Vacation rentals with a kayak in Marion

We had a family gathering and found this home a lovely place to meet. The common areas were large and comfortable for our family of 11 adults and a few local family members who joined us for the day.

Quiet space in a beautiful location. Clean and comfortable with plenty of room for multiple families to both come together and spread out. Well stocked with necessities and the pool is a great amenity!

This a beautiful property. We spent a lovely weekend here and enjoyed the setting. It was great for three couples. We used the main house and one of the cabins. We enjoyed eating breakfast outside and sitting by the fire at night. Thanks for a great weekend

What a beautiful place nestled in the woods—a little piece of heaven! Surrounded by blooming bluebells, a variety of birds perfect for birdwatching, a peaceful creek with a tire swing, and even an outdoor projector for movie nights—this place has it all and more. Located near Shawnee Forest trails, including the stunning Garden of the Gods, it’s the ideal spot for outdoor adventures. This was our second stay, and once again, everything was perfect. The hosts are incredibly accommodating and quick to respond. Highly recommend!

My wife, friends, and I were in the area for the Tunnel Hill 100. The location of the house was great. Only about 25 minutes from Vienna City Park where the race started. There was plenty of room for all of us. The home was exceptionally clean, and the views of the lake were amazing. Megan was a great host. She quickly answered all of the questions I had and kept in good touch with us. I am considering returning to the race next year. Catching Rays is definitely a place I would return to.

Absolutely one of my favorite places we’ve stayed at. The house was beautiful and had a great view. We watched all kinds of wildlife. The hostess was very responsive and communicative with the bad storms that were coming through. This was also one of the best stocked places I’ve ever been. We would love to come back when we are able to do some water activities!

My brother and I were crossing the country with our bass boat, fishing lakes along the way. The Lake of Egypt is a very beautiful lake with great smallmouth bass fishing! Michelle's place was a perfect place to stay! The settings were very beautiful and very clean. We're right on the lake with the boat slip in front. We were able to watch her boat and leave it in slip made fishing the lake very accommodating. The place very beautiful place to stay and will definitely be back.

Lovely and peaceful getaway for us and our adult children. Our dog loved that he could roam leash free around the property.

This is a perfect little cottage near the lake. It had everything we needed, including nice outdoor patio spaces for eating and a big firepit. You can't see much of the lake from the cottage, but it's easy to get to - across a quiet road and down a very long flight of stairs. There's a nice big dock for fishing, swimming, star gazing at night, boating, and just relaxing and enjoying the view (it's a particularly scenic section of the lake because there is no development on the other side of the water - just forest!). We loved having access to kayaks and enjoyed fishing off the dock. Would love to return in summer when we can swim and do even more water activities!

The little cabin was absolutely perfect for some much needed down time. It had everything I needed and wanted. Christi was helpful with making hiking recommendations as well.

Cute, cozy, and peaceful cabin with great views! The cabin was easy to find, was super clean and cute when we arrived, and the hot was very responsive to any questions we had! The wildflower cabin was so beautiful and just what we needed to get away together. The winery was right down the road as well as hiking if you like to do that! We enjoyed our stay so much!

We enjoyed exploring the many beautiful parks in the region, relaxing on the huge deck, playing pool in the game room, cooking together in the large kitchen, kayaking, frisbee golf practice, and hiking the property. We had a great stay with no issues and made family memories at this beautiful house. The house is set up well for visitors (e.g., light switches labeled) and has all the amenities one would expect when booking an Air BnB. Thanks for hosting, Mark!

The cabin was clean, secluded and very peaceful. We will stay there again when visiting family. Thank you Tom for a nice stay!

I had a wonderful stay over Christmas to visit family. Bradley created a very festive atmosphere and I felt very much at home! He was very responsive to any questions and gave great directions. The property was absolutely beautiful, perfect for morning coffee by the pond. Lots of wildlife and space to roam. Walking, bikes, and canoe were great! It is quite secluded off the beaten path but easy to find with instruction. It was perfect and my family and I loved this stay. Definitely recommend and definitely would return! A huge Thank You from my family to yours.

A beautiful and peaceful place to stay. We’d definitely stay here again! My favorite part was the view of the bight sky stars through the large bedroom window.

Wonderful private and cute cabin stay with nice hot tub, hammock & kayaks. Close to wineries and Giant City State park. We enjoyed a fun and peaceful stay :)
