Great place to stay within the close proximity of the wine trail and being secluded at the same time.

Second time staying here. Great location next to Giant City State park for hiking and in wine country. Cute property and all the amenities you need. Not a place for someone adverse to stairs but otherwise perfect.

We traveled to the SIU area for our daughter's graduation, we could not have been more satisfied with our choice for accommodations. The rental exceeded our expectations, it was very nice, clean and comfortable. The location was fantastic, located in the wine trail area. The town of Makanda is very close and has some really cool little shops worth visiting. Very nice weekend trip!!!

Thank you Brian for your kind review. It was our absolute pleasure to host you at Shawnee Hills Hideaway and we hope to see you for future southern Illinois travels. Hope you enjoyed some ice cream while in Makanda. Their mint chocolate chip is the best.

This was a great location, close to Giant City for hiking and amenities in towns like Cobden and Anna. We used the house for our base while traveling the area to do hiking, eating, and go to wineries. We had stayed here before under different management in 2022 and were very impressed with the changes that were made with the new owners (2026). Everything was clean, comfortable, and easy to understand.

Clean, almost new, secluded and private (other than the other attached unit). Good communication from the host. It was a very pleasant stay and close to all the Shawnee has to offer. Would definitely stay here again.

House was as described and included amenities to make the stay even nicer - extra towels, coffee essentials, games, movies. Check in was super easy. Brandi was also helpful with winery suggestions - worked out perfectly! My husband and I had a great long weekend stay.
