Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Rend Lake

We’ve been staying here for the last 3 years and it’s been wonderful. It feels like our own place. The host response quickly with any questions we have had. If you’re looking for nice clean place, peace, and quiet this is the place to stay! Can’t wait to go back!

The Turkey Farmhouse was more spacious than I expected. Everything was well stocked--dishes and utensils, towels, board games. There were also spaces to sit quietly separate from the main areas in the house. As a Gen Xer, I really enjoyed the arcade games as well.

Wonderful house and location to SIU. Weather didn't cooperate, but served its purpose!! Thank you for the hospitality and the amazing weekend that was very comfortable for our family of 10! I highly recommend this place, especially for large groups and SIU events!!

Great place! Lots of room, comfortable, and spotless. I highly recommend!

Amazing place! The house had a lot of history but plenty of sleep space for our family. The Land was breathtaking! We will be back!

nice house by the lake

We loved staying here. Our hosts are beyond kind and very responsive. There are small things that make the place feel like home, such as kids toys and crayons for families, great kitchen appliances, super comfy towels, and seasonal decor. The bed was comfortable. We had a small issue on arrival, but Kristofer fixed it right away and with graciousness. Super responsive and willing to go above and beyond. Highly recommend for anyone traveling in the region. My family would stay again.

Marla is a great host. We have stayed with her multiple times and each stay is wonderful. Clean home, very responsive host, and close to downtown Centralia. We definitely recommend this property and host.

This home exactly what we were hoping for! Great kitchen and plenty of space to gather with family. Comfy beds!!! Brenda was so nice and super helpful, and really went out of her way to make sure our family felt at home. We’ll stay here again on our next visit, for sure!

The perfect place for a peaceful weekend getaway! I really enjoyed walking through the woods, playing fetch with their sweet pup, and soaking in the hot tub after hiking in the nearby Shawnee National Forest. Kevin was super helpful and responsive. I would love to come back sometime!

Loved staying at this location. So close to restaurants and shops and outdoor adventures. Very quiet. Amazing views of stars. Plenty of sleeping spaces. Very responsive and helpful host!

Beautiful and extra clean! My favorite airbnb so far. It would be a wonderful summer vacation place for families to enjoy all the amenities such as fishing pond and pool. And close enough to Shawnee National Forest and Marion for different adventures.

What wonderful, peaceful retreat! We were looking for somewhere to unplug and we found it! I honestly can't wait to go back.

Kevin's property was perfect. He and his family were very responsive and helpful when we needed some assistance with the RV. We came in late our first night but with Kevin's instructions had no problem finding the spot. the location is very peaceful. We wanted to do some hikes and see fall foliage and Kevin's place was a perfect base camp. We will definitely be back. I'm already shopping the idea with a few other families to find a weekend when we can rent all 3 RVs!

If you’re looking for a peaceful, family and dog friendly, design focused place to stay, this is your spot. The garden was incredible with spring ephemerals and flowering cherry blossoms blowing in the wind. This was the perfect home base for exploring wineries and the Shawnee National Forest. The loft was the perfect spot to set up our young toddler’s pack-n-play, though fair warning that there is little sound insulation from the kitchen and main living to the upstairs while your little one is sleeping. We wouldn’t hesitate to book this glorious pool house again with our babe in tow! 10/10

Look - you're going to look at the pictures and description of this place and think "this is too good to be true." I get it - we certainly did. But if you're worried about misleading information, the only fear you will realize is Tom and Beverly are *underselling* this amazing AirBnB. Everything is as good or better than described. The pool - OMG the Endless Pool is amazing! But even if you're not a pool person, Tom and Beverly have put in a lot of thought to making your stay amazing. Indoors you have air hockey, axe throwing, darts, and board games in an absolutely spacious game / enternainment area with vaulted ceilings, comfy couches and chairs, a desk, and incredibly large TV plus super-fast WiFi (500Mb). And that's just 1/3 of the indoor space! I'll run out of characters before I'm done, so here's what else - outdoor space is just as amazing - two private lakes, playground equipment if you've got kiddos, just gorgeous walking, etc. This is definitely one of the best - book it!

Our stay was just what we were looking for. It was a nice, cozy, quiet place for a getaway. Location was very close to Shawnee National Forest, and Giant City State Park. Amenities were great, and had everything we needed for cooking. The house was clean, tidy, and comfortable. Communication with the host was excellent!!

Great location for hiking and wine trail. Very comfortable with extra attention to bathroom amenities. Anita was very accommodating and prompt with responses, even allowing early checkin. We ended up really appreciating the garage which made loading/unloading and entry/exit effortless.

This is a truly magical location that offers a serene atmosphere perfect for relaxation. It's easy to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature right on the property through forest bathing, and it's also conveniently located near state parks, as well as various food and drink options. Bonnie and Paul have created a stunning, private space where I felt completely safe as a solo traveler, knowing they lived nearby. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and hope to return in the future.

Jen is a fantastic host. The place is wonderful, plenty full of things around if you forget something she has you covered with most essentials. The only thing that could of went better for us is the weather. It rained hard the whole time we stayed but we still had a wonderful time, this place works for bad weather and staying indoors. The final day was sunny when loading up to leave, we caught a big Bluegill before leaving . She is planning on putting in a dock and that will make this place much better even know it's already perfect. Thanks for sharing your home and we will return soon. We had a great time!

I hosted a slumber party for my 10 year old and 9 of her friends, THEY HAD AN ABSOLUTE BALL!! The second night, my husband, mother and 3 children enjoyed a night ourselves, and no one wanted to leave the next morning! Thank you for providing such a comforting atmosphere for my family and I to enjoy!

Very comfortable place for us to spend time in Central Illinois and visit lots of family in surrounding towns.

My family and I had a wonderful time at this peaceful getaway. The camper was spacious, clean, and had everything we needed. The area is close to the highway, but still feels very secluded and private. Jared was an amazing host, offering suggestions for local activities, along with extremely high level of communication and transparency, will definitely be going back!

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