Great communication.we were able to book last minute notice. Hot tub was nicepeaceful sitting on patio listening to the birds. Just what we needed. Thank you
We loved everything about this cabin! If you are looking for a spacious, beautiful cabin to spend time in with family, this is your place. The woodwork throughout the cabin is stunning. High ceilings, open spaces, plenty of space to cook meals, play games, and gather together. The Christmas tree this time of year was an extra special touch. Everything was clean, the bathroom toiletries were hotel-like, which I loved. The beds were extremely comfortable. We would stay here again!

Thank you so much, KIm. We hope to you host again! :)
The house is wonderful! We enjoyed having enough space for all 3 of us couples to have a friends weekend, 3 bedrooms with queen beds, a hot tub and a fire pit. Allison was an excellent host, making sure that everything was perfect for our stay and answering any questions immediately.

Great guest! Karen left our place neat and tidy. Welcome back any time.
We had such a wonderful girls’ weekend at this cabin! The fire pit was perfect for a cozy evening by the fire, and the hot tub was just what we needed to relax and unwind. We loved watching the wildlife- so many deer, and even a few peacocks from next door came by for a visit! We got some great photos and truly enjoyed the peaceful, scenic setting. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway.

Hi Matthew, Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear you found the place very clean and that the AC worked well to keep you comfortable. We hope you had a great stay and look forward to hosting you again in the future!
One of the best houses we’ve rented from! Very clean, plenty of linens, and everyone had more than enough space. Close enough to town to order DoorDash, but still has the ‘cabin in the woods’ feel. Best of both worlds!

This cabin feels like it’s out in the middle of nowhere, but it’s a short drive to Carbondale and to Giant City State Park and the Shawnee National Forest. It had good amenities and was cozy and comfy. I would definitely stay here again.

The cabin location is lovely. It is clean and welcoming, quiet and tucked away. The weather was heavy rain and cold our entire stay so we had no outside time. Very nice place!

This property is a perfect combination of secluded and peaceful and also close to shops and restaurants. Peacocks and deer frequently visit the house from the farm nearby. It was a nice break from the stress of everyday life.
