Peaceful stay!
This was a wonderful and relaxing place and it had so much to offer!
The only downfall that we encountered is that the water pressure was very low during our stay.

Perfection!
This place is such a hidden gem. I was astounded at how well maintained the property was given its size. Absolutely beautiful! It was like stepping back in time to the summer camp in Dirty Dancing! The other side of our cabin was also rented out, but insulation was great, we couldn't even hear the other guests. Everything was cute and comfy and immaculately clean. It stormed (really bad) 2 of our nights and we just sat on the front porch watching, so relaxing. I cannot wait to come back here again with my kids! We'll definitely be back this summer!

Cozy Cabin Nearby Several Attractions
My sister and I loved the cabin and its proximity to several parks, including Johnson’s Shut-Ins and Elephant Rocks. It was also nice to be quite close to town, to be able to quickly grab some supplies or eat dinner out. We enjoyed walking our dogs on the on-site trails and being able to binge watch some tv late at night. We would definitely consider staying again if visiting the area in future.

Taum Sauk area cabin
Property exactly as advertised. Pet friendly. We knew this unit did not have a kitchen. If a longer stay desired It might make a difference. There are places to eat a short drive away. All of the natural areas you came here for are right there.
Easy, flexible, check in, check out process. Great property and amenities. Clean space, clear communication from owners, even some complimentary water and snacks.

Peaceful Stay
Perfect place to get away for a relaxing, peaceful stay. Close to Elephant Rock State Park and Johnson Shut-ins State Park. Host was very accommodating. Cabin was very clean and comfortable. Cabin does not have full kitchen, only small fridge, microwave, and Keurig. With a crockpot we were able to make it work just fine.

Cozy and Cute
The property was small yet cozy. The bed was comfy and everything was clean. We brought a crock pot for meals, since there is no kitchen. There is a mini fridge, toaster, and Keurig. Think about bringing some extra cups, plates, utensils, can opener, etc if you don't plan on going out. We really didn't have any neigh to while there, so it was quiet. Don't follow your GPS, read the directions given by the property owner, or you'll end up at the wrong cabin! We loved that Dollar General was about 3 mins away, Elephant Rocks was just over 10, and Johnson Shut-ins about 25.

Peaceful front porch
It is an cozy cabin with a mini refrigerator, Keurig, and microwave. Bring a can opener, an ice cube tray, and some bowls and some easy meals and you are set for eating.. I loved sitting on the screened front porch watching the trees, a deer, squirrels, birds. If you go to Johnson's Shutins State Park, remember it is not a waterslide. Hidden boulders are painful.
