I really enjoyed my stay. I came to spend some time with my daughter who goes to SIU. It was nice, quiet, and had the great charm. It is a cabin so it is rustic but that was the charm of the cabin. The bed was great, we were able to cook and relax like the comforts of home. The wifi had an issue and needed to be reset and the host was very prompt on fixing the issue. He was available! I will definitely stay here again when I visit my daughter!

Had a great couple nights. Saw the eclipse, ate some great food. It's really dark there at night though, could use a bit more light.

This cabin was the perfect home base for my son and me during his college Spring Break/our hiking trip to the Shawnee forest. During our stay, we enjoyed hiking and exploring the Panther’s Den, Ferne Clyffe State Park (especially Bork Falls), Giant City State Park, the Pomona Natural Bridge, the Little Grand Canyon, as well as kayaking with Cache Bayou Outfitters and visiting Blue Sky’s Vineyard. The cabin had everything we needed and lots of extra thoughtful touches too. It's in a nice surrounding, located next to a golf course, which is lovely. Steve was wonderful to work with. I highly recommend it.

The cabin was perfect for my husband and I and our dog for our 4 night get away. Had everything we needed. Steve was great in helping us get the gas fireplace started as we were unfamiliar with how to operate it. He had someone stop by and start the pilot light while we were gone so that when we got home we just had to turn it on. Made the evening and the next morning so cozy!

I stayed at this cabin for a long weekend while taking a two day board exam in Carbondale. It was the perfect find. Clean, quiet, affordable, and great amenities. The bed was comfortable and you had everything you needed to prepare your own food. The property manager reached out with clear instructions on checking in and what to expect. Thank you for making a stressful weekend a bit brighter.

Such a cute and peaceful little cottage and had everything we needed for a great weekend! Now if only the bed were bigger than full size. I'm going to check into the other cottages to see if we can get a unit with a bigger bed next time. Cabin 3 had a great view of woods and with the windows open at night we listened to crickets and hoot owls, which was lovely. Suggestions... provide tea for tea drinkers, broom off all the cobwebs around porch, put a screen on slider doors, bedroom carpeting could use a shampoo. PROS...comfy bed, soft linens, 4 pillows plus extras in closet, fluffy new towels, lovely shampoos etc..., french vanilla creamers, air conditioning, peaceful surroundings. All in all a great place! We're so glad that all the Carbondale hotels were full for parent's weekend and that, having to explore further, we found this place! This will be our new place for visiting our son at SIU! Thank you! Oh, also, print out your cabin number or take a screen shot before you get there. We couldn't get any internet and had to drive a ways away to be able to check e-mail on my phone for check in information. My fault. I should have had that on hand before we arrived.

Great value. Location was centrally located next to state parks and other attractions. Didn’t realize it was a duplex but was rear unit and ended up being quite private. Gas fireplace went out several times during stay, would flicker back in eventually.

Beautiful area. Wasnt really anywhere to park. The small space for the duplex was taken up by one car. Two cars could of fit but it would be really tight. Ended up parking by the dumpster. Accommodations were nice. The inside was decorated tastefully. Bed was super super comfortable! Had a sleeper sofa and a small rocker recliner. Sofa was about as comfortable as a sleep sofa could be. Recliner was small but comfortable. A little dusty around the fireplace but not terrible. There was a swarm of gnats hanging out in the bedroom above the lamp in the corner but didnt bother us. For the price, it was a good deal. Would definitely go there again. Owner was polite and answered emails quickly.

we should count ourselves lucky. we had a stove to cook on, unlike cabin 2, although it was so old and dirty it set the smoke detector off every time we used it .do not expect luxuries. no hair dryer, dish washer, needs an upgrade on pots and pans. otherwise clean and easy to get to.

What a wonderful stay we had! The cabin was easy to locate, even in the dark when we arrived. The cabin was immaculate and decorated in a stylish wine theme and was, without a doubt, the most well stocked VRBO house we’ve ever stayed in! The kitchen had everything! The bed was incredibly comfortable and the water pressure was great!! But without a doubt the most wonderful part of the cabin stay was the helpful maintenance man named Jason. Being a novice to gas fireplaces we asked his assistance to make sure it was done properly and he was most helpful and very respectful of our time and rented space. We also inquired about some local interests and he was a great help with his suggestions and recommendations for meals! In addition to the wonderful cabin, the great host, the helpful staff we found that Rainmakers Studio on the boardwalk was a wonderful hidden gem along the boardwalk as well as a picnic in Giant City State Park made for a perfect getaway in southern Illinois!
