My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was so spacious, clean, adorably decorated, had everything we needed and more. The location was perfect for day trips to Garden of the Gods, Paducah and excellent antiquing. We enjoyed walks around the property in the evening and dinner at several locations recommended by Denise. We hope to stay again.

Very nice cabin. Close to all the hiking we had planned. The walk to the lake was much harder than it seems in pictures and very steep. Everything else was very comfortable and we had the solitude we were seeking. Would stay here again.

We had such a wonderful stay at this property! Everything was very clean and comfortable. The owners were very helpful with local information of hiking locations and great places to eat. We visited many different areas of the Shawnee National Forest all within an hour drive or less. We will definitely be back again soon!

Very comfortable and clean space, hospitable hosts (who greeted us even though we had a late arrival), timely responses to questions, and we had everything we needed (and then some). It was a great place to relax and rejuvenate!

Everything about this stay was wonderful. Check-in, communication with the hosts, the cleanliness of the place, everything. There is quick access to the lake, to a state park, and to highways, and the place is surrounded by acres of woods and fields.

The cabin was as described and more! So clean and comfortable for my family of 4. We enjoyed swimming and fishing in the lake. Do recommend a good shoe for the walk to the lake as it is a bit steep. The owners were very helpful and so nice. We highly recommend this cabin and would definitely come back. Quiet and relaxing!

We loved this little cottage which provided us with a much needed get away. Very, very clean and tidy, it contained just what was needed. We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit while watching the wildlife and sunrises/sets. I would definitely return as the hosts were so kind yet not intrusive. I will note the cottage is located right by the main house. This was not an issue for us and we did not see anyone, but others may want something more secluded.

Wonderful property with all the needed essentials and more! The patio area overlooks a beautiful field and there was also a nice fire pit area. The bed was so, so comfortable! There was even a thicker memory foam pad for the sofa sleeper. Host was very responsive too! Would stay here again to hike in the area!

If you are looking for some quiet and seclusion this may be for you. Pasture behind the cabin with woods all around made for a serene location to unwind. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was just as advertised. Roomy and nicely appointed. Ours hosts were very cordial and responsive to our needs. Enjoy!

We had a lovely time staying here. The house was very clean, spacious, and not too far from many of the trails we wanted to hike in Shawnee. Great communication and response time from the host. Thank you!

The cabin was so clean you could eat off the floor! The owners provided quick and thorough information when needed. It has drivable access to Giant City State Park, Crab Orchard Lake and has its own private dock on Lake Egypt. I really enjoyed my 4 day stay.

Denise and Ken are wonderful hosts, and they have a fantastic place at a great location. The cabin has been thoughtfully created with all the conveniences and touches of a home. The beautiful porch was our favorite spot to enjoy tea/coffee in the mornings and evenings. The kitchen is well-stocked with cooking essentials and pantry staples for homemade meals. The mattress was really comfortable, helping us get a great night's rest. Loved the little drive under the canopy of trees along the hill leading up to the cabin. The location is great for access to Shawnee National Forest, Ferne Clyffe State Park, and other great spots in the area. Denise's food and hiking recommendations were much appreciated. Highly recommend this place and we look forward to returning in the future.

We absolutely loved the place. The host was so kind and very responsive to us no matter what we needed. The property is beautiful and we saw deer in the field both evenings. The snacks and bottle of wine left for us were special treats. We cannot wait until we have a chance to visit again.
