Idyllic Mt Sterling Retreat w/ Private Lake!
Unplug from the urban life and escape to rural Illinois when you book this 4-bedroom 2.5-bathroom nature lover’s paradise in Mt Sterling! Find your zen at this 'Heartland Hideaway' vacation rental and watch your phone fall silent as you enter a WiFi-free zone. A large kitchen, fire pit, private dock, and patio sit on several acres so everyone has room to relax. Further the fun with a jaunt to Siloam Springs State Park or Meredosia Wildlife Refuge. Finish off the day grilling dinner on the patio!

It was a delightful stay - games on the patio, corn hole on the desk, swimming, fishing, walks, and sitting around the fire. Also, we greatly appreciated the ample fridge and freezer space.
My brother and our families (4 adults, 5 teens) stayed at the Hideaway along with our 2 dogs. Great place! Plenty of comfortable beds for all to have their own space. Living room area and the large dining table was great for playing board games. The dogs (and kids) loved running around in the woods and around the lake. The kitchen is massive, with plenty of room for multiple people to cook and well stocked with every type of pan, utensil or sharp knife you might need! We definitely will put this on our list to return to when the weather is warmer and we can swim in the lake!
Comfortable and well-equipped home, with more than enough towels. Under-advertised as has 2 1/2 baths, and use of the boathouse. Loved swimming and jumping off the dock, fishing, and just trolling around the lake with the two boats with trolling motors, and the peddle boat. Very wide mowed path around the lake and other trails. Also had marshmallow forks for the s’mores around the campfire. Enjoyed the rocking bench at the end of the dock, especially in the early morning and for watching sunsets. Hosts were very helpful and responsive. Great memories made.
