Fantastic location, can't beat the lake!
This was the perfect launching spot for adventures in Giant City State Park, Millstone Bluffs, Garden of the Gods and Fern Clyffe. So many more places we wished we could have seen! Close to great coffee (Crown Brew) and bakery (Grandma Puckett's), kitchen was fully equipped for making meals and picnics. Loved the grill on the back patio. The crown jewel of this property is the small beach in the back, after a day of hiking coming home to throw something on the grill while the kids play in the sand was just next level wonderful. The lake was very peaceful and nice calm water when we visited (not much boat traffic) so the older kids and I even got to enjoy the kayaks.

Relaxing oasis
So much to do in the area but so little time. We loved the house, beach, and property. Each space inside and out felt private. Kayaks were a plus. We would definitely stay again.

Wonderful Getaway!
We loved everything about this property! So much nicer even than the photos! I will remember my son kayaking for the first time, paddle-boating, playing cards on the porch, swimming, watching the kids play on the beach, making s’mores in the firepit, reading on the beach and porch, and enjoying the time with my family and friends here! Loved going to Garden of the Gods while we were here too and seeing Sassy the Sasquatch. An amazing trip! Thank you!

About the host

Host profile image
Mary Ann and I retired a few years ago and are now more about enjoying our life and especially our 5 grandbabies.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in my family since 1901. Before there was a lake it was my great Grandfathers farm. The surrounding property and across the lake were a part of the 85 acre property. In 1963-ish, as the lake was being created the farm was parceled out were each of the Adams children received a lot (hence Adams Acres) and the property beneath the lake and across was sold. The cabin is located on my Uncle Denny's lot that briefly was owned outside of the family. We were able to purchase it and build the cabin in exactly the same spot and footprint of his original cabin.

What makes this property unique

The cabin at Adams Acres offers close proximity to the local highways (Interstates 24 & 57 and Illinois routes 37 & 148) are a few minutes away. The home is newer (built in 2016) with the express purpose of being a short stay cabin for people visiting Southern Illinois...including my family. We did our best to insure the place includes the creature comforts of a home with the solitude and privacy of a lakeside cabin. There is a dock, private beach (shared with our home next door), kayaks and peddle boat for recreation. There is also a fire pit and tiki torches down by the water for night time fun.
