The Cargo Hold is a gem: comfortable, spacious AND stylish. We’ve been in & out of, and through far southern Illinois many times, but never had the chance to explore Shawnee NF and Ohio Riverfront. Made for a great long weekend & this house was a perfect base - convenient to the interstate but also close to the hills, hollows & quaint towns that make up this region.
