Great cabin; clean, and cozy and private. The hot tub and fire pit were used daily. There are trails on the property. We went to Giant Park which is close; don’t miss the fried chicken at the lodge. We drove about 1.5 hours hike the observation trail at Garden of Gods; well worth the drive! Carbondale is a short drive; great time chilling at cabin !!

So beautiful and intentional - great weekend getaway

We absolutely loved our stay at the cabin! It was my husband and pup and we were immediately welcomed by a wildflower bouquet on the porch and a trail right off the entrance. The cabin was extremely comfortable and the design was intentional to let you unwind and focus on nature around you. We hope to come back soon!

Amazing cabin on beautiful grounds

My wife and I stayed 3 nights with our two dogs. The cabin was extremely clean and everything was as described. The hot tub was great and worked well. Walking the trails on the property was one of our favorite things to do with our dogs every morning and evening. The cabin felt very private, but was only a short drive away from restaurants and groceries. The cabin is also close to several small towns to explore, and many hiking trails are nearby. We loved our stay and will be back.

Cozy little cabin with modern amenities close to SIU

We stayed in this cozy little cabin during move-in weekend at SIU. Our son is a SIU student and we wanted to be close enough to help him move but also far enough away to enjoy some peace. This cabin provided everything we needed and more. It was a peaceful respite in the evenings after spending all day unpacking my son's new apartment. The bed was great, the little kitchen was perfect for what we needed and the hiking trail outside was a nice walk. We didn't get a chance to use the hot tub but we plan to return and use it next time around. The owner was very responsive to but we had no issues. I highly recommend!
