Holiday rentals with a kayak in Central Illinois

Super cool place, looks just like the pictures. We loved being outside and the hot tub was awesome. Even on a rainy day there were so many things to do inside with all the games and streaming devices. The rooms were all very spacious and comfortable, the bathrooms were clean and well kept. A highly recommended place to go.

Great place to stay….easy check in. Had everything you would need for any activity. Great views. We stayed there while visiting family in the area. Will stay again. We fished from the beach. Although pretty windy my son did kayak some. The beach/sand toys and fishing rods came in handy as well. Plenty of chairs and places to sit for family when they stopped in.

Derek was an amazing host, very helpful with all of his tips and communication. The place is great, our family loved it, and we can’t wait to stay here again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Place was quiet, peaceful and relaxing. The deck and dock area was wonderful. So enjoyed watching the family of geese every morning. Place is just beautiful!

Swan's Nest is cozy and comfortable and located in beautiful surroundings. This was my second stay and I hope to be back next year.

The Captain’s Quarters is a fun place to stay. We went for the outdoor activity but had lots of rain. No worries! The location is great and there was plenty to do inside - games, fireplace, television, and cards. The amenities are fabulous. Multiple grills (Weber, Blackstone), excellent galley kitchen, and appliances. Alex even prepared fishing gear for our stay. The home is full of light and quiet. The spiral staircase is a fun way to navigate floors.

My family really enjoyed our stay. It was nice to wake up to the water every day. The house is exactly as described and fully stocked with just about everything you could need. There is a park, restaurants, and a few shops that are within walking distance. Rhiannon responded pretty quickly anytime we had questions. Would stay again if we were to come back to the area.

We had a great stay here. We realized after we arrived that we had previously stayed at the home next door. It's a great little lake with kayaks and a paddle boat. We also used the fire pit for smores. We went to the pool area and also attended a summer concert and fairy garden class. Peaceful stay!

We came to visit family that lived in the surrounding area and we found this listing. My family sounded unsure when I told them that the location was in Decatur -but they couldn't believe it when they saw it. It's really a hidden gem in a great location. Additionally the amenities were all modern and worked well, really felt like home. There was plenty of indoor and outdoor space to unwind. Our family played a bunch of board games that we brought but there were some classic games at the Airbnb. It's worth noting everyone in the family that stayed had high praise of the mattresses and bedding, some places are kind of barebones but this one was pretty good and comfortable. Throughout the house there were great labels that were easy to see while still being discreet for finding things such as towels or various cookware, just about any question we could have had was answered just with our basic walkthrough when we arrived.

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.

Kristen was very helpful when we needed to check in early. The house was so beautiful and SPOTLESS. We loved the decor, and she thought of everything that could possibly be needed. My mom and I enjoyed the kayaks; we had never kayaked before, but they were right there and so easy to launch and use. It was a great adventure!

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!!!

Our stay was perfect! Alisa was an accommodating host and easy to communicate with. Her place is exactly what is pictured and is as described. My kids loved her DVD collection and we had a great time playing games — we were indoors mostly since the weather wasn’t cooperating for fishing. We felt completely comfortable!

This was our second visit to this lakefront home. Great view, peaceful, clean and comfortable. Mary, the host, is friendly and responds quickly to messages. This is the perfect place for my sister and I to get away from the city and relax. Thanks Mary and Tim!

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

Was a beautiful place to stay for the weekend. Definitely worth the visit!

We loved our stay in the beautiful and peaceful location and cabin. The bed was amazing and the surrounding windows made you feel like you were in nature while offering amazing views. Can’t wait to return.

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.

This place was beautiful the wood finish was brethtaking just the weekend we needed the host was awesome they really did think of every detail me and my husband loved this place and would definitely stay here agin

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!

Perfect place for a weekend trip! Very clean and such a cute place, couldn’t have gone any better!! If you are coming in the summer, make sure to bring some bug spray because Central IL bugs can get crazy!

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

This place was great! Nice property and equipped well. Very comfy and cozy. Caught fish in the pond….more than the lakes nearby. Gloria and Joe were great and loved visits from the doggos! Definitely recommend. Just a note, the property is accessed by several dirt roads. Didn’t bother us but for others info.
