Cozy Refurbished Cottage Near Lake Shelbyville - Pet & Boat Friendly

Welcome to The Navy Cottage, your peaceful home away from home in beautiful Shelbyville, Illinois. This fully refurbished two-bedroom, one-bath cottage blends small-town charm with modern comfort—perfect for families, couples, friends, or anyone looking to relax and recharge just minutes from Lake Shelbyville.

Nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood, The Navy Cottage offers the best of both worlds: serenity and convenience. You’re less than a mile (¾ mile, to be exact) from lake access and just a short drive from downtown shops, restaurants, and marinas.

Inside the Cottage

Step inside and unwind in this thoughtfully updated space where every detail has been designed for comfort and simplicity.

Living Area

The cozy living room invites you to kick back after a day on the water or exploring town. Stream your favorite shows on the Smart TV, connect with Wi-Fi, or enjoy a quiet evening with a cup of coffee or glass of wine. The room’s soft navy accents and warm lighting create a calm, welcoming atmosphere that feels instantly like home.

Fully Equipped Kitchen

Cook up your favorite meals in the fully stocked kitchen, complete with all the cooking essentials you might need—pots, pans, dishes, utensils, and bakeware. You’ll also find a Keurig coffee maker for your morning brew. The adjacent dining area comfortably seats everyone for shared meals, card games, or planning the next day’s adventures.

Bedrooms & Sleeping Arrangements

The Navy Cottage sleeps up to six guests comfortably across two charming bedrooms:

Bedroom 1 (Primary): A relaxing retreat with a queen bed, soft linens, dresser, and closet space for your belongings.

Bedroom 2: Perfect for families or kids, featuring a twin bed and a twin-over-full bunk bed—ideal for sleeping up to three or four guests.

Fresh linens, cozy bedding, and thoughtful touches throughout ensure you sleep soundly every night.

Bathroom

The bright and modern bathroom includes a tub/shower combo and comes stocked with fresh towels, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, so you can pack light.

Laundry

A washer and dryer are available for your use, making longer stays easy and convenient.

Outdoor Living

Step outside to the fenced backyard, where you can relax on the patio, fire up the grill, or let your pets play safely. It’s the perfect place for morning coffee, evening barbecues, or simply enjoying the quiet of a Shelbyville sunset.

The cottage also offers ample gravel parking right next to or in front of the home. There’s even room for a boat trailer—a major bonus for lake visitors! Please note: parking is limited to the gravel areas only; parking on grass is not permitted.

Pet-Friendly

Bring your furry companions along! The Navy Cottage welcomes up to two well-behaved pets. We simply ask that pets stay off the living-room furniture, are cleaned up after in the yard, and are not left unattended unless crated.

Location Highlights

You’ll love how close everything is:

Lake Shelbyville – ¾ mile away (boating, fishing, swimming, trails)

Downtown Shelbyville – 2 minutes (shopping, dining, festivals)

Marinas & Boat Rentals – minutes away

Forest Park & Dam West Recreation Area – 5 minutes

Eagle Creek State Park & Golf Course – 15 minutes

Coon Creek Campground & Beach – 10 minutes

Whether you’re coming to enjoy the lake, visit family, or simply escape the bustle, this central location puts everything within easy reach.

Guest Access

Guests have full, private access to the entire home, including both bedrooms, the kitchen, living area, bathroom, laundry room, fenced backyard, and patio. No shared spaces—just you and your group enjoying The Navy Cottage.

Interaction with Guests

We respect your privacy and want you to feel completely at home. While we don’t live on-site, we’re only a message or call away if you need anything during your stay. Whether you have a quick question, need local recommendations, or run into an issue, we’re happy to assist promptly.
