We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The wood panelling and the vaulted ceiling and the view were all so pretty. Very nice bathroom and kitchen. Lovely, very clean bedrooms and bedding. Super clean throughout. My only complaint is that the hot tub cover needs replacing. It was really difficult to open and close it. But, it was hot on a very cold January day.
Three couples went to stay at the beautiful house and were in awe from moment we stepped in. It was so beautiful and clean. The views from the back porch and hot tub were so amazing. It was the perfect place to stay to do the wine trail. We appreciated all the communication from our host. Would definitely stay again.
We could not have picked a more perfect place for our stay. We enjoyed the view, home and location. Perfect!!

Magical Experience
The accommodations were really incredible and the outdoor scenery spectacular. We had such a magical experience seeing eagles fly back-and-forth and play in the canyon by the house. The sounds they make are really unique and their communication back and forth was a peak experience for us. The sunset was amazing and the hot tub outside was very rejuvenating. Overall, it was incredible and we would love to stay there again if ever given the opportunity. Our dog also had plenty of places to play outside.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Very nice and newer property between Carbondale and Giant City State Park. And near several wineries. Very clean and well accommodated. Didn’t get to use all of the amenities but was still excellent.
We arrived at the property and had the easiest time entering. We loved the views from the back decks. We enjoyed a rainy morning with hot coffee on the deck during our stay. The hosts provide everything you need for a short stay! Great location for the local wineries and hiking trails as well! Highly recommend!
This was a great place for our girls trip. We enjoyed the beautiful view, large gathering space in the great room, and comfortable sleeping quarters! This location was great for hiking nearby, many restaurants, and access to anything you need! We loved eating on the porch, relaxing in the hot tub, and sitting on the patio in the rocking chairs, looking out at the scenery. Easy access and direction as well as a wonderful guide for our stay sent to us upon booking (so much helpful info for planning a great trip in southern Illinois).
Peaceful and Scenic Location Close to Lakes and Town
Very nice location perched on top of bluffs and at lease one shelter bluff that Indians once used. Ideal location for getting to lakes for fishing and close to town for awesome pizza. The house itself is set up very nicely, especially with the lower and upper decks, focking chairs, fire pit and enjoyable nature. Will return again for sure.
We rented this property for a quick girls weekend. There were 5 of us and we all had plenty of space. Everyone said their bed was comfortable. I loved the mix of indoor and outdoor gathering areas, and the view was so nice! The property owner did a great job of communicating and when I had questions, she responded quickly. Great stay!
We ladies had a great couple of days in wine country. It was so nice for all four of us to have our own bed. The house is roomy and was very clean with all the amenities needed. We would recommend it! Be aware, it is closer to the road than we expected, but there was no traffic noise. Also, there are no shades on the main floor windows. Nice location. Close to the wine trail and Carbondale, even a Dollar General. Great stay!
My spouse and I recently had the pleasure of staying at this property for two nights. The cleanliness and upkeep of the place immediately struck us, radiating a warm and inviting atmosphere that suggested it had been recently updated or remodeled. The kitchen boasted an impressive refrigerator and stove/oven, complemented by a convenient washer and dryer.
The bedrooms were tastefully furnished and decorated, enhancing the overall comfort of our stay. A highlight of our visit was spending time in the spacious great room, which served as a cozy retreat during a weekend marked by near-zero temperatures outside, thanks to an efficient furnace that kept the interior pleasantly warm.
We also had the opportunity to enjoy the hot tub on Saturday, which offered a magnificent view. Although the cold weather prevented us from using the deck, it's a feature we look forward to experiencing on a future visit. We intend to rent this property again, encouraged by the manager's prompt and helpful responses to our inquiries.
