The property was perfect for our spring break trip. Super clean, very well furnished, perfect location, and we had the best time. My son loved being able to hang out at the pond and fish - and especially loved swimming with the owners dog, Kevin! Highly recommended this little gem.

The house was excellent value for the price and was a quiet, peaceful place to get away and recharge. It was cozy and comfortable with everything you’d need for “glamping. The only thing I would recommend is communicating to the host ahead of time if you plan on using the extra Murphy bed (twin) so it is made up fresh and waiting when you arrive.

Very cute little cabin. It had everything we needed for our stay, and was very clean and well-maintained. The owner was very helpful and quickly responsive. The outdoor area was very appealing, but due to lots of rain, we were unable to enjoy the nice porch and firepit area. I highly recommend. We definitely would love to come back.

Great cabin in southern Illinois!

This was the perfect place for me to stay while visiting southern Illinois. The cabin is located in a private area, but it's just a quick drive to Marion, which allows for numerous food, drinks, and fun. I loved the decor and atmosphere of the cabin - it also provided all of the things needed to cook meals, etc. I'd recommend this property to anyone!

Great little spot!

This cabin was just perfect for us two senior citzens and our dog. The location worked out well for us to explore Shawnee National Park. We are photographers there to find the perfect fall color. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck looking over the pond watching the deer and chickens. The cabin was clean and spacious, had everything we needed. The only thing we would change would be to have a walk in shower rather than the deep bathtub. Since the weather was so beautiful we had a fire in the firepit one evening and enjoyed visiting with the owners when they stopped by. We would definitely stay there again and would highly recommend it to others.
