Gorgeous private perfect sized cabin for two. Comfy bed, loved the shower. Living room was comfortable for relaxing. Windows everywhere!!!!! LOVED them. Hot tub was fabulous after long fun days hiking in the state parks nearby. Stay here. You will not regret it.
Great cabin; clean, and cozy and private. The hot tub and fire pit were used daily. There are trails on the property. We went to Giant Park which is close; don’t miss the fried chicken at the lodge. We drove about 1.5 hours hike the observation trail at Garden of Gods; well worth the drive! Carbondale is a short drive; great time chilling at cabin !!
This property had the perfect location for our weekend getaway. Secluded and peaceful but close to lots of restaurants, wineries,and outdoor activities. Awesome host and had everything we needed for our stay

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
We had an amazing stay. The location is perfect! Close to great food, hiking, and site seeing. Very quiet spot. The house itself feels brand new and was very clean upon arrival. Checkin and checkout was a breeze.
We had a great time, everything was as listed in our booking. There was plenty of outdoor area for our 9 month pitbull to run around and explore. Early morning we looked outside to see deers roaming the property, it was amazing. Will be returning soon for a longer stay!
This cabin is impeccable. Everything is extremely cozy, clean and beautiful! The location is also amazing - so many trails and nature nearby. You just feel an enormous sense of peace and calmness all around you. My husband and I came with our dog Luna to the area for the first time. We can’t wait to come back and, when we do, we’ll 100% stay here again. Communication and information was also great and super organized. Highly recommend!!!
Cozy little cabin with modern amenities close to SIU
We stayed in this cozy little cabin during move-in weekend at SIU. Our son is a SIU student and we wanted to be close enough to help him move but also far enough away to enjoy some peace. This cabin provided everything we needed and more. It was a peaceful respite in the evenings after spending all day unpacking my son's new apartment. The bed was great, the little kitchen was perfect for what we needed and the hiking trail outside was a nice walk. We didn't get a chance to use the hot tub but we plan to return and use it next time around. The owner was very responsive to but we had no issues. I highly recommend!

Fantastic
I Will Be Back! And I shared this place with family and friends.
We stayed in the Cedar cabin and it's the most secluded of the other cabins. Everything was perfect. The cabin was clean, wifi was easy to set up, easy to login to our favorite steaming services and the hot tub was great. The cabin is very modern and aesthetically appealing. As far as kitchen needs for cooking, it had everything one would need. I love the body wash in the shower. Also the cabin must have had a soft water filter, which was Heaven.
Great spot for a quick romantic gateway. You are secluded without being far from Carbondale.
Nice that cabin is in the woods but not too far from grocery store or places to eat! Cabin and hot tub are spotless and is the perfect place to get away
So beautiful and intentional - great weekend getaway
We absolutely loved our stay at the cabin! It was my husband and pup and we were immediately welcomed by a wildflower bouquet on the porch and a trail right off the entrance. The cabin was extremely comfortable and the design was intentional to let you unwind and focus on nature around you. We hope to come back soon!

Amazing cabin on beautiful grounds
My wife and I stayed 3 nights with our two dogs. The cabin was extremely clean and everything was as described. The hot tub was great and worked well. Walking the trails on the property was one of our favorite things to do with our dogs every morning and evening. The cabin felt very private, but was only a short drive away from restaurants and groceries. The cabin is also close to several small towns to explore, and many hiking trails are nearby. We loved our stay and will be back.
Impeccably clean and beautiful inside and out. This quiet retreat was just what this tired teacher needed to relax and reset to kick off the summer. Loved every moment.
Beautidul, new cabin. Although advertised, no grill. Not alot of kitchen ware. Small towels. Hate to say anything negative becauae this is a really nice cabin.
