About this property

Relaxing Unique Cave Creek Cabin 2 in Shawnee near Alto Pass and Bald Knob Cross

Cave Creek is a peaceful little stream running through our wooded property. Sit at the drink rail on the upper deck and let the relaxing sounds of the creek ease your cares away.

Conveniently located on the western edge of the Shawnee Wine Trail, our cabin is close to the many activities, wineries, breweries or restaurants the region has to offer. Enjoy the orchard blooms in the spring and in summer and fall, the bountiful harvest is available at the orchard stores. Our cabin offers the perfect accommodations for a family reunion, pre-wedding event, wedding weekend or a quite, relaxing getaway with friends.

Beautiful artisan crafted wood features and furniture made from reclaimed wood throughout make the cabin unique. The comfort of our guests is foremost in our minds. The cabin is multi level with two large covered decks overlooking Cave Creek so you can enjoy relaxing outdoors even on a rainy day. A spacious 1500 sq ft, the cabin can sleep up to 8 guests, has a full kitchen stocked with cookware and dinnerware. The kitchen, dining area for 8, and living area with gas fireplace, recliner and HD-TV are located on the entry level. A bedroom, with very comfortable queen bed, a full bath and a sleeper sofa are located on each level.

The large family area, featuring board games and game table, satellite, HD-TV, DVD/CD player are located on the lower level. With a bedroom and full bath on each level, our cabins are perfect for multi couples or families. Our showers have great water pressure, too!

Luxurious linens and bath towels provided. Soap, shampoo, paper products and some cleaning supplies available. Large vanities in the bath and hair dryers for our guest's needs.

A dusk to dawn security light illuminates the parking area and cabin entry. A fire pit and grilling area (charcoal grill) are located on the creek side of the cabin. Relax around a crackling fire, take a leisurely walk on the quite lane or have a seat on the covered decks listening to the creek as it passes by.

Just north of Alto Pass, off Highway 127 on a quiet country lane, our property is located in the midst of orchard property making it a tranquil setting. There's tons of great hiking trails or good fishing nearby. You can take a pottery class, zip line through the Shawnee canopy, learn to repel at the state park or you could just relax while sipping some locally crafted wine or brews. Take a short drive to the Bald Knob Cross of Peace, located on the most prominent elevation in So. Illinois, for a multi state view or unforgettable sunrise.

About the host

Hosted by Roger

Host profile image
Raised in rural Southern Illinois in a family that loved to camp and fish, I enjoyed the beauty of this region long before attending Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. In adult life, I've been both a home builder and a woodworker. I also love good wine, good food and meeting people. And that's how the vision for Cave Creek Cabin emerged. The home builder designed the cabins for comfort and function. The woodworker wanted the beautiful wood features. But mostly, I wanted a great place for people to gather, relax and make great memories.
