Hot Tub - Minutes from Winetrail, SIU, Giant City, Cedar Lake, Shawnee Forest!

Very nice property. Communication with owner was excellent. The cabin was very clean. The beds were very comfortable. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

This is a great little cabin. I wouldn’t change a thing!

Perfect cabin! Everything clean and stocked. Loved the basket of treats! Golf course is within walking distance, lots of hiking trails nearby. Guys loved tge golf course. Hot tub was a definite plus ! Steve was a great host and quick to respond to messages. We will definitely be back!

The cabin was a delightful place to stay with our kids and 2 small dogs. We appreciated finding coffee for the mornings and also some bug spray for the Little Grand Canyon hike. When we had questions, the host was responsive and friendly as well. We would definitely book again!

we ready enjoyed our stay and the cabin is perfect! perfect location, perfect comfort, perfect everything! really recommend staying there !

I don't want to tell anyone about this great cabin because I want it to always be available for me! It's a perfect getaway cabin near Carbondale, Giant City, and the wine trail. Steve was a great host. The cabin is well appointed with 2 gorgeous bathrooms. The outdoor space is maximized with a large hot tub and outdoor grill and fire pit. We loved soaking and looking at the stars. With a college student at SIUC and mile's of trails to be explored, we will definitely be back.

My boyfriend and I had a great mini-vaca. We’re local and just wanted a night away. Everything we could have needed was available, down to the pizza cutter. The hot tub was just what we needed to relax after a long work week. We ended up checking out a night early due to unforeseen circumstances, but will definitely be going back when we have the time.

The host was very accommodating and responsive. The hot tub was excellent and the box of snacks was a sweet touch.

Great hot tub, clean rooms. Kitchen has everything you could need. Host was very nice. The porch is fully enclosed with a latching door, which was great for our dog. Highly recommend!

Great host. Very helpful. We will definitely stay again.

Great location for hiking and wineries on the wine trail.

Process was easy.

Host was flexible and quickly responsive. Every need was anticipated and provided for. The deck and hot tub were great! (Firepit didn't work but we didn't need it.) My husband made huge breakfasts each morning and had everything he needed. It was nice to be able to bring our dog! Perfect, quiet location near wineries and Giant City State Park. We and our adult daughter and our dog had a wonderful time!

The host was very accomadating. The cabin was amazing.

Hot tub was clean. We did scoop out stuff daily to keep it cleaner. Kitchen is set up nicely. Everything you would need in it, (except a casserole dish, LOL) Bedrooms are awesome and I love the bathrooms. Outside patio is so relaxing. Love the little gas fire pit. Outside grill was clean and we used it everyday!

Very nice and clean property. We will likely stay there again when we come down to visit my daughter in college. Very close to SIU campus. The only things I wanted to bring up are the internet was in and out most of the time we were there and also there is a leak under sink of middle bathroom. But those are not big issues at all.

The view was fabulous, the hot tub was one of the niciest ive ever been in,and the house was super clean and organized....5 star

The cabin was clean and as described. The location was great and just minutes from Carbondale and Giant City. I would definitely stay there again.

Very clean, beautiful, cozy cabin. Many amenities. Our extended family enjoyed visiting us on the deck and in the hot tub. Perfect family reunion space!

Amazing place to stay near Shawnee National Forest and the Wine Trail

This cabin was perfect for my wifes 40th birthday getaway! We invited two other couples to join us. We explored the views of southern Illinois, went to many local wineries and ended out evening sitting around the fire pit and soaking in the hottub! It was good to get away from reality and decompress with some close friends. We shared many laughs and life stories. Talked about our kids and goals in life. Steve(owner) stopped and introduced himself as we were unloading our things on the first night! He made it perfectly clear that if we needed anything at all to call and he would be sure we were taken care of. We will definitely be back to enjoy another weekend.

This is a very nice property. Small, but quaint. Easy-to-use check-in & out. Host is kind & responsive. We would definitely stay here again!

Very nice, clean cabin nicely decorated inside. The hot tub in the vm back was very big and modern loved it! Recommend staying here.

Absolutely knock out place with knockout service. Couldnt ask for more.

The cabin was well-stocked and is in a great location, close to many of the hiking trails and vineyards we visited. We had a couple of hiccups first with Wi-Fi and then the dishwasher, but the owner was very responsive and provided excellent communication. Also, the hot tub was a welcome respite at the end of our hiking days :-)

Nice and quiet and relaxing

We enjoyed our stay. Host was very easy to get a hold of. Place was very spacious. We really enjoyed the hot tub!

Friends just wanting to get away from our kids and responsibilities and this cabin was perfect. Close enough to town that we went out for some very nice meals and exploring and a fully functional kitchen for all the snacking and lounging we were looking for. Perfect mom getaway.

Had a great stay

The location was perfect and the cabin was clean, peaceful and nicely located close to several vineyards!

