Basicly the property was what we wanted but it turned out to have been infested with fleas . We got eaten up pretty good before we discovered the source . We enjoyed the area.

The cabin was situated close to some hiking trails and not far from Shawnee. I stayed there with my two four-legged hiking buddies. Plenty of room, everything worked and was clean. Place had WiFi made it easier to download my body cam footage straight to my laptop. All in all, I will stay there again. Steve was very helpful and made sure I liked the cabin. He even pointed out flaws — apologied for them; even though they were not noticeable to me. He made the stay even more comfortable than it already was. I would recommend this place if you are looking for somewhere to chill at after spending the entire day exploring the national forests in the area.

I very much enjoyed staying at this cabin. It was clean, comfortable & close to the Shawnee National Forest & the Wine Trail. The bed & furniture were comfortable. The kitchenette allowed me to have all meals in, as it has a half-refrigerator, microwave, sink, coffeemaker, plates, glasses & mugs. The bathroom towels were luxurious & there was ample soap, shower gel, shampoo & conditioner. The heat & air-conditioning were easy to use. I was able to sit out on the deck every morning, even when it was raining, because part of it covered. I enjoyed hiking & wine-tasting. This is a great cabin in a fantastic spot!

The location of the stay was nice and a good value. Arriving after dark due to traffic issues, the area was not lit so seeing the key pad was difficult and the instructions on how to unlock the property were not quite accurate. The blinds in the bedroom were broken so there was a slight privacy issue. Great shower and with lots of hot water. We really appreciated the coffee supplies and snacks. We brought food to prepare but the refrigerator was set so cold, it all froze. I did not notice that there was not a stove but there was a microwave and nice grill which we appreciated. We were attending our grandchildren's sporting event so did not have time to really enjoy the deck and outdoors; maybe next time. The grounds were exceptionally well kept. I thought overall it was a good place to stay and would recommend it as a good value for the money.

This cabin is the perfect location to explore the parks of the area or the wine trail. We did lots of hiking, lots of great food, and several wineries. We loved the area and the cabin is close to highway access. Cute cabin for a couple. The cabin was dusty and had some items that are in need of updating. It was clean overall. Bed was comfortable, towels were fluffy, and there was hot water for showering. The host had snacks, ice, and coffee available. Kitchenette with a small refrigerator, microwave, and kitchen sink. The fireplace went to the ceiling. We didn’t use it, but would be great for a chilly night.

Ist off, host was very gracious about the experience we had. Upon arrival went to unlock door and couldn't get it open. Called host and he said I'm so sorry the lock has been changed. at this point he told me that the fireplace would not work because they were out of propane. He offered me a discount because that was one of the features that led me to book this cabin. Upon entry to the cabin we found that it had not been cleaned. I called host and he said he was sorry and moved us to another cabin. The cabin was nice but the furniture in the living room was hard for my wife to get out of as the couch and chair set very low to the floor. It advertised a satellite but the only channels we could access was the 3 major networks and some shopping channels. The sliding screen door that goes out to patio the screen was torn and needed repair. The other thing was when you see the cabin on line it gives you the impression it is one cabin but actually is two cabins in one building. As I stated earlier host was very apologetic about issues I brought up but accomodations fell below my expectations.

We wanted someplace close to SIU while we visited our daughter, but it was also close to great hiking at Giant City and other little towns with lots to do.

Property was clean and well stocked. Even though it is a cabin, it’s right off a main road. It’s very accessible. Quiet at night! Easy to shop in Carbondale. Great location for the wine trail. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed our stay in the cabin! Thank you for being pet friendly, so that our anxiety-filled dog could come with us on this trip. The only thing I didn't realize from the listing is that it's a duplex. Everything was clean, the bed was comfy, and the welcome basket was a very nice touch. Thank you!

Peaceful, well kept, clean, close to all activities, wineries, orchards, giant city Lodge, hiking trails. Very warm and welcoming I will be back. Larry my host was awesome. Everything you will ever need but your food, even had a welcome basket in the house. My cabin was number 5 a 1 bedroom cabin, very roomy. Thanks for making my stay magical and restful.

The cabin was just what we needed for our 4 day stay. It was close to campus for moving our son in. Both my husband and I had to work remotely and the WiFi was good and strong. The cabin is close to wineries and hiking. It is also located next to a beautiful neighborhood perfect for walks. There is no oven/stove but we brought our own crock pot and everything worked well. The bed is very comfortable and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

This cute little cabin was the best location for our 14th anniversary vacation! It was comfortable and clean, and Steve was a wonderful host. Communication with him was clear and timely, and getting settled in could not have been easier. We loved the thoughtful touches like the coffee station and the sweet welcome basket with an assortment of snacks. The cabin's kitchen is well-stocked with everything you need to make your meals "at home" during your stay. (Note: no stove or oven, but that is clear in the property description. Nice grill on the deck and microwave for mug omelets, though! Yum!) It is a great location, just minutes from Giant City State Park for beautiful hiking and fun bouldering. It is also only 20ish minutes from Pomona hiking spots, and about 1.5 hours from Jackson Falls and Garden of the Gods. We loved our stay here and would recommend to any couple looking to plan a fuss-free, memorable trip together!
