Hot Tub Cabin- In the Heart of Shawnee Wine Trail
Woodland Cabins is the premier retreat cabin destination in Southern Illinois!!! Just 5 miles southwest of Carbondale and on the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail, Woodland Cabins sits at the edge of Southern Illinois rolling hills and the Shawnee National Forest. With four luxury accommodations and sitting on 44 acres of seclusion where mature woods blend harmoniously with expansive open fields, Woodland Cabins guarantees an unparalleled retreat experience.
Southern Comfort at Woodland Cabins: Located on the pond, Southern Comfort has direct access to our open field to the west. A separate and unique wood deck and fire pit, located right on the water, is perfect for feeding the turtles. Featuring generous multi-level decks, a distinctive hot tub and fire-pit enclave, and a charming front porch swing, Southern Comfort boasts a studio layout with a king-size bed, a cozy family room, and a fully equipped kitchen. Adjacent to the cabin lies a three-acre pond, inviting guests to enjoy fishing and leisurely strolls along the dam. Our wooded areas and fields are perfect for exploration and contemplative walks, where observing diverse bird species and wildlife becomes a cherished pastime. Regular guests include deer, wild turkey, red foxes, pileated woodpeckers, songbirds, and migrating waterfowl. For the fortunate observer, catching a glimpse of "Fraidy," the bobcat, adds an extra touch of wilderness charm! Our luxury accommodations are designated as "romantic retreats," providing an ideal sanctuary for couples, close family, or friends. Whether basking in the morning sun or bidding farewell to daylight, the serenity from your private deck, complete with its own hot tub, fosters an atmosphere of relaxation and romance. Let Woodland Cabins be your sanctuary for unwinding and creating enduring memories.

Relaxing spot
It was a nice quiet getaway. Loved the privacy. Very clean and accommodating. Feeding the many turtles in the pond was a very nice unexpected surprise. Hot tub was great but for me a little strong on the chemicals. The husband and I will definitely stay again.
