About
We are located at the end of a bay on a stocked, private lake, if you have an IL fishing license you are welcome to fish from our yard or off our dock. Because we are at the end, we do not care to swim in our bay but you are welcome to use our kayaks or canoe, just ask. The stars at night are amazing as it is pitch black but we are on a county road so you will hear cars going by, not often but enough to not call it totally quiet. We have 1 1/2 acres so plenty of room to roam but all pets must be on a leash. Please make sure to watch your children around the water.
We do live in a private community but since we are on a township road, you do not have to drive through to get to us.
Suggested Local Attractions: There is a little general store and gas station within walking distance. We have a couple of breweries and wineries, Timber Lake Playhouse, and hiking at Mississippi Palisades Park, all approx 30 minutes away. Our community also has a golf course and restaurant that is open to the public. Walmart, Menards and the town of Freeport are 25 minutes away.

HOST
Just us
Details:
We retired in 2019 and love traveling the US in the fall, winter, and spring, while staying at our home on the lake in the summer. We are always looking to experience something we have not tried before, seeing things we have not seen yet, and revisiting beautiful sites worth a second look.
We love BDW so much we decided to become a host ourselves in late 2020.
