    We had such a relaxing stay at this cabin! It was in the perfect location for day hikes at Giant City and Ferne Clyffe, and even Garden of the gods was not too far of a drive. We were able to hike during the day, come back and wash away nature, go visit local wineries and still come back and enjoy the lovely view off the back deck and see the unobstructed stars. The cabin was clean, beautifully decorated, and had every amenity we needed. We both slept like rocks as the bed was super cozy! Check in and check out were extremely easy and Steve was just a text away if needed. We are already talking about coming back with our kids!

    My husband and I needed to disconnect from our busy lives. Coming down to the Shawnee area turned out to be the best choice, and this cabin played a large part in that! On the exterior, the cabin is well-seasoned now, showing a history of nature rightfully integrating into the wood. The interior is as cozy as it looks! It's an intimate space with excellent air circulation, fantastic water supply, and plenty of privacy. We came with our dog Mack, who's been lacking adventures lately ever since he was diagnosed with epilepsy. The road trip to this cabin was a big test for us, as we had never travelled this far with our dog before (6 hours). We're happy to report that the road trip was a success! Mack found the most comfort in the living room, where he had plenty of room on the floor to sprawl out and make rotations when he snoozed. We especially love the view behind the cabin - wide, open fields where we saw an abundance of life: cows far out in the pasture, deer grazing just beyond the property, birds-a-plenty (some we're not used to seeing), and even a healthy, large fox travelling across the property. The property owner, Steve, was an excellent host! He is sincere and so responsive. We appreciated the attention to detail as he messaged us when we first booked, and throughout our stay he was so quick to reply to any questions or updates we had. We will absolutely be back and can't wait to explore more of what this area has to offer!

    The Tool Shed is a creatine remake of a house that is transformed into a double suite for couples or families with a common central area. Think queen bed, your own bathroom and your own sitting area with TV, then switched to a mirror image on the other side of the house for the second suite. Kitchen and common family room divide the two. Lovely deck and views. Ice appliances but the outdoor grill needs some serious maintenance. You are next door to another close house, but still have fairly complete privacy. The pictures are accurate and I cannot emphasize enough how clean this property is. The host is very responsive and fun. Highly recommend!

    I love the layout and the view. Great for two couples. There is a sulfur smell, probably from the well water, and the place could have used a sweet and dusting to get out cobwebs and dead bugs, but otherwise it was nice.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a wonderful stay at this charming cabin in southern Illinois! The property was spotless, well-equipped, and in a serene location—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The cozy interior and stunning outdoor views made our time here unforgettable. A special shoutout to Steve, the owner, who went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. His communication was prompt and friendly, and he provided excellent recommendations for local attractions and dining. Even after we left, Steve followed up to address suggestions we offered to improve the cabin, showing how much he genuinely cares about his guests' experiences. The location couldn’t have been better—it is close to the Southern Illinois Wine Trail, which has 11 fantastic wineries and two amazing parks: Ferne Clyffe State Park and Giant City State Park. Both parks offer incredible hiking trails and breathtaking scenery, adding many adventures to our trip. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with outstanding hospitality and plenty to explore nearby, this is the place to stay. We can’t wait to return and highly recommend it to anyone planning a getaway!
