What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“My husband and I rented Cabin 2 for three nights. Everything was clean and stocked with all the essential items. Very peaceful and relaxing!!! We will definitely come back!!! Even our little pup was relaxed.”
“Another amazing stay last weekend for my birthday. The cabin was clean and cozy, stocked with everything we could have needed. My boyfriend watched three deer cross the front yard. We did a little hiking and stopped at a few local restaurants, The Iron Whisk was our favorite. We will definitely be back.!”
“This is my favorite place to get away. These cabins are in a perfect, secluded setting in the deep Southern Illinois Woods. I’ve stayed in two different cabins and they both were lovely. Clean hot-tubs, wonderful interiors to the cabins- the beds are comfortable and the linens were clean! I’m staying here whenever I visit Southern Illinois!”
“Had a wonderful stay at cabin 3. It exceeded our expectations. Cabin was clean and comfortable in the 90° weather. Hot tub was perfect for the warm evening. Secluded and quiet. Will definitely stay again.”
“My wife and I have stayed at these cabins yearly since 2015. They are always clean and cozy. They are secluded in the woods providing privacy and the enjoyment of nature. We highly recommend them for a romantic getaway or family reunion. We have done both.”
“This was exactly what we were looking for to have a relaxing weekend. Easy to find, feels secluded but just 15 minutes from restaurants and grocery stores. Pet friendly which was wonderful and the cabin was very clean. We loved the fire pit and hot tub. And cabin is very close to several hiking areas. It is perfect for a peaceful weekend getaway!”
