Beautiful home and setting

The property was incredible! We were on a girl’s trip and could not have picked a more perfect house! We had our morning coffee on the back deck overlooking the beautiful lake. It was close to wineries and restaurants. Amazing! We’re already planning a return trip!

SOIL Getaway

Took the family to southern Illinois for a quick getaway. The property was great. Really loved the pool and hot tub! The view from the back of the house of the lake was great! The kids and myself enjoyed the paddle boats! The entertaining area was quite large. Would be great for weddings, family reunions, etc.

Family Visit

The house was beautiful and very clean and had everything we needed and more. I came from Wisconsin with my family and my niece came from England to visit our family, who all live near Carbondale and surrounding areas. The thing we all liked about the house the most was the outdoor seating. There were so many places to sit outside with plenty of room for everyone.

Multigenerational stay

We had a wonderful stay. Only thing to note for planning purposes is that the bathroom connected to the only bedroom on the main floor requires steps up and down from the shower. My mom is highly mobile (uses a cane and handrails) so she could stay downstairs with a direct walk in shower. There are 3 full (tub and shower) plus two 1/2 baths. The outdoor spaces were beautifully designed and furnished. The house is tucked into a corner with the lake behind. You will forget its in a neighboorhood. Fresh coffee every morning in the sunroom or on the porch was lovely. If I had known I'd stay an extra day and not leave the house. Bring groceries and staycation in this lovely home. (Wineries are close and evening performances at the fantastic SIU McCloud theatre.)

Group trip

We were a group of 8 looking for a quiet week of relaxing. This house was beautiful! Very clean, lots of room. We rented a golf cart to drive around the property. Very nice pool, we had all to ourselves. Paddle boats, a golf course within a couple of miles. It was very quiet even being just about 1/2 miles off the highway. We were very pleased with our stay and I would highly recommend it.

Beautiful lake view from comfy sunroom

Really enjoyed our stay at the Gibson House. It was perfect for our family visit, very clean and well stocked. It’s large and open common rooms are engaging yet has quiet, private bedrooms. The weather was perfect for lounging on the covered porches and we even caught a few bass from the lake.

A Get-A-Way You Must Experience

There are really no words to describe this property, but if I have to choose one it will be spectacular. This home sits on a beautiful lake with beautiful views all around the house. I am very picky so to satisfy me completely is rare, this home exceeded all of my expectations and the cleaning crew deserves kudos, the home was immaculately clean. We will certainly be back.

A perfect getaway

This was by far the cleanest rental we’ve ever had. There are quite a few artificial plants and other decor items and not a spec of dust was on them. The cabinets have glass fronts and they were spotless. We were very impressed and glad for the cleanliness. The grounds are beautiful. The paddle boats were a blast. We had a small non issue in the garage when we arrived and someone arrived within hours to clean it up (even though we had told them it wasn’t needed and would be fine during the stay). They have fishing gear and yard games and the views are beautiful. We sat on the porch for hours watching the turtles swimming around in the lake. This was just a really top notch place so close to home. We will be back!
