Property Description
Welcome to Camp Thirsty, a one-of-a-kind getaway property currently operating as a vacation rental in the heart of Southern Illinois’ outdoor recreation region. This is a TURN-KEY opportunity. Located just minutes from Route 145 and Interstate 24, this property offers easy access to the Shawnee National Forest, horse trails, hiking, hunting, and endless outdoor adventure. The property features a 3-bedroom, 2-bath mobile home decorated with charming horse and stable-themed touches, creating a warm and welcoming retreat atmosphere. Connected by a large wraparound porch is an impressive game room and gathering space complete with a built-in bar—perfect for entertaining guests, family weekends, or group getaways. The spacious porch includes multiple seating areas and an outdoor hot tub, creating the ideal place to relax after a day on the trails. Together, the home and game room offer approximately 1,500 square feet of usable living and gathering space designed for fun, relaxation, and memorable weekends. Equestrian and outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the approximately 900 sq ft stable, as well as an additional 384 sq ft pole barn for storage, equipment, or hobby space. Positioned near some of Southern Illinois’ most popular recreation areas—including Lusk Creek, Garden of the Gods, and miles of horse and ATV trails—this property is ideal as a short-term rental investment, weekend camp, hunting lodge, or private retreat.