Loved the whole atmosphere and experience

This is the greatest cabin! Plenty of sleeping space, and well stocked. The outdoor space was a beautiful oasis. This is the nicest and cleanest hot tub I’ve ever been in! Can’t say enough great things about Steve and his cabin! I love the town of Makanda, and I will be back soon!

Our family was in town to tour SIU - this house was cozy and so nice! Beautifully decorated, well-stocked, and so many thoughtful touches! The hot tub and fire “pit” were such a nice luxury. Thanks so much!

Had a great trip… lots of hiking in giant city and Shawnee forest. Hot tub was great in the evening. Great location. Very responsive and nice host!

This place was easy to get to right off the main road. I think this place has all the amenities you could need. The hot tub is very large. The host promptly responded to my questions. Our family of four really enjoyed our stay and hope to again in the future.

We loved the cabin. It was very clean and felt like home. Our favorite part was the back patio. There is a large gas powered long, rectangle “fire pit” with patio furniture on 2 sides of it. We lived sitting there and talking before we got into the hot tub to relax before bed. The host was very responsive and friendly. We will be back soon. It was very romantic for just the 2 of us.

Very cozy, comfortable beds, great hot tub, easy to get to several wineries from here.There were 5 adult women & I don't think you would want anymore people than that since the living room area is pretty small. Hot tub & back deck with the fire pit & couches was great. Bring eye mask if you like to sleep in because rooms do get sunny. Pictures make it look like it is secluded but there are other cabins next door & it is at the front of a golf course.

My sisters and I spent the week in the cabin during a 7 1/2 inch snow event, with temperatures in the single digits. The cabin was as described and we were very comfortable. We cooked all our meals in the kitchen everyday and greatly enjoyed the hot tub. Would come back in the future and hopefully would be able to visit some wineries and do some hiking. Great host!!

This cabin is absolutely adorable!! It’s very clean and cozy! I highly re

My husband and I came down to visit for his birthday. Steve was very accommodating and whatever question we had it was answered right away. We had a lovely time! The only thing we werent aware of was that the cabin is in a little neighborhood with 2 other cabins that back to the same common space, but was very quiet. It was well stocked and the hot tub was an awesome touch! Anything you could want they had. Being able to bring out dogs was a a plus! We hope to be back!!

Cozy place perfect for a getaway weekend

Clean and comfortable. Did not use the hot tub as outside temp was in single digits. Location was great with lots of hiking around and close proximity to city for shopping and restaurants. Would stay again for sure!

We came to the area to spend New Years Eve with our son at Southern Illinois University. The location is perfect - close enough to Carbondale for convenience, but just far enough from the city to be a comfortable, peaceful place to stay. The cabin was clean, spacious and well appointed. Being able to take our small dog with us was an added benefit.

Very nice easy accessible property. Very impressed how clean and well stocked the house was

Very enjoyable stay

Location was a priority. We wanted something close to the hospital in Carbondale for the birth of our first grandbaby. House was clean. Bathrooms were amazing! Hot tub and fire table were wonderful. Highly recommend.

Cabin was very cute and cozy. The bed we slept in was very comfortable. Hot tub was nice. Overall we enjoyed our little mini vacation in Cabin 12. Would definitely stay there again!

This is a great place to stay if you want to visit Giant City State Park and surrounding area. The house has a small indoor gathering area but the deck is spacious and the hot tub and view of the moon over the golf course were wonderful.

Very easy check in,

We took a quick trip to Southern Illinois to celebrate my wife's birthday, and ride the Tunnel Hill Bike Trail. The cabin was very clean, well supplied and comfy bed. The hot tub and outdoor fire pit were perfect for relaxing after a day on the trail. A great cabin and area check it out!

Wonderful property in a nice quite setting!! I think we finally found our new home when we stay in the shawnee!!. Fixed a few things that needed some attention which is no big deal!. Cant wait to stay again in a few months!!.

Cabin was clean, nicely decorated and spacious. It had everything we needed for our three sisters trip. We had ample room. Hot tub was an extra bonus we all enjoyed. Neighborhood was quiet. I would love to recommend this property to others and would definitely rent again if in the area.

Just as advertised- clean, updated and with extra nice touches, including plenty of plush towels, great hot tub and fire table on nice deck. We even were welcomed with snacks. A perfect place to stay

Everything was as it should be and we had all the amenities we needed for a great getaway weekend. Steve was a great host.

Really enjoyed our time there. Nice view from the hot tub. House is really nice and fully stocked with everything you would need. Host was awesome.

Very nice. Good communication. Would definitely stay there again! Thank you

Great experience. Would recommend. 5/5 stars. Wonderful amenities. Awesome location. Family friendly. Overall, exceeded our expectations.

Clean, updated design

The cabin was clean, nicely updated and the kitchen had everything you needed to cook a meal for the family. The back deck and hot tub were a nice place to relax after hiking all day. The owner was easy to get a hold and took care of all our needs. My husband and I plan to come back and visit the winetrail.
