This mid-century modern A frame home was named after the owner’s grandmother, who built the house & lived there since the early 70’s. The lodge has all the modern amenities you expect, but the charm you will love of a mid-mod home. This place is full of neat surprises. The 3 themed bedrooms, all with king beds are more than you find in a basic rental. The loft or “crow’s nest” as the family calls it, is its own little jungle getaway. It overlooks the kitchen, dining & great room. The main level bedroom is a romantic cottage theme. The lower-level bedroom makes one think of the show “Junk Gypsy”. The lower level includes a bonus game room that is totally retro with barrel furniture & albums lining the wall. The quirky but tasteful maximalist decor is a complete twist from where you have stayed before. Margie B’s is a great romantic getaway for a couple or up to 3 couples. They can accommodate up to 6 guests.
Where is Margie’s?
Right out the door of the lodge is the family’s 6-acre lake, with a dock for fishing. The property is nestled adjacent to the Shawnee National Forest, Trail of Tears and Pine Hills. Over recent years, Southern Illinois has blossomed into its own little Napa Valley with a winery seemingly over each hill. In the fall, there are so many local events that draw people in. The flower fields & fall festivals are a great change of pace from city life.
Come be one of the first to stay at Margie B’s lake lodge. The hosts are welcoming and down to earth. Their commitment to providing a unique experience is easy to see. Check out their website at www.MargieBsLakeLodge.com.
