This cabin has everything you need to make your stay restful and soothing, with 750 square feet of living space all on one level.

A comfortable couch for lounging space. The full size kitchen has beautiful hickory cabinets stocked with everything you need to cook and serve your meals. With a refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave and dishwasher, you'll be able to prepare wonderful meals if you choose. Of course we also provide a toaster and coffee maker.

A true Gem!

This cute little cabin was Everything and more. Beautiful location nestled in the Shawnee forest just like a Hallmark setting! Cabin has a rustic feel, but all the amenities you need! Was very clean and we were impressed with how organized it was using QR codes for instructions! We enjoyed seeing several deer and the country feel of hearing turkeys and roosters. The best was being on a path for the winery trail- so much fun!! We loved this place and will.be back. This cabin is a true Gem!!

A peaceful retreat

The husband and i were looking for a cute cabin near the Shawnee forest to get away for a few days to rest and relax and we found it. It was quiet and far enough from town that it made the hustle and bustle of life seem distant.I would recommend.

Sweet retreat

This property was lovely. We saw lots of deer every evening, and there's a hobby farm up the road that we visited. There was also a barn cat that hung around. Be careful, though. He tries to sneak in. There's food and treats for him in one of the kitchen cabinets, and a little shelter for him on the porch. The cabin itself was so cute and cozy. It was so nice to relax by the fireplace each night. The hot tub was very nice, and clean. While there were other cabins nearby, it still felt very private. It's the last cabin at the end of the road, so it feels a lot like you're in the woods all by yourself. Great proximity to lots of trails. We did two waterfall hikes. The waterfalls were frozen, and gorgeous..We would absolutely stay here again!

Winter Cabin Getaway

Very nice, cozy cabin in a quiet rural area. The cabin is located at the end of a road next to a farm that had peacocks, turkeys, and other animals which we could see from the road. Since we enjoy outdoor activities, we liked that the cabin is not far from Giant City and Shawnee National Forest. The online Welcome Guidebook that the host provided was very helpful.

Seclusion…close to it all

Great, quaint cabin, that is well maintained and tastefully appointed. Setting on the covered porch looking out over the trees and pasture made me feel like I was 1000 miles from anywhere. The hobby farm next door was really cool. There were all kinds of animals on the property, many roaming free. I even saw a skulk of foxes as I pulled into the property. A quick 8 minute drive and you were in Carbondale. Very cool.

"Just what we needed."

These are the words me and my wife keep repeating after our stay at Couples Retreat. No stress, no mess this place was perfect. The hustle and bustle of life was put on hold, and we were able to just focus on us uninterrupted for a few days.

Secluded, but close to everything

I stayed at the cabin for 2 nights while working out of town. When I arrived, there were several deer out front. My stay was peaceful and quiet. It was exactly what I needed after a day at work.

Perfect Getaway

Got married on Friday the 13th. Went for a short honeymoon for a couple nights. When we arrived the first night there were deer everywhere and a sweet old barn cat to met us at the front door. Place was clean and up to date. Hot tub was great. Close to wine country and much more. Cabin sit next to a small farm with peacocks. Pretty cool. Will be back.
