Jeff is a WI native, and I hail from MN. We met at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, and made southern IL our home. We've lived on the Lake of Egypt for over 20-years, raised our 17-year-old son here, and made countless memories with family and friends. We feel like we are on a continuous lakeside retreat in the Shawnee National Forest, which provides endless beauty, adventure, and fun.
We chose to become hosts because we wanted to give other people the lake life experience, encourage them to find their inner adventurer, and to explore all that beautiful Southern Illinois has to offer. We hope guests can enjoy fishing, boating, swimming, camp fires, wineries, hiking, family time, friend time, relaxation, and most importantly, making memories that will last a lifetime.
