About this property

Couples Retreat Great Get Away Lake Side 3 King Beds Shawnee National Forest

This Mid Century Modern A Frame was the former home of my grandparents and has been renovated for you to enjoy. This lodge was named after my grandmother, Margie B. You will find it is the one of the most unique places to stay in Southern Illinois. Our three themed bedrooms are super fun. The "Daisy Cottage" on the main level is soft and romantic. The lower level bedroom has the soul of a Bohemian. We call her "The Gypsy Room". The loft, or as grandma called it, "The Crow's Nest" is a walk on the wild side and now is affectionately named the "Jungle" Room. All bedrooms have king sized beds. The lodge has the kitchen, dining room and living room on the main level. Our custom decor will have you falling in love with the inside as much as the outside. This lake side property is equipped with a dock to fish from and beautiful views. Our property sits next to Shawnee National Forest, Trails of Tears State Forest and LaRue Pine Hill, which has thousands of acres for exploring. Our lower level game room has a retro design perfect for hanging with your friends. Feel free to spin our vintage records, play games, have a cup of coffee while watching the fish play. We have bass, bluegill, catfish and crappie. The Loch Ness monster as also be spotted. We have wild life including hoot owls, deer, and the occasional bald eagle. Southern Illinois is a great location for birdwatching. The Shawnee Hills Wine Trail is a hop, skip and a jump away. Margie B's Mid Mod Lake Lodge was built in 1970.

About the host

Hosted by Tasha Faire, Margie B's Lake Lodge

Host profile image
We are Tasha & Jerome Faire. Being from Southern Illinois all of our lives makes us a great local resource. WE also love to travel, so we have an eye for what you are looking for. Our family has been blessed with a spirit of hospitality. We hope to help make your stay feel even better than you expected!

Why they chose this property

The Lodge sits up on the hill, almost like a chalet, overlooking our families 6 acre lake. This property has been in our family for 6 generations. We reside on the lake land as well, so we are nearby should you have have an emergency. The area is clean and safe as well as beautiful.

What makes this property unique

This 1970's Mid Century Modern Designed A frame has so many unique qualities. The 28 foot ceilings, the large exposed timbers, and the "Crow's nest" are super cool elements. We think you will enjoy our "out of the box" decor. The lake is a natural beauty. From time, my father's small Donkey has been known to wonder over to the Lodge. His name is Burrito.
