LAKE SHELBYVILLE COTTAGE MINUTES FROM BOATING, HUNTING, AND FISHING, Sleeps 2

The BLACKLOG CORNER COTTAGE is a quaint little cottage that gets its name from an old school that used to sit on this corner way back in the day when kids walked "up hill" both ways to school with no shoes on in the dead of winter...... so that's how the old story goes. It also sits on the old road that went from Shelbyville to Vandalia back in the "dirt road" days. Today the corner's roads are called Co. Road 1000 North and Illinois State highway 128. It is also setting just 400 feet from the Pond Shore Lodge (listing 1351741) and The Pond Pavillion INN (listing 2769008) if you need additional lodging. There is a 10 day maximum stay.

The cottage is nestled among trees with a peaceful country setting. There's a patio, fire pit, and charcoal grill. It has ample parking for many vehicles, boats, and trailers and has 2 stocked fishing ponds just steps from your door for your enjoyment.

There is a full eat in kitchen with all the pots, pans, dishes and utensils you will need to prepare a delicious meal. The kitchen has a full size refrigerator so you can stock your own food and beverages.

There is a stand-up shower in the bathroom and a laundry room with full size washer and dryer for your convenience.

The cottage has one bedroom with 1 queen bed.

A Wonderful Adorable Cottage
We had an amazing stay at The Cottage. The customer service was outstanding, especially thanks to Vicky, who made us feel right at home. She even took the time to introduce herself when she saw us outside. The cottage was immaculately clean and its décor was charming, making us feel very comfortable. The back area is perfect for relaxing, with a lovely fire pit to sit by. A huge plus was having a washer and dryer available! Everything was perfect, and we will definitely be returning in the future. Highly recommended!

The Cottage was clean and comfortable. Everything was easy to access. We wish there had been darker curtains in the bedroom to block outdoor street light. We would definitely stay on the property again.

Clean clean clean and comfy ! From the photos I was expecting a bit more of a remote location with a pond /water view. Pond was on the property but not close enough to sit with a cup coffee or glass of wine and enjoy Very noisy on a main road with lots a big trucks and traffic Still a good value

Country cottage
The cottage is perfect for a couple or small family. The house is super clean and convenient. The kitchen is stocked with pans and utensils which makes cooking meals easy. Hiking at Ballard nature center, Amish goods in Arthur, Lakes at the property and in town for fishing or just enjoying time outside kept us busy. Beautiful property and scenery.

Hidden Gem!
We can't say enough great things about this property. The owners are so nice and communication is fantastic. The home is impeccably clean and decorated so cute! The farm is so clean and maintained beautifully. The ponds are really cool and peaceful to just relax and drop in a line. We were thankful to find this property and will most certainly be back. Thanks Vicky!!

Cozy clean cabin
This was our second stay and will be looking forward to future stays . The cottage was very clean and fresh smelling when we arrived .. The grounds are kept up beautifully with the two ponds available for fishing .. More TV stations than could possibly watch.. It was warm when we were there and the A/C easily kept the cabin cool .. There is nice concrete patio with a charcoal grill, table and chairs to sit and relax ..The host is very nice and easy to get in touch with if the need arises .. (we had no need to contact her at all ) ..Highly recommend.
