GREAT CABIN!

My family had a wonderful stay at this cabin during spring break and can't wait to go back! The amenities and cleanliness were top notch. Our only complaint is that we didn't get to stay longer....

Perfect stay!

This is a beautiful cottage that had everything we needed for a comfortable, relaxing weekend. From chairs at the fire pit to more than enough towels for showering and swimming, we couldnt ask for more. Drinking coffee on the deck or by the pond was so relaxing. Close to the Shawnee wine trail and other attractions.

Perfect location

We enjoyed every moment. Centrally located to Garden of the Gods and Little Grand Canyon in Shawnee National Forest. Minutes from Crab Orchard Wildlife Refuge. Hiking every other day balanced perfectly with a day at "home" relaxing by the pool.

We had a great stay at this home. We traveled with three very young children including one baby and it was so perfect. Easy to get to great hiking spots and so nice to come home to and relax. We loved that our only neighbors were the horses.

Location was peaceful and private. Stayed to help move out our son from the dorm at SIU. Driveway big enough to accommodate our trucks and U-Haul. Home was clean. Pullout sofa bed was pretty uncomfortable and the other mattresses were very firm, but sufficient for a short stay. Deck , pool and swings would be fun for families with little kids. Good communication with host. Good value for the price. Would stay again.
