    Very cozy cabin. Has everything you need for a weekend stay. Close enough to Marion for food and entertainment and far enough away for some much need seclusion.

    Our stay in the Teal Door Micro Cabin was exactly what we needed! It was clean & cozy & cute, with all the amenities necessary to enjoy the experience. Allison was a super responsive host to the few questions we had. We plan to come back in a few months & would recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing environment with a great view.

    Everything was just as advertised. We loved the seclusion and the overall property experience. We also loved KEVIN, the golden retriever. He greeted us on arrival and came to say, goodbye when we left. He is adorable.

    My husband and I came with our dog to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Our dog absolutely loved playing with the property dog, Kevin, in and out of the water. We spent our time hiking different areas in Shawnee, and thought this cabin was a great central location. The firepit (with free wood), patio set up and location were absolutely perfect! Marion has an adorable town square that is a 10 minute drive away. We had some fabulous meals in Marion, so we didn't do any cooking at the cabin. However, it appeared to be fully stocked if you wanted to prepare some meals at home.This was our first time visiting the Shawnee National Forest area and it certainly won't be our last! Highly recommend this cabin as your launching point for exploring.

    My stay here was fantastic. Checkin was extremely easy. There is a sign by the road to make finding the cabins easy. The cabin was exactly as described. Kitchen facilities had everything I needed to cook 3 full meals for 2 full days. Water pressure and temperature are great. We had a wonderful time enjoying the pond and outdoor area as well! Recommend to everyone.

    What an incredible stay! After our last VRBO stay(at a different property, with different management, in a completely different state), we were really reluctant to book again, but Alison and this property restored our faith.We brought our puppy along for a quick anniversary get-away to celebrate 22 years and this property was perfect!We’d love to come back in the future!

    This is my 3rd time staying in this exact same cabin. I lived in the area years ago and this cabin is located exactly in the middle of everywhere I like to go. The host, Allison, is wonderful. Always a pleasure. Hope to be back this fall!

    We LOVED this little cabin. We had a work trip to check out local wineries for the restaurant and this place was just amazing. The details, to the small finishes were exceptional. I didn’t think to even pack coffee (my bad) but they had us covered from grounds to creamer and it saved my life. Kevin (the dog) is such a bright spot to the experience. I took more pics of him than anything else as he fished in the pond. The owners really do make tiny details stand out and we will definitely be back and bring friends! Nothing but good vibes from our stay!!!

    Place was smaller than expected but very cozy. Great place for a small family with kids that could sleep in a loft and enjoy the fishing during spring, summer and fall. Could use some more cookware, like a cookie sheet and 9x13 pan and more glasses. Only 2 juice and one large glass. During our stay the WiFi was cut by owner during a dig near their house, it was out most of our stay. Bought a CD player and movies since it was during snowy cold weather.

    We went to antique stores, followed the wine trail and ate at restaurants. When we were done each day we came back to a cozy cabin. I walked around the lake or sat on the covered porch.

    My wife and I have a son at SIU and we visit the area a few times a year. We've always stayed in a hotel but not anymore. We'll always stay at this cabin from now on. It was so peaceful and away from the hustle and bustle, yet just a short drive in the country to SIU. The cabin is clean, well stocked with everything you could need and we'll enjoyed the sunsets by the pond. We highly recommend this property. The owners were also easy to communicate with and made sure to check in with us before we arrived. We'll be back for sure.

    We travelled 12 hours and booked for 8 days. Arrived at 2:00am and loved the look/feel of the place. Unpacked quick and jumped into bed. The mattress was ok but older and my wife and I kept settling into the middle. Woke the next morning talked with them about it. Mike checked things out while my wife and I hiked for the day. We came back to a brand new box spring and mattress. I can’t say enough about the atmosphere and the service.

    We have a cabin in UP Michigan and love the peaceful atmosphere you get so this was a great option for us. Could use a bit more towel bars and hooks and small platforms when you undress in bedrooms but otherwise was fully functional with all conveniences you need.

    My husband and I stayed here for a couple of nights on our travels. The mini-cabin is perfect for a coupe or small family. Easy to get to Marion and Crab Orchard is a must see destination. The pond on the property is a nice addition and brings in so many birds and deer. Thanks for the nice mini-vacation.
