Very nice and clean property. We will likely stay there again when we come down to visit my daughter in college. Very close to SIU campus. The only things I wanted to bring up are the internet was in and out most of the time we were there and also there is a leak under sink of middle bathroom. But those are not big issues at all.

Great location

This is a great place to stay if you want to visit Giant City State Park and surrounding area. The house has a small indoor gathering area but the deck is spacious and the hot tub and view of the moon over the golf course were wonderful.

Great cabin getaway

The cabin was very clean and well kept. It had everything we needed and was very quiet and peaceful. The large back deck was really nice, and was great for grilling. We would highly recommend this property and area. We’d definitely stay here again!

Clean and comfortable. Did not use the hot tub as outside temp was in single digits. Location was great with lots of hiking around and close proximity to city for shopping and restaurants. Would stay again for sure!

Location was a priority. We wanted something close to the hospital in Carbondale for the birth of our first grandbaby. House was clean. Bathrooms were amazing! Hot tub and fire table were wonderful. Highly recommend.

Weekend Trip

The cabin was clean, nicely updated and the kitchen had everything you needed to cook a meal for the family. The back deck and hot tub were a nice place to relax after hiking all day. The owner was easy to get a hold and took care of all our needs. My husband and I plan to come back and visit the winetrail.

Adventure with my sisters

My sisters and I spent the week in the cabin during a 7 1/2 inch snow event, with temperatures in the single digits. The cabin was as described and we were very comfortable. We cooked all our meals in the kitchen everyday and greatly enjoyed the hot tub. Would come back in the future and hopefully would be able to visit some wineries and do some hiking. Great host!!

This cabin was perfect for my wifes 40th birthday getaway! We invited two other couples to join us. We explored the views of southern Illinois, went to many local wineries and ended out evening sitting around the fire pit and soaking in the hottub! It was good to get away from reality and decompress with some close friends. We shared many laughs and life stories. Talked about our kids and goals in life. Steve(owner) stopped and introduced himself as we were unloading our things on the first night! He made it perfectly clear that if we needed anything at all to call and he would be sure we were taken care of. We will definitely be back to enjoy another weekend.

The cabin was well-stocked and is in a great location, close to many of the hiking trails and vineyards we visited. We had a couple of hiccups first with Wi-Fi and then the dishwasher, but the owner was very responsive and provided excellent communication. Also, the hot tub was a welcome respite at the end of our hiking days :-)
