Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Goreville

We are returning visitors to the Farmhouse. Jessica is an excellent hostess and provides a lovely place to stay. We highly recommend staying there.

House is very comfortable, clean, and roomy. The outside areas are bigger in person! Lots of bird watching and fun surprise of small lizards while hanging out by the firepit. We did lots of hiking activities nearby, but if you visit during inclement weather, they have lots of games at the house to keep everyone entertained!

An absolutely beautiful place in a quiet peaceful location. We could not have been happier with this amazing place to stay.

It was such a cute, clean, and perfectly convenient place to stay. Not far from the city and campus, but enough space from the city to be comfortable and quiet. I would 10/10 recommend!!!

Loved staying at Ellen’s beautiful lake home for the weekend. It was very comfortable for all and views of the lake/sunset did not disappoint! Ellen was super quick to respond to questions before and during our stay, so accommodating and pleasant :) Lake of Egypt is one of our favorite spots and we enjoyed going back once again. Ellen’s home is one of the prettiest yet - updated and modern with all of the conveniences + lots of extras with vacationers in mind. Located near the marina for great food, boozy shakes, live music and the water park. We also enjoyed the kayaks provided and hanging out on the large deck of the home, as well as the spacious dock below. Highly recommend this host and home for your next trip to the lake!

Tim and Melissa's place was very clean and comfortable. The surroundings were quiet and peaceful. All the hiking where we wanted to go was an easy drive from their place. We will definitely be staying here again, if we want to come back to the Shawnee.

Our stay at this lake house was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the thoughtful touches and attention to detail. The living room’s large windows, provided breathtaking views of the lake. It had every appliance and utensil we needed, along with thoughtful extras like spices, oil, and coffee filters. The bathrooms were equipped with ample towels and toiletries. We enjoyed peaceful mornings on the deck, sipping coffee, cruising the lake, and watching the wildlife. The quiet surroundings made it easy to relax and unwind. We can’t wait to come back and stay again!!

If you want a getaway where you can take in all the natural beauty of nature out your window and with the Lake of Egypt at the bottom of the hill and stunning hiking trails close by; this is your place. All that you need is perfectly located in this cozy home. Sheri left little extras in the home and her communication and thoughtfulness was outstanding. Thank you Sheri for a wonderful weekend. I have already told others about you!

Tammy was fantastic and kind. The place was great for a weekend of turkey hunting and close enough to get to the city to shop and find other things to do as well. We would stay again.

It was the best day the couple was so wonderful to me and my family. I would say there again.

This was a really nice place to stay. Quiet. Easy to get in and out. Close to the lake and things you may need in town. The inside was neat , packed with cute little car things. It would be perfect for a smaller family. It was a little tight with our big family but we still made it work ! They have just about everything you would need . Very convenient. The host was amazing, answered quickly and very friendly. 10/10 I would recommend staying here

It was a great private location surrounded by nature, close to restaurants. A very beautiful stay and it felt like home. The hostess was very kind and understanding when our dog had an accident. We had such an amazing time.

Great place to stay and within walking distance to great restaurant. Deb was amazing to work with and very responsive. Beds were comfortable and we had a great time. We will definitely stay here again.

Ashley and her lakefront rental were both amazing! She made check in and out so seamless and easy , place was juys wayt we needed As makanda girl I really enjoyed the peaceful private yet safe neighborhood feel a lot It was wonderful to sit on that bench and watch the sunset over the lake and was so serene Hope to stay there again sometime Ashley was great

Anna's listing was just as described. Nice place out of town. Anna was very friendly and responsive. She worked with me on entrance due to a funeral; which I greatly appreciated!

This hideout is what you need to get away from it all. We spent our nights around the fire at peace, just listening to nature. The hideout is cozy & tidy with everything you need, even pet friendly items which was a plus ! We checked out Rebecca’s food rec ( shotgun eddys) after our Hike & the food was delicious!! Def a hidden gem in the area. Thank you for everything Rebecca The hospitality was 10/10. Ps. The snacks came in super clutch during our hike!!

My husband I stayed at Linda’s adorable place on a cross-country move. We had driven 13 hours when we arrived and maps delivered us easily. The cottage (best word I can use to describe) was clean and filled with adorable vintage artistic items. My exhausted husband was willing to head into Carbondale for pizza and it was an easy trip there and back (16 mins. Each way). This was a wonderful oasis for us on our journey.

We were surprised by the amenities and care that Mary took to get the place ready for our stay. She had all the essentials in case you missed packing something and more. She was very responsive when we asked for dinner recommendations. The cabin is right at the entrance to Godwin trail and 1.5 miles from the cross. It is walking distance to the cross as well.

We absolutely loved this stay. It’s in the middle of wine trails and we don’t love wine but we found some off the beaten path bourbon stops. Havisham. And the Bourbon rail that are worth the mention. The place is so cozy and clean. It was perfect for our quiet close to home get away.

Cute house for a couples getaway + Dog Friendly! Hot tub was relaxing, fits 2 people comfortably. Had the AC on when we arrived which was perfect! Bed was comfortable! Owner was very responsive before and during the stay. Friendly, polite and informative. Depending on boat size, might be hard to maneuver. Roads in neighborhood and going to boat launch are not the best. Great location for Ferns Clyffe State Park and Lake Egypt. We enjoyed both. note: no one stayed in the airbnb below us which was nice. Overall, I would stay there again.

Our group has stayed at Jim’s place for four years now. Jim is always hospitable, the lodge is always very clean, and has all the listed amenities. The beautiful surroundings make our weekend very special, quaint, and relaxing. We are able to cook efficiently. We are hopeful to be back next year.

Andrew was an excellent host. Very helpful and friendly. The hot tub was awesome! Bring your tiki torches though. The yard has big beautiful trees with lots of birds singing and squirrels playing. The cabin was rustic chic, very cosy and quiet. Its in a neighborhood thats mostly quiet and so close to downtown and the river. We had a very restful stay.

Had a great weekend at the cabin! It was perfect for the 3 couples. We did some of the Shawnee wine trail and then enjoyed the other amenities, playing board games and relaxing by the peaceful campfire. It's a great location, only 6 minutes from a Walmart but when you are at the cabin, no other homes are in sight. Would love to book again!

Totally worth it! Such a Beautiful and peaceful location, house in pristine conditions as pictured and with all needed appliances for a comfortable stay. Great host too!
