Adorable cabin that is both rustic and chic. It had all we needed and more. Very secluded and serene. The hammock and fishing ponds were heavenly and the hot tub was clean and comfortable. The hiking trails at Ferne Clyffe State park were amazing and unique, and the Blue Sky Winery was worth a stop. The Giant City Lodge was rustic and historic, great dining experience. Overall a relaxing stay in Southern Illinois

Everything was just as hoped, and we had a wonderful stay at the White Oak cabin. Communication was fantastic, the cabin was clean and included everything we needed for comfort and to prepare meals. The hot tub was in perfect working order, the views were lovely and we were able to visit Giant City, Ferne Clyffe, Little Grand Canyon, Garden of the Gods and Rim Rock across 2.5 days. We would not hesitate to return!

Restful and quiet

This was a great place to stay! The setting is perfect for a quiet getaway to enjoy the country and nature. I took advantage of the kayaks on the small lake, bird watched from the deck, napped in the hammocks, and went hiking nearby. It was an absolutely lovely and restful vacation.

Pleasant country getaway with stunning views.

We wanted to get out of the city for the weekend and this was a great spot for it. Nice views and very remote yet close enough to Carbondale that we didn’t feel like it was a big distance to hang out in town and pick up some grocery items. Had a great time kayaking on the on-site pond. Also very close to many nature trails including a 5-minute drive to Panther Den trailhead. Overall, I would definitely come back.
