The A-frame cabin was the perfect amount of space for my friend and me. We've been wanting to do a girls getaway for a long time and this was the perfect stay for us. Quiet, beautiful scenery, plenty to do around this area! The cabin was very clean, everything worked well, we had everything we needed and more! The hot tub was perfect under the night sky. I love the view from the top windows from the loft bedroom. I saw a lovely lightning storm, the sun rise, and the shining moon. I have no complaints at all! We will be back for sure!

Perfect Getaway

We really enjoyed our stay! The only hiccups were upon arrival there was leftover McDonald's trash on the counter that we had to dispose of, and the dishwasher was full of dishes from a previous renter. Very small complaints that do not take away from the overall enjoyment of our long weekend!

Beautiful spot

We loved the quiet spot close to the pond. The fire pit was relaxing at night. There was a sweet little kitten that wondered up to visit and we saw lots of wildlife! We truly enjoyed it!

Does not disappoint!

The privacy and beauty of this property is outstanding. Couldn’t love the place more and my wife (birthday surprise) was absolutely enthralled with the beautiful nature surroundings. Winery’s nearby, zip lines, close to Goreville grocery story and hiking opportunities were abundant. Allison was extremely responsive and a real delight to communicate with. Definitely will be back to this or another one of the properties under her charge.
