Comfortable Cabin near hiking trails

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. While my husband took time to go hunting nearby, I was able to enjoy hiking trails, the chocolate factory and around the lake. We definitely plan to come back.

It was quiet, clean, and perfect for time to spend with the outdoors to enjoy our mornings sitting on the porch listening to nature. If you enjoying hiking would recommend Tunnel Hill

If your looking for remote and quiet this is the place. The only drawback is the stairs to the upper bedrooms but, other than that it was a great place

Nice retreat

Very clean and orderly cabin. Situated in the countryside. Private and secluded. We stayed here to go diving at Mermet Springs. Its conveniently located between some really nice state parks and cool small towns. We enjoyed diving, hiking and visiting Supermans hometown of Metropolis. Would stay here again.

I had picked this stay on a whim, not knowing how it would be but interested in the layout — I could not have picked a better place. Everything is stocked in the cabin, including condiments and spices, you are given freedom to use the resources so long as everything is put back when you’re done. The property is maintained very well and plenty of other hot spots are within driving distance. We had a great time — very scenic. Definitely would recommend and come again.

Shawnee base camp for hiking/biking

The cabin was great. It was clean, comfortable, and worked great for our needs. The drop down ladder/stairs to the loft were not an issue for our group. The kitchen had just what we needed to make breakfast and dinner. We basically only slept there because we explored all day. We did bbq and have a fire at night.

About the host

Hosted by Richard and Shelly Stewart

Host profile image
Over 20 years ago, we purchased this little paradise at the end of a quiet dead-end road, and we've been calling it home ever since.

When I'm not hosting, you’ll find me spending time with family or just soaking in the peace and quiet. I love sharing this beautiful area with visitors and helping them experience the same joy I find here every day.

If you have any questions or need recommendations—whether it's the best trail to hike, a cozy spot to watch the sunset, or where to find the tastiest local eats—we're right here on the property and always happy to help.

Looking forward to welcoming you and making your stay as relaxing and memorable as possible!

Why they chose this property

What I love most about this neighborhood is the sense of peace and connection to nature. Whether it's the sight of deer grazing nearby, the breathtaking sunsets over the forest canopy, or the quiet trails waiting to be explored, every day here feels like a retreat.

And the best part? We're right here on the property! If you have any questions, need recommendations, or just want to chat about the local wildlife, we're always around to help make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

Looking forward to hosting you and sharing this special place!

What makes this property unique

If you're craving a peaceful getaway surrounded by nature, you've found the perfect spot. Our place is tucked away at the end of a quiet dead-end road, offering direct access to the stunning Shawnee National Forest. This 800 acre section of the forest is a hidden gem in southern Illinois, known for its beautiful oak-hickory forests, lush canyons, and unique rock formations.

Whether you're into hiking, photography, bird watching, or just relaxing in a serene setting, our location provides the perfect base. After a day of adventure, you can unwind in the comfort of our retreat, knowing you're just steps away from the forest's beauty.

Looking forward to hosting you and helping you make the most of your stay!
