Pine Cabin #3 on 30 Acres! 1 mi. from Carbondale, IL & SIUC Campus

The cabin’s interior was clean and tidy, with eclectic decor and a working pinball machine (so fun!). There is central air that works very well and stands up to that southern Illinois humidity. The shower was perfect for my 6’5 husband and had great water pressure. You’re surrounded by deep woods but only a few minutes outside of Carbondale, a short drive to Giant City, and all of the other great places in the area. The cabin was a bit hard to find at first, while there was signage, it still wasn’t clear to us where it was (user error? Long drive fatigue?). It’s set back a bit in the woods but once you find it, it looks like the pictures in the listing. Very cool spot and a great value for the cost. Good space for a couple to stay and relive the So Ill memories!

The cabin was amazingly clean despite being in the woods. It was very quiet. The property was beautiful. A simple way to get away from town for a relaxing vacation. The host was very helpful.

The cabin is nestled in the woods at the end of a winding road. Very nice and secluded. Tom, our host was warm and welcoming and respectful of our privacy. My only negative comment is that the place could have been a little cleaner. The bedding, towels, cookware and tableware were all clean. The cabin was a bit dusty. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay.

If your looking for a quite out of the way place this is it.

Double booked and didn't get to stay

This was our 2nd time in 3 yers staying here! Our dog loves it, we spent 4 nights, had beautiful weather, a wonderful way to start of spring break. The area is beautiful, drove up to snake road. Tom is a great hostWe will be back

The property was peaceful and relaxing. Tom was a great host, we will definitely be back! Thanks again for having us

Lovely, retro feel, close to campus and town. Wooded property, beautiful views out windows, private deck, wood burning fireplace. Saw an owl! Fishing very nearby but not exactly lakefront. Shower is excellent, kitchen has everything

Very unique spot. We loved it!

This was our second weekend at Cabin 3. We love the fireplace, the low key, unobtrusive host, Tom, the quirky vibes, and the woods! Our dogs love being there and Tom doesn’t charge a ton of money for them to stay. The cabin was well equipped and we saw a large barn owl perch for about half an hour just beyond the bedroom window!

If you're looking for a five star all inclusive resort, this is not the place for you. It's a charmingly rustic cabin tucked back in the woods. I've seen the negative reviews complaining about the random vehicles parked about or sheds sitting here and there and to be honest it made me want to book it even more. The cabin was PERFECT. The host, Tom, was so welcoming. You feel like you're in the backwoods somewhere but you're only a minute from town. We throughly enjoyed our stay and our only complaint was that it wasn't long enough. If you're looking for something different I highly recommend this lovely little place!

Super friendly and welcoming host!! But, the property could use some upkeep.

The cabin was as described. We enjoyed our overnight. The only negative is nobodys bed is my bed. Cabin was clean and had everything we needed. The owner was very helpful and friendly. We would definitely consider staying again.

Tom was kind and accommodating. It was relatively

Half of the outlets didn’t work. Pictures of the outside view showed lakefront and it was not even close to the pond. Grill that was advertised was unusable.

The cabin was cozy and in a great location. I loved all the artwork and decor. The host was friendly and available. We enjoyed the fireplace and the firepit. I would note that it only has one bed and a couch as the listing says it sleeps 4.

The cabin was very cozy but unfortunately did not get to use the fireplace because of the warm weather. We are looking forward to come back this fall or winter.

Wonderful spot, lots of nature, fantastic hosts, excellent fishing.

What a lovely little cabin. It is set deep in the woods. We loved the solitude. We loved our time away.

The artwork was amazing.

The large area around the cabin was like a junkyard. Inside was fine but plain.

Cute cabin, tucked back in the woods. There are out buildings nearby but no cabins nearby. Lots of cool artwork and a beautiful stone fireplace. Host checks in to see how you’re doing. Great AC!

Cozy cabin in the woods. Excellent AC during a hot August weekend.

Early check in was allowed. Property was scattered with junk/ trash on both sides of road driving to cabin. Broke down truck parked in road way. Cabin was filthy, yard was over grown and littered with discarded items. Cabin had not been deep cleaned in years. Owner was super nice, but obviously unable to maintain upkeep. Cabin skirting was lying on the ground, so any critter/ animal could come in. Light fixtures were covered with dust and cob webs. Mice were running from room to room. Basically expected a lot more from the pictures. Not what I expected for the amount paid. Sadly, will not be staying at this location, again.

Our host was very kind and responsive. The cabin was cozy and very quiet!

Great cozy cabin. Super clean

As a woman it’s scary to get to your VRBO rental and have 2 men come out saying they were renting it and staying there. I never got a phone number from the owner and ended up getting it from the guy who was already unpacking there. The door was unlocked as well according to those people. They called the owner and told them they were in the wrong cabin so they left, but i don’t know what they could have added or left in the place or if they even lied. Lots of dust everywhere and not clean in terms of dusting. The shower curtain had a lot of black mold on it. Very beautiful bedroom surrounded by windows and was amazing to wake up surrounded by nature and trees. The drive up was weird considering other people live around the area and leave their garbage out. I was just uncomfortable and uneasy and wish I had contact with the host. I even texted the number after our stay to let them know I started a load of towels in the laundry for them and got no response. Overall liked staying here, just not worth the price and felt a little unsafe.

The property is close enough to explore Carbondale and surrounding areas, yet secluded enough for a relaxing getaway feel!

booked last minute ane everything was great. Id go back

A great stay in a great little cabin. Woods around the cabin very active at nivht and makes a good place to sit and unwind.

This was our second stay. We will consiser stays in the future. The owner is very nice. /

We were only in town for a short time attending an event in Makanda. We decided to stay at the cabin on the hill and were not disappointed! Tom is a fantastic host with great communication. It was everything we expected and we would highly recommend to anyone.
