The cabin was nice, exactly as pictured. It was a great location to go into Carbondale to eat, down the road to hike Giant City, or drive 30 minutes to several hikes or wine tasting in the area. We appreciated the friendly host and well equipped cabin.
This was our second stay in Cabin 3. It was clean and comfortable, with everything we needed. Tom is a great host and accommodated my fragrance free needs.
We had an amazing time! Cabin was super cozy. Clean, quiet, and peaceful. Tom is a wonderful host! We loved talking to him and hearing his great stories. We will be back!!
My son & I stayed at the property the night before freshman move in at SIU. The cabin was clean, cozy & comfortable. We fed the turtles and fish in the lake. It was a peaceful night before the craziness of move in.
No communication at all. Other people were there when I got there.
As a woman it’s scary to get to your VRBO rental and have 2 men come out saying they were renting it and staying there. I never got a phone number from the owner and ended up getting it from the guy who was already unpacking there. The door was unlocked as well according to those people. They called the owner and told them they were in the wrong cabin so they left, but i don’t know what they could have added or left in the place or if they even lied.
Lots of dust everywhere and not clean in terms of dusting. The shower curtain had a lot of black mold on it.
Very beautiful bedroom surrounded by windows and was amazing to wake up surrounded by nature and trees. The drive up was weird considering other people live around the area and leave their garbage out.
I was just uncomfortable and uneasy and wish I had contact with the host. I even texted the number after our stay to let them know I started a load of towels in the laundry for them and got no response.
Overall liked staying here, just not worth the price and felt a little unsafe.
The cabin was very cozy but unfortunately did not get to use the fireplace because of the warm weather. We are looking forward to come back this fall or winter.

The large area around the cabin was like a junkyard. Inside was fine but plain.
Cute cabin, tucked back in the woods. There are out buildings nearby but no cabins nearby. Lots of cool artwork and a beautiful stone fireplace. Host checks in to see how you’re doing. Great AC!

Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
Half of the outlets didn’t work. Pictures of the outside view showed lakefront and it was not even close to the pond. Grill that was advertised was unusable.
The inside of the cabin was beautiful. The outside could use a little work but we weren't bothered and the host was very nice. Would definitely stay there again if in the area.
