Wonderful hosts, excellent stay with our 2 dogs

Matt and Kris were promptly responsive and accessible for anything we needed. Cupcakes and a birthday card were thoughtfully left in the cabin for my husband’s birthday, along with a basket of snacks and s’mores supplies. The property is well maintained and had just received a fresh porch staining when we arrived. The grill was easy to use and the shower was TO DIE FOR. It is directly on the lake, but be mindful that the walk back up the hill can be taxing depending on your ability. The peninsula was excellent for having a great time on the lake and letting our lab swim. We’ve never stayed someone more than once, but we’re strongly considering staying here again.

Sept 20

Both my husband and myself enjoyed ourselves . The cabin was very clean and definitely cozy . The hosts were very nice people and glad we got the opportunity to meet them and chat a little bit . I loved all the deer we saw on a daily basis , granted our doggies didn’t know what to think ! The lake is gorgeous and it’s so peaceful and quiet out there. We would definitely stay again .

Romantic Getaway

This property was so great to stay at. My significant other and I were very impressed, we used the fire pit, canoe, outdoor shower, and all amenities provided inside the cabin. The bugs were bad the first day but that was after it had rained, the next day we stayed out until 10 or 11am doing s’mores and there were barely any bugs at the campfire and the cabin porch. The owners also provide firewood and fire starter. The coffee maker/microwave oven stopped working for us but the owners said they will replace it! Also the outdoor shower ran out of gas for hot water at the end of our shower. The owners even offered to have someone stop by to drop off anything else we needed. The owners also provided marshmallows, chocolate, graham crackers, and roasting sticks to put the marshmallows on. Not including the other snacks and goodies! It’s a small place, so I personally would only make it a romantic getaway!

About the host

Hosted by Kris Shellabarger

We built our log cabin in 2008 down at Lake of Egypt. We built a rental cabin to share because we have so much fun at the lake! We rent our Red Roof Retreat and have had so much fun renting to such amazing people that we refinished the Little Moon to share in the beauty and fun of the area.

Why they chose this property

This was a little shed that was on the property when we bought it in 2008. We finished the inside and stayed in in while we built our log cabin next door. Since then, many of our friends come to visit and love to stay in the Little Moon cabin on Lake of Egypt because it is similar to camping with all of the benefits of a tiny home. Open the windows and you feel like you are laying in a tent... only you are laying in a fluffy lofted bed! When we decided to rent this one also, we changed the inside to suit all types of guests and their needs.

What makes this property unique

Outdoor (private) shower that is so great to jump into after a day on the lake. It's especially fun when it's raining outside and it's always warm! Morning coffee will turn to afternoon lunch and evening cocktails on the deck facing the lake. You will see birds, wildlife, fish and turtles in the lake and all sorts of lake activity if you sit long enough. The Lake of Egypt night sky is beautiful and you will have a hard time tearing yourself away to go inside and sleep!
