We have the BEST guests. One of our last guests picked these fresh flowers. Even now dried they are gorgeous. 🥰

The love-bombing of The Yellow Door cabin is coming along beautifully! More to come as we continue to give her the outdoor glow-up she deserves. 🥰

Officially fire pit season, friends.

Yesssssssss!

🌡️7 DAY FORECAST: Spring lovers rejoice, THIS forecast is for you! Monday will be a much WARMER afternoon as temperatures soar into the mid 50s.

😎Even WARMER weather is expected Tuesday and Wednesday as temperatures climb into the lower 60s, the WARMEST since the first few days of the month.

☔️A weak cold front will bring a few showers Wednesday afternoon and evening. The key word is “weak” as temperatures only slip back a few degrees behind the front.

🌤️With the snowmelt, it is going to be a MUDDY mess this week. Sunshine and milder weather will help begin the drying out process. We’ll kick off the month of March with ABOVE average temperatures next weekend!

Have a great week!

So I'm not the betting kind but this is Super Bowl Sunday... 😏
Every year, I've noticed a trend that we seem to get an influx of bookings on Super Bowl Sunday. I have a therory about this phenomenon.

I think there is a combination of cabin fever, recovering from holiday spending, being with friends and/or family, and a higher chance to normal of alcohol consumption. 🍻

So I'm going to ask you to guess how many bookings we will receive today. The nearest guess will receive a $50 gift card to any local (non-chain) southern Illinois (Rt 13, south) restuarant, winery, or boutique store of your choosing.

I'll put the regular average in the comments below.

Picture is the latest inspiration to Sunset Bay's soon to be glow-up.

There is absolutely no reason we laughed so hard at this.
