This place was PERFECT for our family from all over the country!
We so enjoyed this home for our family reunion!! Family from Georgia, California, Ohio and Oregon stayed in the home. We had our reunion at the home on Saturday. Other family from near hear in Illinois gathered from around. We had almost 50 family from 2-year-olds through 88-year-olds! Got to celebrate my only living uncle's birthday! The wrap around porch was perfect all day long. Weather was good all weekend for us. When the sun got a little too hot we just kept moving around the porch to find the shade and nice breeze! Sooo much room to spread out! Bedrooms were great!! Event room on bottom level allowed all 50 of us to sit at tables. Some fished! We loved it so much we are thinking about coming back in Fall 2025 for a nearby family wedding! Loved it!!

Awsome
This was a perfect place for our family members from all over the US to stay for our son's wedding. Every room had its own bath. The kitchen had everything we needed. The great room had a giant sectional where we hung out and talked and played board games. Victoria is a very thoughtful host too. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Property
My family and I rented this property to get together for a weekend and absolutely loved it. The house had everything we needed, the grounds were perfect for our dogs and kids to run around, and the host always responded promptly to any questions we had. We are already talking about coming back in the future!

Perfect for SIU Law School Graduation
Our family drove about 4 hours to Carbondale. It was approximately 10 minutes from the graduation ceremony. It was perfect for all of us. I can’t imagine enjoying the weekend anymore than we did. It was perfect for us to celebrate and enjoy our son’s JD weekend. Thanks for everything!

Parents 50th anniversary celebration
The property was perfect for our needs and afforded everyone plenty of space and room to run. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to prepare our meals and extra refrigerator/freezer space to accommodate a long weekend. With family in the area, we plan to return in the future.

Fantastic Getaway
We had a reunion/retirement party at the Labrador Lakehouse Inn and I cant stress just how mich fun it was. The property was well maintained and the proprietor was easy to communicate with. Will have to stay here again when the weather is warmer to take advantage of the lake. Thanks!

Great for multiple families
We had a great time for our family vacation. The pond offered fun water activities for the days/afternoons we weren’t hiking. The rooms all having private bathrooms was nice although the bathrooms were very basic and lacked storage. Host was very responsive when we had questions. Fun collection of vintage memorabilia but they did cause some clutter especially with 3 families. Overall a good stay. It is a bit of a drive to some of the Shawnee Natl Forest trails if that’s your thing.

End of Summer Celebration with Friends
We had 5 families of friends join us for an end of summer celebration. We loved that we all had our own bathrooms and showers/tubs. It was big enough so that the kids could do their thing away from the adults, but close enough to keep tabs. We all hadn't vacationed together; and this venue with its size and emenities allowed for success. We loved it so much that we're planning to make this an annual tradition. Thank you Labrador Lakehouse!

The perfect stay!
We have nothing but praise for Labrador Lakehouse Inn & Wedding Venue. This lovely Victorian house accommodated our high school-aged Perfectos baseball team that played at SIU over the weekend. The space is spectacular with its beautifully decorated, spacious rooms and number of bathrooms. What a delightful house and property! Our hostess made sure the guys had everything they needed to fish the picturesque lake at the back of the property. The team also enjoyed playing corn hole in the back yard and all kinds of games in the basement. The open kitchen made preparing meals a breeze. We marveled at the response time of our hostess, as though she had her app open every second of the day. Not that we needed her that much, but she was so helpful and available to make sure we had what we needed. When we needed something, she actually came and dealt with it in person and then when our schedule changed twice, she allowed us to have a late checkout with no hesitation. It was a pleasure working with her and our team made great memories over the weekend at Labrador Lakehouse. The area is stunning with its lush, rolling landscape. There are several wineries in the vicinity with great food, live music and outdoor dining areas plus very cool antique shops. You feel like you’re pleasantly secluded in the back woods yet the college town of Carbondale is just minutes away with its lively culture, restaurants, and shopping. We cannot recommend Labrador Lakehouse highly enough.

About the host

Hosted by Victoria Johnson

Host profile image
I moved from Washington State to Murphysboro, IL in September 2019. I had never been to Southern Illinois and knew no one in the area. I fell in love with this gorgeous house on Zillow, went into escrow without seeing it in person, quit my job of 10 years and decided to just go for it! YOLO as the millennials say! After all, I was just about to turn 50 and I wasn’t getting any younger.

I have long dreamed of owning an Inn and Event Venue where my house could also be my business. Such a Hallmark movie fantasy of mine.

I take a lot of pride in what I’m doing, as this is my heart, my passion and my livelihood. I do my very best, every day, to make this vision not only come to fruition (which I think it’s in the process of), but to also be sustainable and wildly successful. And that means everyone’s experience here will provide them with beautiful and lifelong memories!

Thank YOU to my guests, friends, family, and supporters for being a part of my dream! And for being the very BEST part of my story!

Much love and gratitude,
Victoria (and my baby, Maggie)
