What a lovely cabin in an idyllic setting! It could not have been more perfect. The cabin was nicely equipped with comfortable beds and the kitchenette was great. It was conveniently located for my son and I to explore the area. I only wished we would have stayed longer! We will be back.

Great place for a peaceful respite! Stars are amazing bright at night. Hosts were very nice and accommodating. Hiking trails on property as well as being centrally located to most of the more popular places in Shawnee to hike. Our dog had a blast as well. The place was very clean and comfortable for a hunting cabin. Very pleased and will definitely plan to try and make it back since we try to stay in different areas each year. Thanks to Mr. And Mrs Fuller for a wonderful time.

Cute clean cozy but very simple primitive cabin, Perfect for 2 people Living room pull out sofa is very comfortable to sleep and then there is a low ceiling loft where younger teens/ kids can sleep. That’s all. All parks and trails are such a close distance by where cabin is. Perfect location. Very easy quick communication and response by hosts.

The cabin is located on beautiful acreage with lovely views. The hosts came over on their UTV to see if we needed anything and are very friendly - going above and beyond to make the stay as enjoyable as possible. The pillows and blankets were the most comfy I've ever used! Wish we could have stayed longer.

Beautiful Stay in Shawnee Forest

My wife and I stayed a night here and it was wonderful. The property is beautiful and a short drive away from many great attractions. The hosts are very accommodating and communicative. The cabin was perfect for my wife and me, it was clean and had every accomodation we needed.

We had a great stay at this hunting cabin. The cleanliness was excellent and the host was very attentive, responsive, and clearly takes pride in maintaining the property. Everything we needed was well thought out and the experience overall was very comfortable.The only note I would add is that the listing description could be more accurate and detailed in certain areas. That said, this seems to be an issue with the third-party listing platform rather than the host themselves. The host was transparent and helpful throughout, and the property itself met our expectations once we arrived.Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would happily come back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quiet and well-kept cabin experience.

We had a beautiful stay at the charming Hunting Cabin. The cabin was exceptionally clean with refreshing views out the windows. The land brought much needed comforting peace with the morning sunrise and evening sunset right before our eyes... the stars and the moon, too. Charmingly sweet, clean, refreshing and beautiful land.

Just what we needed!

This property was perfect for what we was looking for on our short trip to southern Illinois. Was extremely clean almost like we were the first guests to stay here. Communication with the owner was great and couldn’t be happier.
