This was a beautiful house with great amnesties. The pond on the property was filled with bass and bluegill and we had a great time fishing. The house was conveniently located near town and was setup nicely for a relaxing weekend.

This property was perfect for our group, plus the property owners were very kind and very communicative. There is a lot to do (between the hot tub and fishing pond and firepit and game room, etc.), and we really enjoyed ourselves. We saw deer in the yard every single day, and it was a very peaceful getaway. I would recommend this property to anyone!

Had everything we needed. We actually looked to book again for the summer so we could enjoy the pond and pool. Everything was clean and there was enough towels, blankets, and pillows available for use.
We enjoyed lots of wildlife every morning.

One of our favorite houses!! Pictures do not do it justice. The grounds are so beautiful. House is very spacious and other than a step or two, is handicap accessible (I needed a walker due to an ankle injury and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to get around the house with a walker). Host was very responsive to questions. Kitchen had everything you could possibly need. Plenty of games and puzzles to do. Kids loved the pool table, pool, and hot tub. Pool was large, a good temperature, and the cleanest pool we have ever seen (they have a robot vacuum which does a great job). Bring your fishing poles- the fish do bite (my son got 3 in ten minutes). Was gorgeous and would definitely recommend. We did some hiking- Garden of the Gods was our favorite. Kids highly recommend the inflatable island at Lake Egypt (40 min drive). The bed in the master bedroom was firm and the others were soft so I would recommend trying the bed before you pick your room. They have some raccoon friends that try to get in the garbage cans every night which you can see from 2 of the rooms and my kids sat by the windows every night and watched them and thought it was the greatest thing ever. Definitely a memorable trip and would stay again if we’re ever in the area.

We had an amazing stay at this cabin. It was perfectly laid out for our family and the space felt even better in person. The pictures in the listing do not do it justice. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed which made meals easy and enjoyable. The property is beautiful and watching the deer wander through was incredibly peaceful.We highly recommend this cabin and our family will definitely be coming back.

We are a Bunco group who try to take a trip together every year. This year there were 8 of us. We spent a day enjoying the pool and another day shuttling on the wine trail. The house was a perfect place to hang in the evenings.

Annual Family Trip was amazing!

We had a lovely time at the property. Kasia and Frank are wonderful hosts who really understand the motto "it's in the details". We have 5 kids ranging from 7-15 and they loved the pool, playing yard games throughout the beautiful property, and fishing. The adults loved the pool deck and gorgeous firepit. Highly recommend!

Our Stay Was Fantastic!

We loved our entire trip. We all said the pictures do not do the house justice. Beautiful property & fantastic hosts. They have catch and release fishing, the pool is large and clean, hot tub is hot. Everything is well thought out. Leave your beach towels at home, they have plenty. Beds are comfortable! The only thing we could think was missing is kayaks or canoes, but that is a luxury not a need. I hate to go on too much or it may never be available to book again! Haha! Possibly the best rental we have stayed in.

Exceeded Expectations

Found this gem by accident. We were looking for something close to home but wanted to feel like we were on a resort. This cabin was exactly what we needed- high end and extremely private. Don’t pack much because they provide just about everything! We enjoyed watching all the wild life and listening to the kids giggle while playing in the pool - just a relaxing time and making new memories. Very close to town if you need to grab incidentals or try some local restaurants. We will definitely be returning and already planning our next trip. You will enjoy the hosts Kathy & Frank - very attentive!

Family Thanksgiving 2023

We chose your cabin as a central location for family coming in for the holiday. We had folks from Florida, Missouri, and Indiana. We couldn’t have chosen a better place! The cabin had an incredible atmosphere. The attention to detail and amenities couldn’t be beat. Plenty of room for all 12 of us to gather, play games, enjoy the fireplaces, laugh, and make memories. Liked it so well, we already booked time in the summer to come back. And everyone wants to join! Thank you again for sharing your home with us! See ya next year 💙

Absolutely amazing home!

This was our third summer vacationing with friends and it was by far the best. We had four adults and five kids between 4 and 13. Everyone enjoyed the home. The attention to detail is superb. They provided more amenities than any rental I have had before. The house, pool, and property are clearly cared for well. The beds and furniture are so comfortable. Our kids loved the pool and animal visitors. They also played restaurant with the bar and made us all slushies and snacks! We enjoyed reading by the fireplace and playing games together. We also ventured out for hiking in Ferne Clyffe and Giant City, swimming at Kincaid, and bowling. Thank you for your wonderful communication and hospitality! We would certainly rent again.My only note for future renters - there are no weights in the gym anymore, which is probably wise, but there are two bikes and an elliptical.

Perfect for day trips in central/west Shawnee

This location was absolutely perfect for a combination of winery tours and hiking. It is tucked away off the road for a wonderful sense of privacy. The overall house was immaculately clean and sparkled just like in the photos. Kitchen was very large with two sink areas for prep. The professional stove took a minute to figure out but then cooking was a breeze. The only issue we had in the kitchen is that we never did figure out how to turn on the lights above the stove. All the bedrooms and bathrooms were large and well decorated. One of the downstairs bedrooms had an extremely high bed which could have used a little step stool, tucked under the bed. One of our party has been sold on joys of a self-opening/closing and heated toilet seat! ( Downstairs bedroom closest to pool) The pool was shutdown for the season but we used the gas firepit and blue tooth speakers. There were many types of accent lights around the house that added to the welcoming feeling. Our party had mixed feelings on the hot tube. It was kept at 95 F which some thought was too cold while others were fine with it as they felt that they could stay in it longer without overheating. The lake is well stocked and my son caught the largest bluegill he has ever seen. Plenty of crappies and bass as well. We are already talking about planning a spring trip and trying to stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Curkov

Host profile image
I am from the Midwest and I truly enjoy being an Airbnb host. We want any stay at one of our EMBERS properties to be a truly great experience. We keep our guests in mind when we decorate and clean. Every time trying to think how we can make a guest's stay a relaxing a memorable getaway. I am a Google local guide with almost 5M views of my posts and I am developing a travel website.

Why they chose this property

Southern Illinois is amazing. We first discovered it when finding the cabin in Murphysboro. We fell in love with the cabin, hiking, fishing, wine trail and all the beauty that nature provides this gem of an area!

What makes this property unique

This cabin is our retirement home. We found it 10 years before we retire but we wanted to share it and open it to guests who want to have an amazing cabin experience just like we have every time we stay at EMBERS of MURPHYSBORO. We want you to make memories and come back to the cabin as much as you can!
