Outdoor Midwest adventures await! This charming cottage sits on six acres, located just down the road from the Shawnee National Forest. Drive 12 miles to enjoy the scenic beauty of the Garden of the Gods Recreation Area.
A cozy, covered deck offers outdoor seating, creating a tranquil spot to sip a glass of wine during sunset. The private hot tub is perfect for unwinding and releasing your cares and worries. As evening falls, gather around the firepit and swap stories under the stars.
Inside, an updated interior offers plenty of space to unwind with a welcoming living area. The well-equipped kitchen is detailed with stainless steel appliances, providing everything you’ll need for home-cooked meals after a hearty day of hiking.
