The Cabins and Cottages at Shale Lake 1499 Washington Avenue, Williamson, IL 62088

"This place is quiet and peaceful. The cabins are great and well equipped to fully cook meals and sleep in comfort. We will be coming back many more times for a quaint family experience. The only thing I hope for the future is a place to swim off a dock or beach."

"Our favorite quiet getaway. Been going several times a year fir over six years. Every cabin and cottage is thoughtfully and nicely decorated with a different theme. Very clean and well maintained. And pups are allowed in some of the cabins."

"Beautiful little cabins, comfy beds. Loved the big screen porch. Dog friendly! Nice lake. Loads of fish! Pretty winery, lots of rooms! Tasty food. We will be back."

"This is a wonderful find about an hour from home. We rented one cabin, son and his wife another cabin, daughter and husband another cabin. It was perfect! Cabins are clean, fishing is good, and owners are great! We also got excellent food from the winery. We will return when we can get cabins!"

"Stayed in Bungalow 14 for 4 days. Perfect private get away. Lots to do in the area if your an antique/treasure (junk) hunter. Had a couple hiccups, but owners took care of it all and made us feel welcome. The views are awesome and the area is very peaceful. Only got 1 night in the hot tub because the weather was not cooperating. But over all a great stay. We will definitely be coming back. Oh and go to the Winery. Good eats and people!!"
