Cave Creek Cabins are built with our guest's comfort in mind. Spacious 1500 Sq. Ft. multi level gives you room to breath. Covered decks let you enjoy the outdoors, even when Mother Nature isn't cooperating.

Our cabins feature beautiful custom wood furniture, countertops and accents made from reclaimed wood that you just have to see. Each cabin offers two bedrooms, all with very comfortable queen mattresses, two sleeper sofas and two full baths. The upper level of the cabins feature a great room with trestle style dining table that seats 8 comfortably. The ample living area has a gas fireplace, recliner, sofa and HD-TV. Our full kitchen, with full size appliances, has beautiful wood countertops and seating for 4 at the island. Large supply of cookware, dinnerware for 8, coffeemaker and toaster provided. One bedroom and a full bath are also located on this level. The upper deck features a great overlook of Cave Creek for you to enjoy from the drink rail while you rest on our comfortable seating.

The lower level has a relaxed seating area with sleeper sofa, TV and DVD player. A game table and board games are provided. Second bedroom and full bath are located on this level, plus the utility room. We also offer satellite TV with separate controllers for each TV. This cabin is perfect for two couples or a family getaway. The deck on this level also offers a good view of the creek for your enjoyment.

Luxurious bed linens and bath towels provided. Soaps, shampoos, paper products and some cleaning supplies are also provided. We also provide an outdoor charcoal grill. And we have a fire pit available for our guest's enjoyment.

We have a dusk to dawn security light illuminating the parking area and cabin entries. Enjoy the fire pit and grilling are on the creek side of the cabin. Take a stroll on the quite country lane, relax around a crackling fire or take a comfortable seat on the covered deck and enjoy the relaxing sounds of the trickling creek.

Less than a mile north of Alto Pass, Mark's Lane is between Alto Vineyards and Rendleman's Orchard Store. It's a very short drive to Bald Knob Cross, Cedar Lake, Little Grand Canyon, Pomona Natural Bridge or Trail of Tears state park. The hiking is great. Try the lesser used trail skirting beautiful Cedar Lake, one of the best fishing lakes in the region.

Alto Pass was in the prime viewing area for the 2017 Eclipse and will be again in April 2024. The Shawnee will again have the longest viewing time for the full eclipse. We have so much to offer visitors in the Shawnee Region. Nature lovers have an abundance of trails to choose from, several of them geared for the occasional hiker or children. There are excellent rock climbing locations for the more adventurous visitors. We have one of the best zip lines in the United States. Our region offers great biking trails. There are lavender farms, strawberry and blueberry patches, and a bison ranch. They start picking peaches in June. Apples and other farm fresh produce are available at the farm stores. Don't miss the orchards in springtime bloom. Watch for festivals and music every weekend at the wineries. Don't miss the food and wine pairing weekends. Yum! And before we know it, the beautiful fall colors will be here. There is something for everyone to enjoy in Southern Illinois. Have a busy day and then come back to a relaxing retreat at Cave Creek!

    Very spacious! Love that each level of the cabin had its own deck and the stairs to the fire pit. The only downfall was no WiFi. I get that people come to relax but I really missed my ability to send text messages.

    Beautiful cabin furnished with all your needs.. very cozy, comfortable with plenty of room. We enjoyed the fire pit as well as the indoor electric fireplace relaxing in between visiting with family and enjoying the local businesses and scenery.

    This was our second time booking out both cabins for a friends weekend. The cabin was just as comfortable and intuitive to stay in as last year, and it was so nice to return somewhere and feel like we knew the layout!

    The cabins are located in a very nice area. The setting is wooded and has a stream along the back of the property next to the sitting area and fire pit. We have stayed three times and look forward to another trip. They are always clean and neat, and are very user friendly. Very close to good wineries (Alto Vineyards, Von Jakob, Kite Hill, just to name a few) only a few minutes drive to several others. Bonus locations are Iron Whisk in Cobden (fantastic breakfast that we frequent each visit) and Havisham Bourban Bar in Alto Pass (what a neat place to sit and relax and sample many different drinks). There are many other opportunities to explore that we just haven’t taken the time to enjoy. These cabins and the area in general are a must to experience.

    We stayed at Cave Creek for graduation weekend! This was such a great place. It was welcoming, clean, and comfortable. Plus, we were only 5 minutes from multiple wineries! This was perfect. I was happy to be in a quiet spot. It was nice to avoid the busyness of downtown Carbondale. However, close enough to head there as needed! Highly recommend Cave Creek!

    We were as comfortable in the cabin as we are in our own home. It was great having laundry machines (we were staying with 4 kids ages 5 to 12). The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Be careful the water out of the faucet can get steaming hot. We enjoyed the fire pit. Would recommend renting both cabins for 4 families- the deck and fire pit is shared. The outside looks rustic but the cabin interior is quite well appointed.

    The cabins are located in a very quiet, woodsy area. One fear we had was that it might smell musty. We couldn't have been more wrong. The cabin was so inviting and incredibly clean. No musty smell at all. The pictures online show the property well. But, it is even more beautiful in person. The beds were comfortable, linens and towels were high quality and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. There is a nice gas fireplace and a nice fire pit outside. I would definitely recommend this property. Roger and Shirley (owners) were delightful to deal with as well.

    We booked both cabins for a friends getaway. The generous accommodations had plenty of room for everyone to have enough space, enjoy their quiet, and spend time together. The location is convenient to the outdoor activities we had planned for and plenty of restaurants. We will definitely be back!

    We've stayed here a couple of times now and the cabin is always in excellent shape, clean and very well maintained, well stocked, and just a joy to rest in. The check in and check out process are easy, and policies and costs are well communicated clearly and early. At this point, we've stayed in quite a few places in the area trying to find the one we like the best. At this point, we've found it.
