Cottage rentals with a hot tub

The Yellow Cottage @ Cottages on Petite Lake
great place and I loved being able to bring our dogs. they loved the gated yard to run around in while we chilled in the hot tub. we'd love to visit sometime in the summer to check out more of the lake activities.

#4 Adorable Lake Cottage-Cypress Resort & Marine
This was our second visit to Amanda’s and just like the first time, it left my boys with fun memories. We will be back next summer.

Prairieview Cottage Retreat - Hot Tub Sunsets
Didn’t have to worry about the accommodations so we could enjoy getting together with family.

Luxury Lakeview Bungalow #14 near St. Louis
We had a lovely stay. it's super cute, private, and quiet. we will definitely book again. there are 13 other cabins to chose from. We also enjoyed the town and near by venues. Cool place❣️

A great place to get away! Was so peaceful and relaxing! A wonderful way to get away from everyday stresses. Got some of the best sleep of my life as well. The scenery was breathtaking!

Great home for a little getaway! It was clean, inviting, and cozy. We felt right at home and relaxed. Thanks again!

Rock River Escape
Thank you for the opportunity to stay at your house! 🏡 Everything was clean, cozy, and very comfortable. We really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. A great place to relax — we were happy with our stay and would definitely recommend it! 😊

Port Byron Guest House
Great place to stay with a little family. Very clean and friendly people.

Historic Humble Home near Downtown Peoria
We loved this house! It was a great place for our family, with everything we needed, including a couple of baby gates to help us corral our three year old and little doggie. Such a charming home with a beautiful little fenced in yard in a peaceful, friendly neighborhood, close to Glen Oak Park and all its fun activities. The hostess was always friendly and responsive to our online questions and made check in and check out a breeze.

Samsons Whitetail Mountain Gate Cottage #2
It was a very beautiful location with much to do like hiking and enjoying nature. There were deers everywhere around the Airbnb which made it much more relaxing to be able to see them graze around you. I am so happy with my stay and will be booking again hopefully sometime soon.

Quiet Lake House By the Beach
This was our 4th time staying at Kristen's lake house. We attend the Moccasin Creek Music Festival at Lake Sara each year and for us Kristen's lake house is the perfect place to stay for the festival. The lake house is always super clean and in perfect shape when we arrive. Firewood for the firepit out back is provided for free and they have kayaks there too. Lake Sara is a wonderful place to stay, a beautiful lake with a public beach, a disc golf course, a regular golf course, an amazing brand new public playground right by the beach and Pinky's restaurant that is right on the lake.

Carla's Cottage
Carla was a fantastic host! Highly recommended this cottage for Augustana functions. I would definitely book again!

Spacious Hillside Home Overlooking Private Woods
This was our second time staying at the Fuller House. We had a magical trip with highlights including getting cozy by the fireplace and listening to records, setting up our tent in the backyard and roasting marshmallows over the fire, reading and napping in the hammock, and spending hours running around the property with our toddler and finding wild flowers, walnut shells, bugs, and swinging on the tree swing. We love this home and Krista and Jeff are very thoughtful and responsive hosts. We had a minor plumbing issue and Jeff came over the fixed it right away. Love this place and will definitely come back!

Quiet little village
We loved our stay here! quite little town, but close enough to the city! The host, Hailey, was super friendly and left super clear instructions. It was a great weekend spot!

Roberts' Cottage at Matanzas Beach
Such a cute little place to stay. Incredibly clean and thoughtfully stocked. The bed was very comfortable and lots of extra pillows. It was the perfect little place for our anniversary getaway!

Cozy cottage in peaceful setting.
For being one of the smallest, most rural air bnbs we have ever stayed in- Though it really wasn't even small (3 bed, 2 rooms, 2 bath!) I have to say I was thoroughly impressed! This was honestly one of the nicest air bnbs weve ever stayed in! It was quiet, private, cozy and while I was initially disappointed having overlooked the no TV part i quickly grew to love the vibe this place brought over our two days here! The kids enjoyed having their own space upstairs while we got to be downstairs. There's an adorable little area that my husband and I quietly had our coffee in and the kitchen was adorned with brand new appliances that were squeaky clean. The owner clearly has great taste bc everything from the handsoap to the hand towels was amazing scents and good quality 😂 This was definitely worth the money and we cant wait to come back next summer!

Cozy Cottage getaway close to River, Casino,antiq
Such a charming and unique place! This older cottage-style home was filled with antique character and decorated in a way that made it feel like stepping into a sweet little time capsule—or even a thoughtfully curated antique shop. The table was set with lovely dishware and napkins, and every detail felt intentional and welcoming. It was cozy, comfortable, and perfectly suited for my quick overnight stay.

Sunset River Cottage
Amber’s place is beautiful and great for a peaceful getaway. Enjoyed watching the sunset from the back deck. Plenty to do in Peoria. I would recommend this place to friends and would consider staying here again. Very clean and well decorated. Also recommend Sugar Fire-Wood Bistro for delicious pizza (Peoria) and Blue Margarita (Germantown Hills) for delicious authentic Mexican.

Peaceful Cottage in the Woods w/ City Convenience
This is an excellent Airbnb at a truly special location, nestled between two valleys. It was serene and peaceful. We saw tons of birds that I would never see how I been in the middle of the city. They insured that the house was completely immaculate. The beds were very, very comfortable. I never made any contact with the neighbors, but they all seemed really nice! I spotted some wild turkey a few deer and of course the groundhog! The place has a lot of style and some really cool features. We really enjoyed our stay and we’re very grateful for the host!

Serene Lakehouse Retreat Minutes from Everything
Great little home on a quiet lake. Would recommend staying here!

Private Retreat - 9 miles from Garden of The Gods
10/10, one of the standout airbnbs I’ve stayed in. Definitely the most helpful hosts. Emma’s guidebook that was provided upon booking helped us plan our trip. Everything was clean and stocked with what we needed. Braxton and Emma went above and beyond and installed a firepit prior to our arrival after we inquired about one. If you’re going to Shawnee Forest, book this spot!
