    My partner and I had a perfect mini getaway at The Blue Heron cabin this past weekend. I would absolutely recommend this A-frame and already have! The cabin is remotely located on a very large piece of property that contains two other A-frames. This cabin in particular sits off to the side and is probably the most private of the three, although they are all very private. The cabin is very easy to find as there are signs that indicate where you need to go. I love that all three A-frames are painted a different colors so you can spot yours easily.Upon arrival, I noticed how clean, modern, spacious, and aesthetic the entire property and inside of the cabin are. The cabins just as the photos describe. Wi-Fi worked like a charm the entire trip, which was perfect for planning out our daily hikes and nightly restaurant visits. We brought our dog, Harvey, who absolutely loved this location. He enjoyed sitting on the dock while I read and drank my morning coffee and my boyfriend did a bit of fishing. He caught three smallmouth bass and kindly released them right away. The cabin has everything you could want, including a fully stocked kitchen, modern and beautiful bathroom, a living room area to relax in, and extremely comfy beds and bedding. Since our dog is a senior, we chose to sleep in the downstairs bedroom, which was incredibly cozy. There’s also an upstairs loft queen bed that I bet would be wonderful to see the sunrise in as there is a giant window in view. 10/10

    We had a wonderful time visiting this cabin. It was the perfect peaceful little getaway we were hoping for. Blue Sky winery is a must visit, animal friendly and great prices. Thanks for sharing your cabin with us, first time consisting southern Illinois and will definitely be back!

    Very private, well maintained grounds, cute and clean cabin! It had basic spices, ice trays, shampoo conditioner and body wash. I would note that there are NO grocery stores, gas stations, or convenience stores anywhere nearby so should be thoughtful of groceries etc. The hot tub was so nice at night to watch the fireflies and stars.

    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!

    Wonderful experience. Very out of the way, about a 20 minute drive to anywhere. I will definitely be back when there is better weather.

    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!
