About Doc's Lakeside Cabin


Doc's Lakeside Cabin was built on a private 6 Acre Lake.  Surrounded by beautiful hills and the Shawnee National Forest Trail of Tears.  We are family owned and operated in beautiful Jonesboro, Illinois.

The inspiration for the location and name came from my grandfather "Doc" who would sit on his porch, on the other side of the lake smoking his pipe. Often he would say "that would be a great place for a lil cabin."  So as his oldest grandchild we took his advice and built a cabin, we believe he would be proud of, and it would only be fitting to honor him and his vision by naming it "Doc's Lakeside Cabin"

As our family surrounds Doc's Lakeside cabin we want our guest to feel "they are family"
As owner, I want to welcome you to a clean family cabin.  Hope your stay is a sweet memory, that you want to make over and over.
As builder/owner I hope you find          accommodations comfortable and 
relaxing. 
Committed to providing a clean comfortable home away from home
