Good wheelchair accessibility
Property was accessible. The shower was great. The cabin was in a great location, close to lots of different activities. The furniture was easy to move to meet our needs. Steve was super responsive when we had an issue, and he fixed it right away!

great place to chill
We came down to visit friends and the cabins were great to come back to each night . The cabins are close to town but far enough away . I enjoyed a peaceful sit on the deck and a nice walk . The management responds quickly to any question and it was really easy to check in and out. I will say if you are shorter person like myself bring a stool the bed is kinda high.

The cabin is in a convenient location near town and parks. The first night we had an issue with hot water. We contacted the owner and he quickly resolved the issue. We would recommend this place to our family and frends.

Perfectly cozy
Everything about this place was perfect. The new white living room furniture kind of took me out of the cabin feel but comfy nonetheless. The brand new mattress in the big bedroom was a dream. The mattress on the futon it's too stiff to sleep on. The smaller bedrooms mattress was decent. All the supplies in the kitchen was great to have. We had already started planning next year's trip and staying at these cabins before we even left. Highly recommend.

4 day stay
It was good for the price. Nice size. I didn't like that our cottage was made to accommodate someone in a wheelchair. No one in my party was in a wheelchair. The bathroom sink had no place to put your items because it was all made to accommodate a wheelchair. No bathtub because it was a handicap shower. Also, there was no stove. The owner should provide some kind of portable plug in electric or infrared stove top, some pots and pans, so people can cook. Otherwise, everything was good.

Nice and comfortable short stay
I rented this cabin for a short Saturday to Monday stay while waiting to pick up my kids from a nearby summer camp. Cabin was comfortable but spacious, with a great little deck off to the side. All the amenities you could need for a weekend and close to Carbondale and limitless outdoor options.

Perfect cabin getaway
The pictures of this cabin don’t do it justice. It was such a nice, clean property in a nice area of town. The host gave us all of our check-in information far in advance and even included a snack basket for us. There were little amenities that were nice to have such as some board and card games and a grill outside. We enjoyed taking walks around the property in the evening and sitting out on the deck. We’d recommend it to anyone wanting a relaxing cabin getaway!

Cabin was clean and nicely decorated. EVERYTHING one could need was furnished. Location was near enough to Carbondale but still felt "woodsy" . Be sure to check out the night sky. I've never seen so many stars.

We enjoyed picking blackberries along the golf course and walking the dog around the pond. Very conveniently located close to Giant City and Carbondale. We had fun! Watch out for ticks.
