Fantastic Cabin in Southern IL
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a wonderful stay at this charming cabin in southern Illinois! The property was spotless, well-equipped, and in a serene location—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The cozy interior and stunning outdoor views made our time here unforgettable. A special shoutout to Steve, the owner, who went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. His communication was prompt and friendly, and he provided excellent recommendations for local attractions and dining. Even after we left, Steve followed up to address suggestions we offered to improve the cabin, showing how much he genuinely cares about his guests' experiences. The location couldn’t have been better—it is close to the Southern Illinois Wine Trail, which has 11 fantastic wineries and two amazing parks: Ferne Clyffe State Park and Giant City State Park. Both parks offer incredible hiking trails and breathtaking scenery, adding many adventures to our trip. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with outstanding hospitality and plenty to explore nearby, this is the place to stay. We can’t wait to return and highly recommend it to anyone planning a getaway!

Great cabin, in the heart of everything
Great cabin. Clean comfortable spacious well stocked. One minor appliance wasn’t working, text to manager — and it was replaced before we got back from our day activities! Short drive to Garden of the Gods, lake, etc.

OUTSTANDING!
Everything is provided, bring yourself and some groceries and that's it!. The cabin and property were better than advertised! Very peaceful setting and close to most things that you'll want to visit. Steve (our host) was most accommodating and very easy to do business with. You won't regret staying here.

Peaceful, relaxing place until.....
We were scheduled to stay Thurs - Sunday. All was great until Friday evening as we settled in for the night to watch a movie when a man walked in the front door that apparently was staying in the house next door (same property). All were a bit frazzled to say the least. Then came Saturday, morning was great, hiking and whatnot. That afternoon, relaxing on the deck and here comes a huge dog and the neighbor running along the yard.."our" yard behind the deck. Same area we had been walking our small dogs. Come to find out it was not their dog, however, there was no way we were letting our dogs out again with him running loose. Then he is just hanging on the back deck. So no. The last straw was the block of Rat Poison that one of our dogs brought out from the bedroom. I wasn't sure what it was, so text the owner while husband was googling it. Owner says, "yeah that's under the furniture." Need to caveat place is not small dog friendly because any dog or even a child could get under the raised bed. I could easily reach under the raised bed. So we decided to leave Saturday afternoon....Unexpected person walking in, Large dog not allowing us to take ours out, Rat poison, etc. We were done. Upon loading up the truck as soon as we took our dogs out to put them in the Large dog charged us. I text the owner to let him know we were leaving a night early due to all the things that were going on. No response from Owner after that. Not all his control but a Sorry for the trouble?

My husband and I wanted a few days away for the grind of work, and we found the perfect place! The cabin is quiet and has great views. Plenty of things to do nearby - hiking, wineries, fishing, etc. Loved sitting on the back porch drinking coffee in the morning, taking in the views. Will definitely be back!

Peaceful and convenient
Peace and quiet here. All I heard were birds chirping. The back deck looks out over fields and hills and was great to relax and listen to the happy birds. Cabin is great value, with two separate sleeping quarters WITH their own bathrooms. Pictures don’t do it justice. Perfect for wine trail weekend. Another VRBO house on the property (?) but nobody was there when we were, so it was great! Will absolutely book again!
