Lakehouse at Lakecrest is in a beautiful location set in a private cove on Lake of Egypt, just a short distance from the family friendly towns of Creal Springs and Marion, Illinois. Several area attractions, marinas, restaurants, and activities are within a few minutes’ drive from the property.
• With 93 miles of secluded wooded bays and inlets Lake of Egypt is one of Southern Illinois’s hidden treasures. Boating, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and swimming are prime activities, and water-skiing, tubing, and jet skiing are also available in certain areas. Three marinas on the lake – all accessible via boat or personal vehicle - offer everything from food trucks almost every Friday and Saturday, full bars, live music, and delicious restaurants serving Mexican food and amazing pizza.
• Adults will enjoy a leisurely day of touring the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail set among the scenic countryside of Southern Illinois. Spend time discovering the distinctive character of each winery, exploring the charming towns and unique local restaurants that dot the trail, and leaning about the region’s rich history.
• The town of Marion has some amazing eateries to check out including The Vault Café, a breakfast restaurant that resides in an old bank building, and Pookie’s Beer, Burgers and Bocce with three bocce ball courts and live music.
• Take a day trip to the Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge where 44,000 acres of land and water are home to a wide variety of flora and fauna. The Refuge serves as a winter feeding and resting area for waterfowl, and opportunities to view geese, bald eagles, songbirds, raptors, white-tailed deer, and wild turkey can be found in many areas of the Refuge. Points of interest, trails, auto tours, and viewing blinds have been developed throughout the Refuge to enhance wildlife encounters.
