Delightful Cabin near a wildlife refuge, 6 miles to Carbondale Illinois.

We found the cabin to be very cozy and comfortable. Appreciated good communication with the owners!

This is such a find!! We loved our stay! So many extras make this a one of a kind stay.We look forward to staying again.

Absolutely beautiful perfect little cabin with everything you'll need. Linda and Jon were amazing hosts. Thank you for an amazing anniversary weekend

This is a lovely little “fishing cabin” with cute and thoughtful touches like an outside fire pit with wood, solar pathway lights, restaurant suggestions, ceiling fan in the bedroom, and nice amenities and decent towels in the bathroom. Responses from the host were immediate. The property is in a great location with a pond right down the street. No complaints at all - highly recommended, especially if you like staying a bit out of town and in “nature.”

So many extra welcoming touches! Clean, comfortable, great location for our needs! Loved the fire pit! Great food recommendations by owner. Enjoyed our stay a great deal-wish it was longer.

A wonderful stay! Cabin was better than pictured. We enjoyed the homey touches and the outdoor chess set. Given the chance we will definitely be coming back. We very much enjoyed our stay and the communication with the hosts was very good.

Second time staying and love this place every time. The perfect home away from home with my family. Very welcoming to our dog Daisy as well.

The property was adorable with the sweetest little details that made it so homey. We had an issue with needing new batteries for the remote and right when we texted the host, they dropped new batteries in the mailbox 20 minutes later. They were so responsive and made the property so awesome to stay in!

Very clean and cozy cabin. Great hosts. Close to great hiking areas, loved the full kitchen.

Just in Awe of the hospitality!! CLEAN, CUTE & QUIET. Couldn't ask for more of an unforgettable vacation of peace! Our hosts were so polite-a warm hard to find. The extras were perfect! I loved the hand crafted details which made it that more homey. This place really took a city girl back down home to the farm!!! Thank you!!!

Easy communication, very nice clean cabin, peaceful stay, would highly recommend 10/10!

As always, great comforts and cleanliness. Absolutely recharged!!

Everything perfect

cozy

This stay was relaxing and so cozy! We had a great time cooking, Watching movies, and napping on a bed that feels like a cloud! Hoping to have the chance to come back!

Cozy, charming, quiet, and clean cabin perfect for a weekend stay for a couple with a small dog visiting of the area wineries. Definitely will book again.

Clean and a decent place to stay. The bathroom is a little small, and the kitchen could use a remodel, but I was there to sleep and had no issues.

Everything was great! Very responsive. Perfect place for our needs!

My sister and I had a great time staying in the cozy cabin. We enjoyed morning coffee on the front porch listening to the trees sway and the geese honking. We had our evening cocktails by the fire pit, looking at the stars and listening to the cicada or crickets. The bed and bedding were very comfortable. This place had everything that we needed to use as a base camp as we explored the thrift shops in Carbondale, the antique stores in Carterville, and hiking at Giant City State Park.

Cozy cabin. Very clean and comfortable. Quiet and peaceful.

This is a perfect cozy and charming cabin tucked away in the woods. Exactly as described, very clean and has perfect little extras. Hosts are great and quick to respond. This is our second time staying and we plan on returning. Great place if you want to stargaze, fish or boat in the area.

Wonderful stay at this peaceful, cozy cabin! Incredibly clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

Such a cute little cabin! I wish the stay would've been longer as it was incredibly cozy and well appointed. Would've loved to have a TV in the bedroom, but I understand that not everyone feels that way. Will definitely book again if available during my next visit!

Charming cottage. Had everything we needed. The host (Linda) made the process easy.

Very cute and clean!

This was a cozy peaceful place. We would definitely stay again.

Perfect place for us to stay for the night. Great touches like soap, coffee, and fresh veggies. Exactly as listed. Peaceful place in the woods.

Had a great, but too brief of a stay, at Linda and Jon's cabin. Very comfortable. Just wish the vegetable garden was ready for harvest. While the cabin appears isolated at first glance, it is actually very convenient to Kroger, restaurants, etc. Would definitely stay there again, if passing through Carbondale.

Took a day ride to visit our daughter and wanted something other than a hotel room. I stumbled across this little cozy cabin down by Crab Orchard and loved it. Nothing super fancy but it was perfect for what we needed. The place was a bit rustic and very clean and we loved it. There were deer and a few other animal visitors that we quite enjoyed. The bed was comfy and we slept great, the location takes you out of the hustle and bustle of the rest of the world. Would love to do it agian.

100% will be back, everything was wonderful

Overall stay was amazing. Only complaint was about blinds being short on windows , bed was hard , shower curtain was missing. But if the bed was softer it would have been perfect just had a hard time sleeping

The cabin was very clean & was just what we needed to relax after a 6 hour drive. Would definitely rent again if we are in the area!

Booked for one night near the Shawnee National Forest. This cabin was so sweet, we found ourselves wanting to stay there longer to take in all that the cabin had to offer, which was a great getaway! Wonderful choice!!! Hope to come back!!!

Wasnt what we thought. But, okay!

This little eclectic cabin brought back childhood memories; thanks for the experience.

Linda and Jon were great and very responsive hosts. The cabin had everything you'd expect for a rural setting. The evenings were super quiet and the skies were super dark. The cabin was very warm and cozy for our winter stay. Perfect for a getaway for 2. The recent ice and snowstorms provided for some stunning landscape views. We'll definitely consider booking again when we come back to the area.

Very clean and well-loved. I really love that we could bring our dog and it was quiet and private. We hiked Little Grand Canyon, ate in Carbondale, and just enjoyed down town at the home.

The neighborhood this cabin is located looks pretty rough. A lot of houses that are ran down. The outside of the cabin looks pretty rough. That has a lot to do with the dated asphalt siding on sides and back. The last night we stayed was a rainy night and the roof leaked at the access to the attic. The positive is that while the inside was small it was clean and functional. It did what we needed it to do but it wont be a repeat booking. The positive is that the insid atic

We loved this cute little one-bedroom cabin that was so sweetly decorated and included a beautiful chandelier. The front porch has two rocking chairs and the backyard has a firepit with two Adirondack chairs where we built a fire in the fall. The owner was so kind and we just loved our cabin in the woods! And, they even left us farm fresh eggs from their chickens! What a sweet touch! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay! We can't wait to spread the word!
