Vacation rentals with lake access in Carterville

Tim’s place is peaceful and a reasonable distance from Kinkaid Lake. We enjoyed the quiet surroundings and amenities provided.

We were in town for a girls get away with some hiking and Twisted Sister was perfect! Such a beautiful setting and so close to the places we wanted to go. It was super easy to get in, very clean, and had everything we needed to cook for ourselves as we prefer to do. We also enjoyed strawberries from Flamm Orchard, and great hikes at nearby Little Grand Canyon and Cove Hollow, plus of course Giant City State Park. Candace was an excellent hostess. She lives next door but gave us complete privacy. And when I had questions or wanted recommendations she was super responsive. It made us feel safe and cared for. It is so nice that she shares her beautiful property with guests in this way. We will be back!

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!

Absolute perfect family rental! Seemed like they thought of everything from outdoor games and water fun to every amenity needed inside also. Location is quiet and super safe, seems to be on a side of the lake that’s not full of partiers etc. Fishing was great, the patio and decks are well lit at night, good phone service, close to all the good stuff in southern Illinois, etc. our new family favorite

Wonderful area, peaceful and quiet. Kitchen was wonderful with everything you would need. Located near the lake and easy driving to Fern Cliff and Giant City State Parks. We also kayaked at Cache Bayou outfitters about 40 minutes away.

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!

We've stayed at several places on Lake of Egypt and this was one of the best! Very spacious, great location, very well stocked! Some Airbnbs don't provide enough of the basics like toilet paper, but this home was very well stocked with more than we could have hoped for (even body wash, shampoo and conditioner, if needed). Great view and easy access by car or boat.

Our stay at Whirlwind Farm was beyond our expectations. Dixie was very responsive and made sure every detail was satisfactory for us. We highly recommend staying here when you are in the DuQuoin area.

We really enjoyed our stay! Beautiful and clean - looked just like the pictures. Walking distance to great restaurants. Will definitely stay again! The host is super responsive and helpful.

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.

The home was extremely clean and well organized. It was quiet and exactly what the family needed.

House was clean and matched the pictures and view of one of Lake of Egypt’s coves was nice. Lots of wildlife in the area. Location is peaceful. The house has almost everything you could need. We were staying in the area for our daughter’s wedding but we would stay again if the need ever arose.

Exceeded our expectations! The view is beautiful! We loved the screened in hot tub and fireplace, and loved the grill under the deck. Perfect for a rainy evening. Bell was responsive and gave detailed instructions of how to use everything there. We’ve already recommended to friends and hope to come back:) 50 minutes away from garden of the gods and even closer to other hiking trails. So many cute restaurants and things to do in the area. We had a great time:)

I can't say enough positive about our stay at Melvin's place - it is truly outstanding! Melvin is tremendously responsive and helpful and the place is absolutely wonderful - we loved it!
