Absolutely a wonderful place to get away from the big city. We needed to unwind and just relax. This was the perfect place. The cabin was great with everything we wanted and needed. Hot tub was a highlight. Quiet, peaceful and serene setting. Spring was in full bloom here. Exceptional views abound on the property and the surrounding areas.

We stayed here previously but it was under different ownership. The new owners have done a great job of making it really comfortable. It was a perfect spot for us to visit family and have our own space close by.

Spring break Southern Illinois

Fantastic little cabin, perfect location for wineries and outdoor activities. If you've never been to the area you are missing out. Everything is exactly as described and our stay was excellent. It was great to find a pet friendly location, the fenced in back yard is an amazing feature for dog owners. We will definitely come back.

Perfect cozy getaway!

A friend and I and our sons (who are BFFs) booked this home as a little spring break getaway, to get our city kids out into nature. It was perfect. The area is beautiful, and the house is so charming. We spent time hiking in Giant City State Park and Shawnee, relaxing in the hot tub, and just enjoying our time together. The house is really nicely set up for a family or a small group. The boys, who are 10 and 11, were obsessed with the loft area. We enjoyed a gorgeous sunrise our last morning, and all the stars we could see both nights. The hosts were helpful and friendly. The beds were comfy, and the WiFi was speedy enough for what little screen time the boys needed. My son is already begging to go back, and with all the wineries and orchards nearby, I imagine we’ll be visiting again soon! Thank you!

20th anniversary getaway

This property was so cute and perfect for our anniversary. It's quiet and private, but not too far from the highway and attractions such as the wine trail and hiking. The owners responded quickly when I had questions. We will definitely consider coming back here and maybe even bringing our children, as their is enough space for all of us.
