    Provide propane for the gas grill. I've never had a host that had a policy of 'bring your own propane'. Why have a gas grill, if you can't use it.

    Beautiful property in a quiet area of Makanda. We made several trips to Giant City State Park which was extremely convenient.We had to contact the host several times and Allison was very speedy with her responses and resolved a couple of minor issues that we experienced. We had 5 seniors in our party and we all had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy our week.

    We have been coming to the southern Illinois area for over 25 years for our annual fishing trip. We have stayed in many vacation rentals, and each had their own unique experiences. Most positive, some not so much. Hartline was a fantastic experience, and our group loved the property. Accessing location and amenities were perfect. One of the best things I enjoyed personally was how the property owner or manager was very responsive to texts or emails. Love this property and location and would recommend this rental for groups of 8 or more over any other property in the area.5 star rating from our group. Thank you Hartline for a wonderful experience.

    The property had everything we needed to enjoy time with friends. However, there was an issue with the heat that was resolved on our second day. But it did take some persistence on our part. A little more attention to winter weather issues would have made our stay perfect.

    This house was the perfect setup for our family to be together in one big room to eat, play games and just hang out. We made use of the ping pong table and dart board and enjoyed sitting around the campfire in the evenings. It was very clean and nicely stocked. I would definitely recommend to any group. We had a really nice weekend!

    We had a wonderful family weekend get away! We could not have asked for better communication and recommendations for fun activities and great food. The online manual was a super helpful tool for planning food and fun activities appealing to the whole group. The cabin was beautiful and clean. My nephews enjoyed the game room. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could think of. We were able to relax and enjoy each others company around the fire pit at night.

    Simply outstanding property. Saw picture of cabin on VRBO but it’s one of those instances where you must see to believe. I am 70 years old and my son and his friends asked me to join them for four days to celebrate their college graduation and all getting commissioned as 2nd Lieutenants in the military (5 Air Force & 2 Army). Plenty of outdoor space to play flag football(I can still hang), spikeball and corn hole. Hiking trails nearby. Indoors, we had ping pong, darts and to the delight and surprise of the boys, video arcade with LOTS of games. With 4 bedrooms and 4 baths, the cabin was spacious to accommodate all 8 of us. Large living room/ dining room/ kitchen. Had indoor fireplace but did not use. The fire pit area was great and a great place to hang out. The surrounding area was wooded and beautiful. Already thinking of bringing wife and my other children for a stay. We did lose power for a little over an hour one day due to thunderstorms but quick communication with Ashlyn kept us informed of our status. Thank you Hartline Cabins. We will come back
