids and pup. We loved getting to share this place that we've come to love so much! The furniture is extremely comfortable, there is a ton of space to put away your things (including groceries!), and the surroundings are gorgeous. Our very favorite place is the large covered patio. If you're looking for a peaceful escape that's great for a couple or a small family, you have found it. We will be back soon.

My daughter and I stayed here after spending the day at Turner Falls. We proceeded onto Mountainview, Arkansas the following day. We truly enjoyed our stay here. Last year, we stayed at a chain hotel during the same trip and we were actually scared there. At this place, we felt safe and comfortable. Sheryl was extremely communicable and always responded quickly. We enjoyed being in a rural area where we could see the stars at night. The next day, we went over to see the cows eating their breakfast, which topped off our lovely stay. We highly recommend staying here, thank you!!

Joe and his place were absolutely perfect for our family getaway. The location, space, and amenities helped make this a prefect vacation.

I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The house was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything I needed. The location was great and made getting around easy and convenient. My host was friendly, responsive, and made sure I felt welcome from the moment I arrived. I really appreciated the attention to detail and thoughtful touches throughout the home. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Thank you for a great experience!

This was by far our favorite stay! It was a beautiful view, a great distance from Branson and we had a great time with the games provided and the pool! This will definitely be our go to spot when we go to Branson for now on! 10/10 recommend staying here!! The view is absolutely breathtaking and it was a cool setup. Look forward to staying again next year when we do a Branson trip!

In town for our first Red Rocks concert. Arriving after getting groceries from Locavore we made dinner beside a setting sun, and later watched the waxing crescent moon rise with Saturn 🪐 in tow. In the mornings we visited the hot tub and enjoyed the birds, and one very curious humming bird. Free magic here, such a lovely slice of the universe. Our visit is a diamond in the mind.

My husband and I stayed here right after our wedding. Just a little getaway after all the fun and craziness. The Airbnb was beautiful and exactly like described in the description and photos! It had a sauna, a beautiful bathroom with a separate shower and tub, and a beer on tap, which was a fun little bonus! The balcony was our favorite part. We sat outside in the mornings with a coffee and enjoyed the views (and honestly the people watching lol). The lake is literally across the street and the 3 minute walk was awesome. Overall a wonderful experience! Highly recommend if you need a quick getaway or want to treat yourself to a more “high tech” luxury apartment 🥰

Amazing place to stay and have some peace of mind!

Cathy was an exceptional host! The accommodations were so beautiful, so much love and hard work put in to making it a cozy place to stay. Bed was huge and comfy. Cinnamon buns were delicious. Hot tub was relaxing and private. We want to come back and try one of her other suites.

The apartment had everything mentioned in the publication, everything tidy and clean, all the amenities that were needed for the stay, the balcony is a plus since the view is beautiful, super comfortable armchairs and bed, an apartment that I would return to without thinking, I loved it ❤️

The location was great and Dayna was an excellent host. We really enjoyed sitting on the covered balcony overlooking the lake.

Such a beautiful, relaxing week. Enjoyed sitting by lake and drinking coffee every morning. Angie was such a great host. She made sure we always had what we needed. Would def stay again.

Paula's place was exactly as described, absolutely beautiful, clean, and has all the little extras. Extremely responsive and very helpful, we go down once a year and will absolutely look to stay here again!

Scott's place was exactly as described. Communication was great. Very clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. The views were awesome. We even saw deer in the evenings. Would definitely book again when in the area.

Val and Boyd were so sweet and helpful! The water was high but they communicated before we came as well as during our stay. The cabin was right on the water and super easy to jump on our kayaks. We got much needed rest. It was clean and so cute. It is also just a short drive into Eureka for shopping. We added a night onto our stay and Val was super quick to help with that! We already can’t wait to come back!

This place was built with the river and sunset in mind! The angle of the house is perfectly set to see the river flow from one end to the other! Two sides of the house has large glass windows where you have a picturesque view from the house and loft. The house smelt and looked squeaky clean inside. The decor was well thought out and aesthetically pleasing. The house is small but very functional for it’s purpose. We felt right at home and comfortable. There were fresh eggs and butter in the refrigerator for breakfast and bread and coffee cake in the freezer which was a very nice and thoughtful touch. The kitchen and bathroom was stocked with essentials too. We were just passing through town and hoped for a relaxing place to stay. We were not disappointed! Wish we could have stayed longer! Maybe next time.

loved it, we will come back again

We were on our honeymoon and was a perfect getaway for us to relax! We really enjoyed the amenities and extremely clean living space. A few of our favorite parts of the stay were chilling on the porch swing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing. We would highly recommend this to anybody who wants a private and romantic getaway!

I would highly recommend the Honey Bee Cottage to anyone who is looking for a place to stay in Champaign - Urbana. The hosts were very kind and welcoming from the start. The place was beautiful, tranquil, and very clean. It made my time in the area all the more enjoyable and memorable. If you're looking for a comforting place to stay, this is it!

This was the second time we have stayed at this beautiful cottage. It is so peaceful. The fishing is amazing. We hope to stay here again in the future. You won’t regret it.

We enjoyed our stay. It was very clean and that is very important to us. We couldn’t figure out how to use the coffee maker and within minutes, they brought us another one. We enjoyed the loft area for cozy reading. Megan was always very quick to respond (usually within 5 min).

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The cottage and scenery was beautiful. It was such a peaceful weekend retreat. Wendy was a great host!
