About the host

Host profile image
My husband and I are from Southern Illinois. We are blessed with a beautiful, large family. We have been raising Yorkshire Terrier dogs for over 30 years. We have 7 grandkids that we adore. In 2023 my husband started building Carlton Cabin. The majority of the labor was done by him. I am impressed daily by his hidden talents. This year we will have been married 40 years.

Why they chose this property

If you listen quietly you can hear a woodpecker, owl, hawk or even see some glorious peacock walking down the road. Get back to nature by enjoying one of the many trails in the Shawnee National forest.

On our property you are only a few short miles from anything you may need. A neck of the lake is across the road and through a small area of woods.. The property is surrounded on all 4 sides with wildlife. Red foxes live across the street in a cave under an over hanging bluff. We are frequently visited by at least 10 deer. Last night I noticed that there were 4 new babies.

What makes this property unique

While staying at our cabin, you will feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, but you are actually rather close to many cities close by. We provide everything you could need to have an enjoyable stay. The kitchen is extremely stocked and you will be pleased with all your coffee options.
My wish is that you feel at home as soon as you step in the door. Every room, every minor detail has been thought about.
We just ask for you to respect our cabin. No smoking indoors.
We look forward to sharing our cabin and our Little Egypt destinations with you.
You have many options in our surrounding area. If you would like a suggestion, please let me know. I will gladly share with you my favorite things to do.
