The quaint and up and coming town of Havana is just a short drive (approximately 5.5 miles away) and has great things to offer. There are several restaurant options, a variety of hiking trails, parks, picnic areas, local grocery stores, darling boutiques and much more. Peoria and Springfield are both about an hour away to make for great day trips.

You can come in and relax the entire time or get out there and explore. There’s a little something for everyone.

Although we list our home for a maximum of 6 guests, it is preferred to have a maximum of 4 of those guests to be adults.

Guest access
Guests have access to the cottage, patio, front and back yards as well as a private beach area directly behind our home (water level varies at times which can change how much beach access is available). Keypad entry into the cottage with personal door code.

Please note guests are only allowed to use the beach area directly behind our home. Please do not go on or set up anything on our neighbors beaches.

Other things to note
**WE REQUIRE the booking guest to sign a release and waiver for use of kayaking equipment, paddle boat and lake activities and to acknowledge that themselves and all guests in their party accept the conditions stated prior to engaging in said activities.**

Be sure to read and review house rules. By booking with us, you are agreeing to follow the house rules.

Although we welcome kids to enjoy what the Havana Cabana has to offer, please note the house is NOT child proofed and there is a ledge without railing overlooking the water. Our home is DIRECTLY on the lake. Adult supervision is required at all times.

We highly recommend water shoes at the beach/in the water. The lake is DIRECTLY behind the home.

Although we have our home treated indoors and out, being by the water and nature does attract it’s fair share of bugs. We provide bug spray, fly swatters and tiki candles/lights but please bring aware that this is a thing.

We absolutely love to travel and spend time outdoors doing all of the things! We find so much joy in being by a body of water and enjoying what it has to offer! In our free time we love to go hiking, exploring and enjoying a cold drink on an outdoor patio! We love to soak up the moments and life!
