    Our stay here was amazing from start to finish! It was pretty chilly most of our stay. Luckily there was plenty of games/activities to keep everyone entertained while staying warm. I would recommend this cabin for any group!

    Perfect home for our business trip while our team was in the area for a couple weeks. Fully stocked kitchen, with both Anna and Carbondale nearby to shop for food and supplies. Allison was a great, responsive host.

    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!
