Lovely stay!
Thank you so much for our cozy stay! Conveniently located to Marion, but also quiet and private. Just the way we like it! Look forward to staying again! Thank you!!
The host was extremely organized and sent me several messages ahead of time with all the info I needed for my stay. The place was super clean, tastefully decorated, and furnished with everything I needed for my short stay. I had my dog with me, and she had a nice yard area out front to stretch her legs. I was just passing through for one night but would love to come back for a getaway weekend with my husband to enjoy more what the property and surrounding area have to offer.
We absolutely loved our stay at the Yellow Door Cabin! The space was modern, clean, and so thoughtfully designed—it had such a cute and cozy vibe. Tucked away in a peaceful country setting, it offered the most beautiful sunsets each evening. The location couldn’t have been more perfect—close to incredible wineries and delicious local cuisine, yet quiet enough to truly relax. It was the kind of place that makes you want to slow down and soak it all in. I would definitely stay again!
Perfect property for a cozy getaway. The property is located near several wineries and the Shawnee National Forest. It was comfortable and accommodating for it stay. The owners were very nice and easy to communicate with. They brig
The tiny cabin had everything we needed for a short 2 night stay in the Lake of Egypt area. Not far from the property is the Cross Eyed Bear for good food and drinks, but with a great kitchen set up with a grill, you might not need to or want to go out to eat. Beautiful hiking is about a 15 min drive away, and you’re also about 20-30 minutes from picturesque wineries. Loved our stay, and we will have to be back!
Great relaxing vacation. Went to several locations in Shawnee National Forest. The host has a link with favorite hiking and waterfalls. This was a great tool.
Glad i got to experience the stay in a tiny house.. more than enough room. Had everything we needed and clean.. sitting on the deck and watching the sunset. was just what we needed after a day of sightseeing and hiking..
Wanted a quick trip, between trips to South Dakota, to see the fall beauty of the Garden of the Gods and other scenic locations in Shawnee National Forest. This mini cabin was beautiful clean, comfortable and just perfect for our quick turnaround. Would recommend to anyone that wants a location full of beauty located in Southern Illinois.
This is my second or maybe 3rd time staying here. I always enjoy it, checkin process is completely online.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Nice setting. Not too far from Ferne Clyffe, which was where we wanted to go. Nice size kitchen and bathroom, with good water pressure. Good WiFi. Cabin could have been cleaner. Loft was dusty with a dirty Kleenex on the floor. We had to wash the dishes before we used them. Back deck smelled strongly of mildew, so we couldn’t sit out there.
We really enjoyed our time at the cabin. Although it wasn’t fairly big, it contained most of the necessary amenities we needed. The view at the fire pit was excellent as the sun set. There were many insects inside, but it didn’t really bother us. We cooked a lot so a dishwasher would be very helpful. The water of the shower head was extremely small and it took us lots of time to finish the shower. Overall we enjoyed our stay and we hope this review will help.
The people we rented from were absolutely amazing!! The property is just beautiful and the tiny is as exactly as explained in VRBO. We would definitely rent here again!! We loved everything about the place!!
Great little place to stay. Has a nice pond area with swimming activities and fishing. Cabins are somewhat close but they have good tall privacy fences between them. Great outdoor seating. Clean inside and out.
