About this property

Little Moon Lakefront Cabin with Dock & Firepit

  • Little Moon Tiny Cabin | Lakefront at Lake of Egypt



    Welcome to Little Moon, your cozy one-room lakefront cabin tucked along the shores of Lake of Egypt in Goreville, Illinois. This tiny cabin is simple, peaceful, and perfectly placed right on the water. Designed for couples and flexible enough for a tiny family, it offers everything you need for quiet mornings, lake days, and evenings under the stars.



    Little Moon embraces true tiny-home living — compact, comfortable, and full of charm. The open layout features a comfy full-size mattress and a twin sleeper sofa for an additional guest. Large windows bring in natural light and beautiful lake views. You can enjoy the air conditioning on warm days or open the windows to hear the soft night sounds of the water and wildlife.



    The kitchenette includes a sink with running water, mini-fridge, toaster oven with griddle, microwave, coffee maker, and the essentials for preparing simple meals. It’s perfect for easy breakfasts before a day on the lake or relaxed dinners after hiking nearby trails.



    Inside, you’ll find a small bathroom setup, and just outside, a private outdoor shower — a guest favorite. Rinse off after swimming, then relax on the deck while your hair dries in the lake breeze.



    Step outside and you’re truly in your own little waterfront retreat. Little Moon sits on a lakefront lot with its own small dock where you can fish, watch jumping fish at sunset, or park your boat. Two small decks overlook the water, offering the perfect spot for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or stargazing at night. A firepit near the water invites slow evenings under the sky.



    For lake fun, a canoe, kayaks, paddleboards and paddleboats are available for your use, and you’re welcome to bring your own fishing poles — or use ours. Wildlife is part of everyday life here, from deer in the trees to birds over the water.



    Little Moon is pet friendly and includes WiFi for those who need to stay connected, though many guests choose to unplug and simply enjoy the quiet surroundings. Spa-La-La is available as an add-on experience, and if you’re traveling with friends or family, we also have other rentals nearby.



    The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and perfect for walking or biking. You’ll be close to great hiking, biking, climbing, wineries, and Shawnee National Forest adventures. There is no public transit, so a personal vehicle is recommended.



    We offer self check-in for convenience and are available by phone or text if you need anything we are available to fix any issues.



    Little Moon promises simple comfort, beautiful water views, and a genuine lakefront experience. If you love tiny living and big lake sunsets, this peaceful hideaway is waiting for you.



    Red Roof Retreats includes multiple unique properties at Lake of Egypt — from lakefront homes to treehouses and tiny cabins. Many of our stays are within walking distance of each other, making it easy for extended families and friends to stay close while still enjoying their own private space. Ask us about coordinating multiple homes for reunions, celebrations, or group getaways.

Amazing!

I’ve used this rental in the past. This time it was just me and my dog. The peace and quiet of rental is amazing. The hosts Kris and matt are wonderful! They made sure we were taken care if we needed anything. They are both super nice and friendly. The sight from the cabin is breathtaking. All around one of my favorite I will continue to book at!

Cozy cabin

This cabin is tiny, but cozy. Everything we needed was there. We stayed here to be close to SIU for our granddaughter’s graduation. The drive to the school was easy. The setting on the lake was very pretty & peaceful. We were pleased to find we could bring our pup. He enjoyed his walks on the quiet road. The hosts are so very friendly & quick to answer all questions.

Sept 20

Both my husband and myself enjoyed ourselves . The cabin was very clean and definitely cozy . The hosts were very nice people and glad we got the opportunity to meet them and chat a little bit . I loved all the deer we saw on a daily basis , granted our doggies didn’t know what to think ! The lake is gorgeous and it’s so peaceful and quiet out there. We would definitely stay again .

Wonderful hosts, excellent stay with our 2 dogs

Matt and Kris were promptly responsive and accessible for anything we needed. Cupcakes and a birthday card were thoughtfully left in the cabin for my husband’s birthday, along with a basket of snacks and s’mores supplies. The property is well maintained and had just received a fresh porch staining when we arrived. The grill was easy to use and the shower was TO DIE FOR. It is directly on the lake, but be mindful that the walk back up the hill can be taxing depending on your ability. The peninsula was excellent for having a great time on the lake and letting our lab swim. We’ve never stayed someone more than once, but we’re strongly considering staying here again.

Romantic Getaway

This property was so great to stay at. My significant other and I were very impressed, we used the fire pit, canoe, outdoor shower, and all amenities provided inside the cabin. The bugs were bad the first day but that was after it had rained, the next day we stayed out until 10 or 11am doing s’mores and there were barely any bugs at the campfire and the cabin porch. The owners also provide firewood and fire starter. The coffee maker/microwave oven stopped working for us but the owners said they will replace it! Also the outdoor shower ran out of gas for hot water at the end of our shower. The owners even offered to have someone stop by to drop off anything else we needed. The owners also provided marshmallows, chocolate, graham crackers, and roasting sticks to put the marshmallows on. Not including the other snacks and goodies! It’s a small place, so I personally would only make it a romantic getaway!

Clean, Efficient, Little Cabin on a Beautiful Lake.

Great cabin, with great host. One of the cleanest and best organized cabin we have stayed in. The hill back and forth from the dock was a bit of a chore, but got used to it by the end of our stay. The dock is a great place to fish for catfish in the evenings.
