What a gem in Southern IL

We have been renting vacation properties for 25 years, including all over the So IL/Shawnee area, and this cabin, and its location, is by far our favorite in the area! Allison is WONDERFUL and worked w our needs for our stay (we had to make last minute reservations to attend funeral services). Gorgeous home, gorgeous property, even better owners. Thank you for making a tough 48 hours go so smoothly. We can't wait to rent from you again, under happier circumstances! reservation

Awesome getaway close enough to town

This cabin was beautiful, well kept, and on a cool mini resort with a farm. Fantastic view from the wrap around porch surrounded by nature. Plenty of space for a group of 5. Cabin is updated with all amenities. Location is quiet and far enough from neighboring cabins and farm. Close to town for anything you need and plenty of restaurants. Highly recommend!

Fun on The Farm

This cabin was lovely and fit our group of seven very well. You drive through a lovely farm to get to the cabin. Allison was very easy to communicate with and I would book this rental again. The location was great and if you aren't a farm person don't let that scare you, you can only hear the animals if you are outside. This rental is well suited for family or any age range. I have never stayed at another place that was as well stocked with stuff as this one. Most things you would need in a kitchen are there for your use as well as a great place to do laundry. We loved it!

Perfect Girls Trip

If you are looking for a beautiful cabin that is tucked away from the center of town but a quick drive to the action, look no further! I stayed here with my mom, aunt, and my 1.5 year old daughter and we had the best time! The cabin is beautifully decorated, clean, and spacious. The cabin is well-equipped so you have everything you need to relax and unwind. There is also an adorable farm next to the property. We would absolutely return here!

Great Family Getaway

We stayed at this property about a year ago and decided to stay again. Once again, we were not disappointed! The cabin was clean and cozy. It feels secluded, but is only about a 10 to 15 minute drive to Giant City. We lucked out with beautiful weather, but would have had fun even in the cold and rain. The gas fireplace keeps the place warm, and there’s plenty of space in in the kitchen. A lot of the basic utensils, pots/pans, plates, etc were available for our use. Got to see a lot of deer and different wildlife sitting on the porch. The entire family had a great time and can’t wait to go back!

Great cabin with easy access to hiking

This cabin feels like it’s out in the middle of nowhere, but it’s a short drive to Carbondale and to Giant City State Park and the Shawnee National Forest. It had good amenities and was cozy and comfy. I would definitely stay here again.

This property is a perfect combination of secluded and peaceful and also close to shops and restaurants. Peacocks and deer frequently visit the house from the farm nearby. It was a nice break from the stress of everyday life.

Absolutely Fantastic

The property was amazing. Everything was clean, and as good, if not better than the pictures. The view of the sunsets from the front porch and the chairs by the fire pit were stunning. There are several wineries close to the cabin, which made it an easy day trip out. We were far enough out that it felt like we were the only people around, while still being a short drive to stores and restaurants. All of us agreed that it was the perfect place to stay for some much needed R&R. The guide Alison sent out prior to our stay was very helpful. My only complaint is that I should have booked another night- we didn’t want to leave.
