Secluded Lodge on 75 Acres PRIME Location by wineries, Porch Swing Bed, Fire Pit

Matt’s cabin is perfect!!!! Great location, clean and quiet. Beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is loaded with everything you need to cook if you wish. Nice outdoor grill and firepit along with plenty of outdoor seating on a large deck. We loved it

We took friends who had only been to Southern Illinois once in their lives along with us. We loved it; they loved it! It was hard to leave the the serenity of the cabin to go hiking! Saw the same lone turkey every morning. We would rent this cabin again in the future.

Very nice property Clean, secluded, great location and very roomy. Only complaint is NO WIFI. Didn't bother all the guest's but a few just didn't like not being able to keep in touch with family. Overall rate 8 out of 10.

We stayed here with a group of 9 for a weekend of winery visits. The location was perfect. The home felt plenty spacious and had all the amenities we needed. The availability of cell service and lack of wifi was an issue at times. The view from sitting on the deck was beautiful. It was a great weekend getaway. I'd love to go back again some day

Great home!

This place is absolutely gorgeous. It was more than we imagined and the pictures don't do it justice. It was the perfect getaway for our family. It was close to hiking, horseback riding and of course the Shawnee Wine Trail. It was so peaceful and the property is well maintained. We enjoyed being unplugged and forcing our kids to live like the 1900s (if you know, you know).

The cabin was very nice, fully stocked kitchen. Lots of outdoor space and a very nice swinging bed on the front porch for relaxing. Really close to our favorite winery, Blue Sky.

Kitchen is well stocked - 2 coffee makers.

We had a great time at our stay. The lodge plus a bonfire really made a fun Fourth of July weekend.

We came for a long weekend and were not disappointed. The bedroom in the basement was a little strange but I slept just fine! I loved that there was no wifi. We saw lots of wildlife and nice wineries were close by.

Great star at the Firefly…the amount of room was great for our party of 5. And Really clean. Deck area needs more lighting, comfortable seats and rehab on the deck. Maybe update the listing too - no leather sofas in the living room. No WiFi at all. Needs more seating in the living room. But overall great peaceful location easy to access all of southern Illinois favorites.

Very quiet peaceful location. enjoyed the firefly display every evening

The proerty and accommodations were perfect for a multigenerational family gathering. 1st floor bedrooms were handicap accessible for 82 year old grandma and outdoor areas perfect for 3 and 5 year old granddaughters to run and explore! aexplorafter sitting

Cabin was adequate. Comfortable and near wine trails. Lady bugs were a little overwhelming but all in all fun.

We booked this property for a weekend away with some friends. It was perfect for us (3 couples). The beds and furnishings were comfortable. It would’ve been nice to have another small loveseat or armchairs in the living room for extra seating but we managed. The outdoor area is beautiful, with plenty of seating options. Bring some firewood or be prepared to search the woods if you want to use the fire pit. The only thing that would be nice would be WiFi - but that wasn’t a big deal for us and it was nice to unplug for a while. We would definitely stay here again!!

The property was beautiful. However, we found a shirt and a glow stick that was not ours in the upstairs bathroom and bedroom. Makes me question how well the property was cleaned. When we got there, the doors were Unlocked and one of them was open. We assume that’s how the mouse got in. We found the mouse in the Keurig in the morning. We notified the owner who did come over right away. However, he came in with an attitude of accusing us. We had to show him pictures and the dead mouse, He took the Keurig with him and never replaced it. The property did have gorgeous views and we did see some forest animals, which was really cool.

Celebrating a birthday. Winery visits were fun. Not a lot of restaurants but plenty of options at the wineries for a light meal. Beautiful property. Lots of deer wild turkeys and other wildlife. House was very nice. 4th bedroom is down stairs. It’s basically in the garage but overall it’s a great place to stay.

Lovely space that was clean and had plenty of bedrooms for our group to spread out! Beautiful property, very serine and relaxing. I didn’t realize there wasn’t WiFi until last minute which was my fault and I probably should’ve printed out our check in information before we lost service. Otherwise it was great to disconnect and be off grid for a few days (there is service just down the road so it is still easy to get to other places). My only other complaint was that we couldn’t figure out how to turn on some of the light fixtures (specifically the big overhead light in the living room but there was plenty of other lighting to supplement). The kitchen and grill worked great for us and was well stocked with everything we needed!
