Amazing view. Quiet and serene. Cabin was a convenient location to the hiking we planned. Would have preferred a much firmer bed, otherwise a good stay.

The grounds are beautiful. The property is rundown, but the managers are slowly renovating and are open to suggestions. The view of the river from the shared back deck was lovely, but our experience was spoiled by an inconsiderate guest chain smoking upwind from us.

We took a chance to go to southern illinois because we never went to Shawnee forest. It was a lovely stay. The ybit was wonderful and set on a cliff above the Ohio river. Kitchen and bathroom were great. Great water pressure in shower. Back dwck was great to sit and relax at in the night time. Nice fire put out back. Was more a wonderful place to stay than doing acticities on site. We left to find adventured and activities nearby. It is set perfectly for short drives to the forest or to state parks on the river which we spent the days visiting and exploring the area. Lots of sights to see and places to experience.

We had a great stay. The place was very clean and comfortable. The beds were so nice. Our favorite was sitting out on the deck overlooking the river. It was a peaceful getaway. We were even able to take a short trail down to the river. I highly recommend a stay here.

It was beautiful and peaceful! It was just the get away i needed from the hustle and bustle of work life. Close to the hiking that i wanted to do, but not close to anything that was a distra tion from the peace.

Location, location, location!

We had a lovely 3 night stay at The San Damiano! We did some hiking in The Shawnee National Forest and chose this on VRBO as it was 25-50 minutes from everything we wanted to see! The location was so gorgeous, we could have spent the entire time on the back porch enjoying the view! Thank you so much, everything was wonderful!
Enjoyed watching the cows across the river graze and wade!
Bring your binoculars!
A flock of white pelican’s gracefully landed in front of us and then float down the river!

Definitely need some updates, which you mentioned. An acess from the balcony going down, instead of going out the front door. Especially when grilling.

Response from VrboOwner on 10 October 2025
We are actively working on updates, and hope to see a lot done within the next year. Unfortunately due to safety and insurance we cant have steps on the back decks, due to the proximity of the bluff. We agree it would be nice to have as well!
