The cabin has two bedrooms, each complete with a Sealy Posturepedic queen-size bed with Eurotop for your sleeping comfort, a very nice bathroom, and a completely furnished kitchen. The kitchen has tea bags, sweeteners, and regular and de-cafe coffee. The kitchen and each bedroom have an LED TV that receives local stations. The queen-size futon offers an additional sleeping option. There is an infrared sauna on the enclosed back deck and a hot tub. One of my cabin renters watched an eagle scoop a fish out of my wetlands pond. It then flew to a tree on the island in the pond and ate the fish. We certainly have an incredible number of wildlife visitors here. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Sauna ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Pets - Pet friendly - 3 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102120000/102117000/102116943/63ed0545.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 1 BR Hot Tub Cabin- Closest Cabins to Garden of the Gods-Shawnee National Forest Herod - Hot tub - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-19&endDate=2026-02-20&selected=102116943&PinnedHotelID=102116943&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112520000/112515200/112515147/1e36d8b4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Shawnee Wine Trail Cabin on Lake, near Shawnee National Forest with Hot Tub.

Very clean, everything properly working and just a great stay. Enjoyed the hot tub and sauna every evening after hiking in the Shawnee Forest. The property manager was very kind and always great at communicating any questions or concerns. Beautiful scenery and wildlife in the area. Great location for the Shawnee Forest and wineries. ##### Anita B. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### CHELSEA S.

The location is so beautiful and right next to the Heron Pond aide station! Jack was so kind and welcoming. The hot tub and sauna were a huge bonus and much needed for my sore legs after the race. I loved reading all of the stories from other people’s stay at the cabin—quite a few repeat visitors! My husband loved the screened in porch with the beautiful view. He spent quite a bit of time reading there while I was recovering before our journey home. We’ll definitely be back again next year! ##### CHELSEA S.

Oct 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Serenity in the woods Check in process was easy and Jack was a great host. The property is secluded and beautiful. There is not just one screened in porch, but 2! The sauna on the back porch was a nice feature to help warm us up after we got out of the hot tub. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of items to help us cook our meals. We didn’t get to use the grill but there is one there. The Cooperhead wine that Jack gave us was outstanding. We can’t wait to go back and visit ##### Christina W. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Laura D. Oct 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Jack is the sweetest! Upon arrival we got to hear some wonderful stories and taste some wine. The cabin was secluded, and the hot tub and sauna were great way to end a day of hiking. The front porch was the perfect spot to watch the sunset and star gaze. It's not fancy, but it doesn't need to be. It's a great spot to get away from it all and relax. ##### Laura D. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Derrick A.

It is always enjoyable to have a visit with him at the winery and listening to the many interesting stories he shares. We always look forward to returning. We will always be thankful for his hospitality! ##### Derrick A. Stayed 10 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Debbie M.
