Nice little cabin
Nice little cabin conveniently located near Carbondale. Also close to Giant City National Park and lodge as well as many of the wineries in the area. Cabin was very clean and near perfect size for a couple or small family. Just was easy to communicate with and had no problem dealing with him.

Great stay!
This place was perfect for our weekend stay. The cabin was clean and cozy, thought it could be buggy due to the location but not one in sight. We used the pullout couch bed which was good for our needs but the mattress is thin so it was helpful we brought a second comforter to add more cushioning. Also, the host was very attentive and responsive. Place had everything we needed and I would definitely stay again!

Adorable Cabin!
This cabin is adorable - super clean and has everything you could need! Exactly as advertised, the pictures truly represent the space. I went with my dog to try and find a quiet place for the 4th of July - the property is very quiet during the day, but there were some fireworks in the neighboring community after dark. Not as bad as we would have had at home, so it was worth the trip. I highly recommend this cabin for a getaway!

Birthday weekend
Location was great. We felt very safe and place was really clean. Small, but perfect for a couple or couple with 1-2 small kids. While there is not a stove for cooking, we used the grill and even learned to make grilled broccoli. Sooo good. So close to the giant city park and wineries. It was perfect for a weekend get away. The refrigerator is college dorm size, so we had it packed to brim and everything stayed cold in the refridge section and frozen in The freezer section. Lots of room for walking and the view was so pretty. Thank you!!

An Excellent Choice!
I received immediate feedback from the host with all the necessary information. Mr. Young also made it clear he would be available to provide additional assistance if needed. And he was! We were all impressed with the cleanliness of the property and the nice little extra touches like a very well stocked snack basket and excellent coffee. The location is ideal. It is off the beaten track, but with easy access to many choice locations in Southern Illinois. With several cabins close by, it would work well for a multi-family gathering. All in all, an excellent choice!
It was close to many state parks and very close to Carbondale. Very quiet

Stay at Cabin #2
I had a wonderful stay at cabin #2! Everything was very clean and comfortable. The location was close to hiking trails, which I love and also close to town for convenience. Steve was a great host and replied very quickly when I had questions. Would definitely recommend and hope to return.

Quaint cabin
Quiet! Clean! Soft, fluffy towels and plenty of them! Had everything we needed while in town visiting family.
Thermostat was set between 75-78 and we couldn't change it. But the ceiling fan in the bedroom kept me cool enough.
If you are picky about pillows I'd bring your own bc the ones at the cabin were kinda flat. Couch wasn't super comfy but the recliner was decent. Has satellite TV but not a lot of channels so bring your laptop or switch to stay entertained. No hairdryer that I could find.
Overall recommend staying here!

Better than a cabin
Although this property was referred to as a cabin, I would hardly call it one! It was more like a tiny house or apartment, and it had everything we needed, was very clean, conveniently located, and nicer looking than the pictures.
