Waterfront vacation rentals in Jackson County

We really enjoyed our stay! Beautiful and clean - looked just like the pictures. Walking distance to great restaurants. Will definitely stay again! The host is super responsive and helpful.

Oh my where to start!! Do not stay anywhere else besides here!! Dixie is an all star host! Extremely accommodating, makes the most delicious cookies, has the most beautiful, relaxing home, a beautiful pond that’s fully stocked of fish, has an adorable doggy named huckleberry that gets the zoomies, she was so fast at answering questions, asking what we needed, and even brought down a fire pit & the sticks for the kiddos to make s’mores, my friends from Florida & Indiana said they will 100% be booking again! Thank you so much Dixie for making our first meet up an outstanding one!! 🫶🏼 I might even just book to stay here for a night away from my own house even tho I live in town, it’s that good!!! So don’t waste time book here!!!

Place was very nice very clean. Definitely say there again.

This place was way more than enough space for three of us, in fact at the price point it’s a great deal for the size. There is a beautiful waterfall right by the entryway, I kept my bedroom window open all night so I could hear it. Everything was really clean and we were able to use the kitchen to cook breakfast. I would definitely stay here again. They have some older TVs that are CRT based, so if you have an old NES with Duck Hunt bring it!!! Duck Hunt won’t work on new HDTVs. We were on motorcycles so we parked out front. The back parking lot is gravel and there’s a little bit of a rough entryway if you’re on bikes. Laundry room is big and works great. I wish we had more time to spend around the area. It was nice and quiet and very clean.

This is the second time we have stayed at this place and it is the best place in town. We slept very well during the evening and enjoyed the amazing views during the day. Location is ideal and the parking garage guaranteed downtown parking in cape. Definitely recommend.

Absolutely love staying at Kara’s place. Looks exactly like the pictures. She responded back fast whenever I would message her. Would definitely stay again.

We absolutely loved staying here!! Very clean and quiet, peaceful and beautiful!! Everything we needed was at the place and everything was super cute and very clean. I really appreciated Tammy’s little binder of instructions and recommendations for places to go and enjoyed the coffee bar. They really thought of everything!! Pictures looked like the stairs were outside, but I was pleasantly surprised to see they are indoors. I will say for future guests, GPS (we use the Waze app) lead us to a completely different private address. We passed the street the place was on so I easily knew where to go, just don’t trust GPS! Street sign is very visible thankfully and be prepared for gravel roads and a fun backwoods experience with gorgeous scenery. We loved it, so breathtaking, secluded and just what we needed! Would definitely stay here again!

Our stay at Whirlwind Farm was beyond our expectations. Dixie was very responsive and made sure every detail was satisfactory for us. We highly recommend staying here when you are in the DuQuoin area.

We enjoyed our stay. Very peaceful and we especially liked the large back deck. Seeing the deer and wild turkey's were an added bonus. Definitely would stay here again!

The property was in a great location! The area is beautiful and peaceful! We loved the outdoor seating, lighting, and landscaping. The no wake zone made for safe and relaxing kayaking. We would definitely stay again!

Elizabeth’s airbnb was amazing for our group! It was in a great location only 2 mins from downtown Cape Girardeau, and was perfect for a larger group.

Amy was very helpful, responsive and kind. She had many suggestions on things to do in the area as well as restaurants. Very organized! The place was cute, cozy, clean and very well stocked. Everything you need is pretty much in the place. Amy has added touches that other hosts do not. My wife and I enjoyed swimming and kayaking with the kayaks provided on the beautiful lake. We also loved the hot tub at night when it cooled down. It was very roomy and clean. We took numerous walks around the area...just gorgeous scenery and wildlife. We went hiking one day, did a few of the wineries and a distillery on the wine trail one day. We grilled on the flat top a couple times and that was well maintained. There is also a cute firepit on the property. We love this area so much we try to come down every couple years as the area is just breath-taking and a great reset from busy life. I would highly recommend and definitely stay at Amy's place again.

Our stay at this lake house was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the thoughtful touches and attention to detail. The living room’s large windows, provided breathtaking views of the lake. It had every appliance and utensil we needed, along with thoughtful extras like spices, oil, and coffee filters. The bathrooms were equipped with ample towels and toiletries. We enjoyed peaceful mornings on the deck, sipping coffee, cruising the lake, and watching the wildlife. The quiet surroundings made it easy to relax and unwind. We can’t wait to come back and stay again!!

This home is so beautiful, clean, spacious and the location is great! We loved that we were able to bring our boat and use the dock. We had the best time! Would highly recommend. :)

Michelle was a great host, helped our friends use the closest boat ramp and made sure we had everything we needed.

excellent Little getaway cabin. very private and secluded. two very nice ponds very close for fishing. tried fishing for about an hour and caught and released 5 nice Bass. I would definitely say again this time I'm in the area. I was just out of town for work but felt like vacation after work in the evening. thank you for the great spot.
