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.
Close proximity to Shawnee National Forest is fabulous
Watching thunderstorms on the river was spectacular
Very relaxing location
Clean and fairly well equipped
This was our first time here and had a fabulous experience. Location right off the Ohio River, walking paths, excellent views, and privacy. Everything we needed to unplug.Wish we had found this place 15 years ago!
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.

The cabin was clean and comfortable. Very quiet and peaceful. View was amazing. Staff very responsive.
This is such a beautiful property. Its right on the river and the firepit outside was awesome. Walking trails and not too far from great hiking! We really enjoyed time. We will be going back and we would definitely recommend this resort!
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.
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!
Definitely need some updates, which you mentioned. An acess from the balcony going down, instead of going out the front door. Especially when grilling.

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!
