Nice place!

This was probably the best rental experience I've had. No surprises and quick communication with our host. Would highly recommend this place.

Always a great place to stay and the only one we look for when we visit our daughter at SIU.

Everything was great! In one of the other cabins they had three dogs and they were loud. Alto winery was a great visit. Fast response from owner. Would definitely go back.

Pictures didn't do it justice. Owner answer questions very quickly. The only thing I wish is it had a full kitchen. Would definitely stay again

Description was perfect. Price was appropriate. Host was easy to contact.

Very impressed at how well stocked the cabin is, very close to many places we enjoy to venture.

We stayed three nights. We were able to get around to many great hiking and rock climbing spots. Everything was smooth and easy and the cabin is very comfortable

Property was exactly what we needed. Great price for the 6 nights we needed to explore the area.

After passing an open field with a large pond to accompany it; you’re greeted with over 10 burgundy wooden cabins

Very nice accomodations

This isn’t our first stay. We’ve been here several times over the years visiting our school while he’s going to school and spending time in the Shawnee area. Great place to stay and convenient to all activities.

The cabin was comfortable and a great location for our weekend activities.

Was overall a nice place and very accommodating with the exception of a griddle or cooktop didn’t realize there was not a stove so maybe a pizza oven? This was not a huge problem at all just a suggestion, we enjoyed our stay and it was close to everything we wanted to do!!! Thank you

Cabin was cozy and clean, well equipped. Close to attractions: Giant City State Park and Lodge, Little Grand Canyon, Makanda strip of little shops, Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge, Shawnee Hills Wine Trail, late Senator Paul Simon’s final resting place.

Garden of the Gods has been on my bucket list for years. I found this cabin and it was perfect. The pictures don’t do it justice. Our Manager (Steven) was great from start to finish. We will be back and have already recommended to family and friends

It was a good place for our hiking adventures. Would stay again if we come back

It was a great stay! As advertised. Comfortable and homey.

No TV service. Streaming only No networks no sports

I have nothing but gushing reviews for my Makanda Cabin stay. The cabin was easy to navigate to. When I opened the door I found a clean, comfortable, well appointed place, with two good size bedrooms, living room with fireplace, a bathroom stocked with plenty of towels and soap. There was a basket full of treats on the kitchen table. Hangers were in the closets, luggage rack and lots of shelves to organise wedding and hiking clothing. I could truly relax there. My son was able to help out with wedding preparations for his friend in nearby Carbondale, I was free to explore the hiking trails, (Giants City, Garden of the Gods, Panoma Natural Bridge, etc) and attend an outdoor music festival at Grassy Lake. We did not use the cabin's kitchen to meal prep, as I found some lovely places to eat in Cobden, Carbondale... - and of course the Giant City Lodge... ( I even bought an apple pie from a near by orchard for the wedding party.) This location was very quiet at night. I felt quite safe jogging around the near by homes / golf course in the early morning. I would love to stay there again and would recommend this cozy spot to wine tasters, trail hikers and the like.

Good

We enjoyed our visit in the clean and cozy cabin. The weather was beautiful and provided the opportunity to gaze at stars not often seen at home.

Our weekend was made so much easier when we had a lovely place to stay with lots of room. Thank you!

A great place good sized and very clean.

Close to everything we needed, winery’s, hiking, Giant City our SIU student. Yet far enough away in a quiet quant cabin south of Carbondale. We will be back.

Property was accessible. The shower was great. The cabin was in a great location, close to lots of different activities. The furniture was easy to move to meet our needs. Steve was super responsive when we had an issue, and he fixed it right away!
