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!

A fantastic week in Southern Illinois

What a great property. Quiet, beautiful and relaxing. The cabin is perfect—homey and comfortable. We will be making a return visit and would encourage anyone to give this property a try (we’ve stayed at another of SIVRs properties and know that they are attentive to small details and problems of any size, regardless of which property you may choose). Oh, and let’s not forget about Kevin, who might be the sweetest dog we’ve ever met. He and our Weimaraner, Leo, had the biggest time all week. Kevin deserves a separate 5-star rating!
