Host was flexible and quickly responsive. Every need was anticipated and provided for. The deck and hot tub were great! (Firepit didn't work but we didn't need it.) My husband made huge breakfasts each morning and had everything he needed. It was nice to be able to bring our dog! Perfect, quiet location near wineries and Giant City State Park. We and our adult daughter and our dog had a wonderful time!
Hot tub was clean. We did scoop out stuff daily to keep it cleaner. Kitchen is set up nicely. Everything you would need in it, (except a casserole dish, LOL) Bedrooms are awesome and I love the bathrooms. Outside patio is so relaxing. Love the little gas fire pit. Outside grill was clean and we used it everyday!
Very nice and clean property. We will likely stay there again when we come down to visit my daughter in college. Very close to SIU campus. The only things I wanted to bring up are the internet was in and out most of the time we were there and also there is a leak under sink of middle bathroom. But those are not big issues at all.
Very clean, beautiful, cozy cabin. Many amenities. Our extended family enjoyed visiting us on the deck and in the hot tub. Perfect family reunion space!
This cabin was perfect for my wifes 40th birthday getaway! We invited two other couples to join us. We explored the views of southern Illinois, went to many local wineries and ended out evening sitting around the fire pit and soaking in the hottub! It was good to get away from reality and decompress with some close friends. We shared many laughs and life stories. Talked about our kids and goals in life. Steve(owner) stopped and introduced himself as we were unloading our things on the first night! He made it perfectly clear that if we needed anything at all to call and he would be sure we were taken care of. We will definitely be back to enjoy another weekend.
The cabin was well-stocked and is in a great location, close to many of the hiking trails and vineyards we visited. We had a couple of hiccups first with Wi-Fi and then the dishwasher, but the owner was very responsive and provided excellent communication. Also, the hot tub was a welcome respite at the end of our hiking days :-)
Friends just wanting to get away from our kids and responsibilities and this cabin was perfect. Close enough to town that we went out for some very nice meals and exploring and a fully functional kitchen for all the snacking and lounging we were looking for. Perfect mom getaway.
This is the greatest cabin! Plenty of sleeping space, and well stocked. The outdoor space was a beautiful oasis. This is the nicest and cleanest hot tub Iâve ever been in! Canât say enough great things about Steve and his cabin! I love the town of Makanda, and I will be back soon!
Our family was in town to tour SIU - this house was cozy and so nice! Beautifully decorated, well-stocked, and so many thoughtful touches! The hot tub and fire âpitâ were such a nice luxury. Thanks so much!
