Pet-Friendly Waterfront Studio Cabin

THE SPACE

Welcome to your luxury studio cabin, a thoughtful and well-designed 650 sq. ft. retreat perfect for your ultimate Southern Illinois experience. Our cabin is the newest addition to Dam Near Lake of Egypt Cabins—a cheeky name for a surprisingly delightful getaway!

Step inside to an open, airy living space with vaulted wood ceilings and sunlight pouring through the windows. The cabin features a fully-equipped kitchen, a modern bathroom with a washer and dryer, and a cozy living area with a Smart TV. Just outside, a large covered deck overlooks a serene, fishable, swimmable pond, offering beautiful water views right from your door.

This waterfront property is your private oasis. Spend your days relaxing on the small private beach, paddling on the pond (paddle boards provided), or fishing for bass and bluegill. In the evening, gather around your private fire pit with loved ones—we even provide the firewood.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Our cabin is perfectly situated just one mile from the Lake of Egypt dam, making it an ideal base for exploring the region's best attractions. You are just minutes away from local wineries, scenic hiking trails, and fantastic fishing and boating opportunities.

During the lake season, you may hear the sounds of live music on weekends from the local bait store and marina. It's a pleasant reminder of the vibrant local atmosphere that carries across the fields to the cabins.

We provide a starter supply of 3 rolls of toilet paper and 1 roll of paper towels to get you settled in. We provide bath towels, but please remember to bring your own beach towels for the pond.

Great cabin in southern Illinois!

This was the perfect place for me to stay while visiting southern Illinois. The cabin is located in a private area, but it's just a quick drive to Marion, which allows for numerous food, drinks, and fun. I loved the decor and atmosphere of the cabin - it also provided all of the things needed to cook meals, etc. I'd recommend this property to anyone!

Great tiny cabin within a few minute drive to the lake. Well appointed, modern, and clean. We enjoyed the covered back porch on the pond - perfect for evening cookouts. Check in and out was a breeze. Highly recommend and will definitely stay here again

A great long weekend

The place is exactly as listed and the owners were very responsive to any question or need we had on the trip. It was very clean, organized, and had all the essentials things that we needed. The cabin is very close to several great hiking areas as well as a few grocery shops and multiple restaurants. We loved staying in this cabin and we will definitely come back again.

Weekend Getaway

My children and I needed to get away and spend some time together. Ages 15, 14 and two 7 year olds and all had a wonderful time. We spent time paddle boarding and enjoying the peaceful view, we hiked to some waterfalls and napped. It was a lovely weekend and the cabin was beautiful, the kids begged to stay here again!
