About this property

Couple's Retreat with HOT TUB

The Couple Retreat is designed solely for one couple. No pets, no kids, nobody but you and your significant other. It's a place where you can relax, reconnect and rejuvenate. This cabin has everything you need to make your stay restful and soothing, with 750 square feet of living space all on one level. It offers one beautifully furnished bedroom with a queen bed, large dresser and a flat screen TV and DVD. The great room has a cozy stone, gas fireplace with a large flat screen TV above it. A comfortable couch for lounging space. The full size kitchen has beautiful hickory cabinets stocked with everything you need to cook and serve your meals. With a refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave and dishwasher, you'll be able to prepare wonderful meals if you choose. Of course we also provide a toaster and coffee maker. For those of you who enjoy a steak or burger from the grill, you'll find a charcoal grill on the screened in back porch. For added convenience we provide a washer and dryer as well.

And the best part, we just put in a BRAND New hot tub!!! Perfect for the two of you! Soak away all your worries.

If you want to enjoy Mother Nature all you have to do is step outside. You'll love watching the deer graze while kicking back in the rocking chairs on the covered front porch. In the winter just snuggle up in front of the fireplace. We provide WiFi and movies.

Great get away cabin!

It was perfect. It was secluded enough to feel very private, but close to town. Everything we needed was provided. The bed was very comfortable. The screened in porch with hot tub was very private. We would definitely stay here again.

Secluded, but close to everything

I stayed at the cabin for 2 nights while working out of town. When I arrived, there were several deer out front. My stay was peaceful and quiet. It was exactly what I needed after a day at work.

"Just what we needed."

These are the words me and my wife keep repeating after our stay at Couples Retreat. No stress, no mess this place was perfect. The hustle and bustle of life was put on hold, and we were able to just focus on us uninterrupted for a few days.

Larger than I would have guessed. Secluded yet close to town. Well-outfitted for cooking. Suitable for work and relaxation. Perfect for 1 or 2 people. Lovely wooded surroundings and cozy for all four seasons.

This cabin and property was everything and more than we expected. The cabin was very clean and cute and the property was private. The kitchen was very well set up and the bathroom/shower area was great. The front porch was very enjoyable and the back porch area was perfect. The screened in area with the hot tub was an excellent addition to the cabin. The covered area next to the screened in back porch was a perfect set up for the charcoal grill and made it enjoyable to cookout. We also were pleased this cabin had a firepit area. We have stayed at several other cabins in the Carbondale area and this one is our new favorite. We’ll definitely visit again.

What an amazing cabin. We loved the quiet location and the cabin was well stocked with everything you could need. Alison checked in with us throughout our stay to ensure we were settled in and to see if we had any questions. We loved waking up in the morning to see peacocks walking by. We can't wait to stay here again soon!

The cabin was very clean, and I paid for some enhancements, which were delivered as promised. It’s secluded enough from the city, but not too far of a drive if you want to go into town. The only thing I would change is the bed; I wish it were bigger. Other than that, I would definitely recommend this place. We pulled a bass boat with us, and it was manageable, but if you have a pontoon or a larger boat, you might struggle a bit.
