Luxurious 2BR Creekside Deckhouse w Saltwater Hot Tub

Everything was as described, property is beautiful and secluded, yet only ten minutes from town and multiple hiking trails. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a weekend away to recharge.

The property was amazing and my wife and I had a great relaxing long weekend. Ann was so helpful and communication was great!

Fantastic locations and cabin. Highly recommend.

Great property and the best owners! Loved the location for the winerys and parks. The hot tub was a major highlight of the property. Ann was excellent at communication and had suggestions of local establishments. If you are in the area. A must stay!

This is a wonderful place! Fully equipped kitchen, great host, the deck adds so much living space! A great place to come home to after a long day hiking or vineyard-hopping.

Great location, quiet porch and well equiped space. No dishwasher in the kitchen, but everything else was there. Really appreciated the washer / dryer!

Great weekend. Property was even nicer than the pictures show. The cabin had everything we needed and the host was prompt with answering any question I had. Definitely plan on staying here again in the future!

The cabin—really a guesthouse—is well-stocked and very comfortable: there are loads of blankets, pillows, coffee, spices, and cute decor. It was a great location for folks looking to explore the western portion of Shawnee Nat’l Forest, Shawnee Wine Trail wineries, state parks, & nearby towns. Ann was super responsive and offered helpful recommendations. Highly recommend.

PERFECT! We loved our time at this home! Comfortable and beautifully decorated. I could move in! :) Great girls' reunion weekend! Host is great. 10/10

Very peaceful and relaxing. Perfect place to hang out after hiking all day.

The place was absolutely amazing! A hidden gem. The space is beautiful. The owner put so much thought into the decor. The place was clean and provided all the essentials we needed and more. We will definitely be back and highly recommend.

This cabin is beautifully decorated and supplied with everything we needed during our stay. A very well appointed home! The beds and main-room seating areas are comfortable, stacked with ample pillows and throws. We loved the ceiling fans and the smart TV, which allowed us to watch our favorite shows in the evening after a long day of hiking and sightseeing. And the Wifi gave us access to our emails, restaurant and hiking sites, and my online dance class.Laundry supplies are provided, and Ann has programmed the washer and dryer for easy and effective results. A well-organized kitchen with plenty of refrigerator and freezer space. The main room, with its vaulted ceiling, is is a joy to sit in, nicely divided into kitchen, eating, and living room space. High windows bring in in natural light all day. The room's chandelier is charming. And there's another chandelier in the bathroom, also fun.The cabin's location is peaceful and quiet, and we enjoyed the country seclusion and the sounds of crickets at night.Best of all, Ann is one of the best hosts we've had in our many years of renting VRBO propertiies. She is very prompt and helpful in responding to our messages and questions. She lives a short ways down the road, so we always felt we could reach out to her if we had any concerns. (We didn't have any!)Overall, our experience at Ann's cabin was a 10 out of 10. And Ann deserves her ranking as a premier host.

This VRBO was new and swaggy! The decorating was impeccable! I wish I had her taste! We came down for a tour of the Shawnee Wine Trail and do some hiking and this house is perfectly located in the center of it all. It is a hop skip and jump from Giant City State Park which has fabulous hiking and really close to Cobden and Makanda both adorable little towns. Blue Sky Winery was our favorite after visiting 4 of the local wineries. We also enjoyed her outdoor living space on the back patio listening to all the night creatures and having a fire. Everything was provided except food! This was the perfect place!

The house was great. Clean and updated. Location was great. Quiet with the deck overlooking a forest in back. Quite a bit of wildlife. Absolutely no complaints.

The house is clean and well kept. Mrs. Ann is a wonderful host.

Our family stayed over graduation weekend. Location was so convenient, near campus as well as the wineries. Cabin is clean and as described.

This retreat was absolutely lovely. We did not want to leave. Gorgeous decor, relaxing views on the deck, comfortable beds, everything you could need in the kitchen, and it just has a cozy feel. Next time I travel to Carbondale, I’ll be sure to stay here again!

What a wonderful place for a getaway. Beautiful cabin with everything you could ask for. Very quiet and peaceful, just what we needed. Would definitely stay again if we are ever back to the area. Great hosts and communication.

The property was beautiful and exactly as described. We appreciated all of the thoughtful, detailed, and luxurious touches that the host has added. The location is fantastic, close to SIU and close to trails and natural beauty. The kids especially enjoyed the creek and fire pit on site! Thank you for having such a beautiful place where we could create family memories. We are already planning a return visit!

This is our second time staying here and we will always stay here when we come to visit if it's available. The setting is perfect and so are the accommodations. It just feels like home, only better!

My husband and I lost one of our sons in 2019, and obviously the holidays are devastating. Each years end we try to find someplace to go to find peace and bring in another year. I found this cabin on VRBO last minute and luckily it was available. From the second we opened the door, I was impressed. I loved the decor, the furniture and towels and essentials left for us to use. The porch and fire pit area look wonderful and hopefully on our next stay the weather will allow us to enjoy them too.The property manager was very responsive and replied to my email quickly. The property was updated and very stylish, with decor and furniture for any interest.We will definitely be back soon!!Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin with us.

This is a really beautiful place! We didn’t want to leave. Private, beautifully decorated, comfortable. The deck is a great addition.

Beautiful place to stay!! Quiet and peaceful!!

Even though our Salukis could not get the win we enjoyed our stay again. Property is awesome. Better than advertised.
