Quiet location, but close enough to the state park for hiking and close to town if need anything.

Less than 5 minutes from Giant City state park, which we visited several times. At the end of the evening the restaurants in Carbondale are only a short drive as well (most of them are less than 10 minutes). The cabin was nice and just as expected. Cheaper than a hotel and much more room. We were also able to bring our dog along with us to hike. The host had complimentary snacks, popcorn, and coffee available. I would definitely stay here again and absolutely recommend it to anyone who is looking for something similar.

Nice place

I think they should update the pics on this one because I expected it to be “eh” but it was nice. The living space is bigger than it looked too. I like having a kitchen so we don’t have to eat out constantly. It sits in a convenient location for the area, and I’d stay here again. I think the dogs would have liked the deck if it had been warm enough.
