Modern 2BR Cabin w/ Hot Tub Near Carbondale

the cabin was perfect! it was very quiet and a great getaway from work! i had a lot of fun just lounging around with friends!!

Cabin was beautiful! Well maintained and equipped with everything we needed. Will definitely be back!.

Everything was perfect!!

The cabin was everything we hoped for. This was the perfect little getaway we was looking for. Alison was an exceptional host. Very friendly and quick to respond. We will definitely be staying here again for future visits.

The Shagbark cabin was a wonderful place to stay. Easy check-in. Very clean and comfortable. Close the many outdoor adventures in the Shawnee Forest, as well as Carbondale, if needed. Helpful instructions from the host. Highly recommended.

This was our 2nd stay at the cabin. We just love this place! It was a perfect spot for our family to stay while we visited our son at SIU. There is enough space for me & my wife to have a private bedroom, my two younger sons slept in the loft (which they loved, especially the view out of the window in the morning) and my oldest son was able to stay on the pull-out sofa bed on nights that he didn't want to drive back to his apartment. Every detail of the cabin has been thought out. The full kitchen meant we could cook meals there and didn't have to drive to a restaurant every time. We played games on the kitchen table and my sons loved jumping in the hot tub in the cold weather. We used the camp fire pit and made s'mores. The cabin feels like it's out in the country, deep in a forest, but it's actually only 10 minutes from downtown Carbondale and the SIU campus. It's very comfortable and clean with modern fixtures, but made to feel like a country cabin. We just loved it and highly recommend it! We have wonderful memories of our time there!

The cabin was extremely nice and spotless. Everything you could possibly need was provided. The beds were comfortable and the location was perfect for our son’s wedding!!

We had a wonderful time at this place. The hosts were great to work with and the place was amazing. Looking forward to staying here again!

Hot tub was clean and so was the cabin. The dryer was not functioning properly which meant it took a very long time to dry towels. But besides that everything was great.

This cabin was absolutely perfect for our family of four. The cabin was very clean with furnishing, decor, and amenities that were all well thought out. From the unique nature themed wall hangings to the abundance of hooks for coats and towels, everything about this place feels cozy and inviting. The location is perfect, being about 10 minutes from Carbondale and less than 10 minutes to Giant City State Park. The lofted sleeping area and lack of tub make this better suited for older kids, but we had no issues with our 5 and 7 year olds. They loved having their own sleeping space upstairs and there was plenty of space in the private driveway out front for them to safely run around without bothering the neighbors. This is definitely one we will come back to!

We had a short stay to do a day of hiking. The cabin was easy to find and so cute! The decor was perfect and it was so clean! The place looked brand new. It has just about anything you would need. The hot tub was so nice after a long day of hiking. Overall it was super comfortable and relaxing. I only wish we could have stayed longer to explore more of the forest and hike more trails. We will be back for sure!!! I should also mention Allison was our host and did an amazing job making sure everything was perfect.

It was a midway meeting point for a 20 year friendship driving from Peoria IL, Bourbonnais IL and Lexington KY. The cabin was a dream. It is decorated beautifully and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the hot tub and the rockers on front porch with hours of conversation and card games. We ventured into town only once to do some antique/thrift shopping. We realized our time was better in the woods so shopping was cut short! We can’t wait to go back! Each morning we had a visit from the prettiest bird!

My boyfriend and i stayed here for 5days and it was the best time! Very well stocked, clean and cozy!! Will definitely be back maybe in the winter

It was absolutely amazing staying there. Everything was clean and perfect

Needed a relaxing getaway, this cabin was perfect. Close enough to food and a few shops but far enough from city chaos. Cabin was very clean. HotTub was amazing. We have stayed at one of the other cabins in this group but this one was our fave.

Shagbark Cabin is beautiful! We loved our stay. It was cozy and relaxing. The cabin was clean and very well stocked with kitchen supplies.

Vary clean and nicely decorated

we had a great time celebrating our sons birthday. the cabin was beautiful and just perfect for us to use as home base to explore the area. the fire pit and hot tub were a great hit.

We were expecting a simple, quiet cabin in the woods for a brief get away. Although listings often use flowery adjectives like luxurious and cozy, this one was truly a standout. High-end kitchenware, unique and regionally appropriate decor and art, leather furniture, a Pendleton wool blanket for the couch and so much more made us immediately feel like a welcomed guest at a friend’s home. It was perfect!

Nice place to stay. The 10am.check out seemed to early.

We absolutely loved everything about this cabin. It was beautiful and peaceful inside and out. Perfect spot to get away and take a break from the busyness of life. Would definitely recommend.

We had the pleasure of staying in this amazing microcabin, there was four of us and it was the perfect size. Our bride said she was wanted to stay in a little cabin in the woods for her bachelorette and when I found this place, it was the perfect spot! The aesthetic was 10/10, down to every little detail! Even though it was hot and humid the weekend we stayed, we still enjoyed the hot tub. It’s in a really great location and traveling to the nearest town was simple so you could still enjoy the restaurants the cities had to offer. All in all, 5/5 stars, so grateful to have found this hidden gem!

Beautiful and enchanting cabin. We are a family of 5, youngest is 11 years old. There was enough room for all of us. Everything was clean. Quiet area. It was a great experience, hope to return during fall or winter to experience a different season here.
