We were as comfortable in the cabin as we are in our own home. It was great having laundry machines (we were staying with 4 kids ages 5 to 12). The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Be careful the water out of the faucet can get steaming hot. We enjoyed the fire pit. Would recommend renting both cabins for 4 families- the deck and fire pit is shared. The outside looks rustic but the cabin interior is quite well appointed.
The cabins are located in a very quiet, woodsy area. One fear we had was that it might smell musty. We couldn't have been more wrong. The cabin was so inviting and incredibly clean. No musty smell at all. The pictures online show the property well. But, it is even more beautiful in person. The beds were comfortable, linens and towels were high quality and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. There is a nice gas fireplace and a nice fire pit outside. I would definitely recommend this property. Roger and Shirley (owners) were delightful to deal with as well.
The property is gorgeous! It worked out great for two couples looking to relax for a few days. One bedroom upstairs and one downstairs, with a full bathroom and living space for each couple. Very clean. Comfortable beds. Large decks to sit and have a glass of wine or cup of coffee and listen to the little stream and the breeze blowing through the trees. Can't say enough good things about this place!
This place was so clean, we felt like the first people to ever stay. All the supplies we needed were there, fabulous decks, a fabulous fire pit area. Plenty of room for our group of friends and family. I was so glad not to have wifi, we spent time talking instead of on our devices.
We could not have asked for more.
The cabin was really nice and well set up. The only thing we were missing was a dishwasher and an area to store our groceries. That wouldnât stop us from renting again though.
The cabin was the perfect setting for our familyâs time in southern IL exploring the wine trail. Great amenities. The fire pit area is awesome. Highly reccomend! It would have been nice to have wifi available.
Very clean and well maintained cabin. Secluded but not too far off the beaten path. Many furniture pieces and the countertops were all handmade by the owner. Very comfortable and nice mattresses plus very nice bedding. Lots of fresh towels in nice size bathrooms. One of the cleanest rentals Iâve ever stayed in. Very quiet and peaceful location. No Wi-Fi though and phones had no internet service. Was still able to make phone calls, text, and use map app with Verizon. Definitely would recommend and stay here again.
This wonderful cabin provided an excellent location to the Shawnee Wine Trail and Shawnee National Forest. Our stay was relaxing and included all the amenities and fun board games! I look forward to booking this cabin again.
Very spacious! Love that each level of the cabin had its own deck and the stairs to the fire pit. The only downfall was no WiFi. I get that people come to relax but I really missed my ability to send text messages.
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. (Nov 2021 weekend) It is secluded yet convenient to the Highway 127. The cabin is very clean and well-maintained. Spacious living areas and porches. Kitchen has new full-sized appliances, a lot of counterspace and is well supplied with pots, pans, dishes, flatware, glasses, etc. Plenty of fluffy bath towels available. Games and books on the shelves for us to enjoy. We will stay at the cabin again if we return to the area. Thank you for making our trip so enjoyable!!
The cabins were absolutely comfortable with quality bedding, great appliances and comfortable furnishings. Sat outside by the fire till the a.m. hours and just enjoyed the fantastic setting.
Such an inviting space! The owners really stocked the cabin well with everything from dark towels for makeup removal to charcoal, camping chairs, board games, baggies, tea and even aspirin! They really went above and beyond other experiences I've had before! Will definitely stay here again if in this area. Only complaint was the lock on the front door as there were times it worked on the first attempt and others took several attempts and wiggling of the door handle.
