Host kept communication with us, the cabin was very roomy and comfortable beds, fireplace beautiful, clean and beds made beautifully. I complimented the host on many inclusions that we usually do not get especially the Folgers Coffee and creamers. We were a group of 8 ladies in our senior years so we noted such things as plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, nice bath towels, spray deodorizers in each bathroom, privacy, 1 king master suite and 4 queen beds. Only recommended safety bar in shower and longer handrail to the bottom of the stairs to the lower level. Would definitely stay again and very good communication.

This was the perfect property for our extended family vacation of six adults, two dogs, and a toddler! The house and property provided ample space for us to be together but also room for quiet down time, naps, reading, and enjoying the back deck. We cooked all our meals in the well-equipped kitchen, played board games at the large kitchen table, and watched a movie on the big TV. We enjoyed hiking in the nearby Shawnee National Forest, especially Giant City State Park. We stopped for groceries in Carbondale on our way into town, and made a quick dash there for a couple things on another day. It's nice to have those resources so close by. Though there are a couple of nearby houses, the property is very private and quiet. We even hired a local photographer to take family pictures on the grounds with all the trees behind us. I had some questions during our stay, and the host or her assistant was very responsive. We can confidently recommend this property!
