Amazing stay!!

Everything about the property was excellent! Quiet, peaceful and centrally located to what we had planned. The kayaks were a hit with my teens and the adults were able to enjoy a few wineries.

Fantastic

We had a great stay. Plenty of outdoor opportunities to do even over a rainy weekend. Hiking, biking, running, trials, wineries, fun food places all within a short distance and a cozy place to wrap the days up at.

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.

This property is the perfect hidden gem! It was great to get a way to peace & quiet in this beautifully decorated cabin. You can lounge around the ponds and fish or take a short drive to local trails and restaurants. Thanks so much for the hospitality!

Modern cabin, beautiful location

We had a great stay at the White Oak Cabin! The amenities were all up to date and the cabin was gorgeous! Our host Allison was quick to answer all of our questions. We are a family of four and also brought along our two dogs. They had provided a dog dish, placemat, and towel. Although it isn't a huge cabin, we were all perfectly comfortable. Having two older kids, we brought along an air mattress which wasn't needed because the cabin had one stowed under a bed, which we weren't expecting. It was a nice surprise! We had also brought along a bag of charcoal for the grill, but a partial bag was already there along with some lighter fluid. We used that and paid it forward by leaving ours there for the next people to use. We enjoyed the hammock and spent a lot of time out on the deck. The property is gorgeous! The only complaint we would have is that it would be nice if there was a mowed walkway all around the pond, not just the path to walk down to it. We have already recommended Southern Illinois Vacation Rentals to several friends and family. Thanks for a great stay!
