2 Bedroom Cottage in Decatur

Come stay at our newly furnished beautiful FireWater Lake cottage with a boat dock and Deck overlooking the lake. Set your own mood with our lighting, sit back by the fireplace, enjoy the amazing lake views, play with the new 65 inch 4K tv, Alexa, WiFi, LED HUE Lighting, top notch stereo system and connect to easily with your phone and enjoy the warm feeling of this 95 year old cottage. Walk too experience the new Devon Amphitheatre when open, Beach house, Children's Museum, Sculpture garden, Decatur Zoo & Train, mini-Golf and flower garden within the Nelson park area. Bring your boat for a weekend on the lake or go swimming off the dock. Take a walk on the bike and walk path to the new 911 memorial. Enjoy the best views on Lake Decatur all while relaxing in our new furniture, new lighting and entertainment system featuring a 4K 65 inch Smart TV and Smart TV's in both bedrooms. Our cottage is fully furnished and is easily accessed. This vista offers a refreshing and stimulating experience that is a much better value for the cost than any other option in central Illinois !! We live just across the lake and will be easily accessible for anything you need during your stay. I do want to caution that the house sits on the top of a bluff with a lot of steps, I wanted to note this for anyone with small children or that are not a fan of a few extra stairs.
