Inside was spotless and beautiful with high quality everything!! Views to outside were great! And actually being outside was even better! The sitting area, hot tub, and listening to the birds was so wonderful!! Can’t wait to go back!

Thank you so much for the review, Marcia! We're so glad you loved the sitting area, the hot tub and listening to the birds. We hope to host you again!
Amazing time at Shawnee Creek Cottage, was a gorgeous property the outside landscape was fabulous and we loved the hot tub and the sitting area around the fire pit and screened in porch. The place was amazingly clean and never saw a bug anywhere. The interior was decorated for fall and was so pretty and warm feeling. The bed was very comfortable and the AC amazing. We are already looking into coming back in the spring.

We were looking for a relaxing getaway. This Shawnee Cottage was perfect!! It is private clean comfortable in the woods with amazing rock formations in the backyard. Plus it has a screened in porch and clean private hot tub! Close to Ferne Clyff St Park and Lake of Egypt. I would recommend it to couples looking for peace and quiet and being in nature. We hope to make it back!

Welcome back anytime! Karen was a fantastic guest.
We spent 2 lovely days here. Cooked the majority of our meals in the kitchen which was well stocked, though we could not get the electric kettle to work (could be user error?). The bed was very comfortable and the outside was beautiful and well laid out. We used the fire pit and the hot tub. Bought firewood at a grocery store in Goreville along with some steaks to cook. Close to some nice hikes. Very happy with our stay!
Very homey and well decorated cottage. Had all needed items an available . Landscaping was very pretty. Enjoyed hot tub. Owner very attentive and friendly.
This was a trip we will remember! We loved the place and being able to just have a relaxing weekend getaway. We did travel during the winter storm - to which Allison was extremely helpful throughout all of it (offered a refund/move the date - we still came), made sure that if we needed any extra time/days that we were welcome to do so for our safety. Excellent communication.

Thank you so much, Troy. We hope to you host again! :)
Everything was neat and well organized. Lighting outside was very well done, and the pictures do not do it justice. Very peaceful and quiet area. Inside was all modern appliances and furniture. Very clean. The closed in porch area was nice to keep you out of the rain with a good view also.

Hi Jeff, Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We're glad you enjoyed the peaceful setting and appreciated the lighting, modern touches, and the porch view at Shawnee Creek Cottage. We'd love to host you again!
The location was incredible! The home was super clean and well laid out. The bed was super comfy! Couch reclines and was so comfy. Beautiful outdoor space with a nice fire pit, chair with cupholders. The hot tub was lovely. Beautiful view of the stars. Loved waking up and having coffee on the enclosed back porch and watching birds drink our of the water fountain. Neighbors were all very friendly, when we did see them (very quiet neighborhood). We did see a bunch of tiny lizards too! Close to bigger towns (Marion) in case you need anything. Would definitely stay here again. Host was very communicative and accommodating. HIGHLY RECOMMEND :)

Thanks for coming out, Emilia! Great guest. We would definitely host again!
Cabin was very cozy and sparkling clean. We enjoyed the hot tub. Maybe it could’ve been a bit warmer. It got very cold on one of the days and the AC heat wasn’t enough. A space heater would’ve been amazing but overall still a good time to disconnect and recharge.

Thanks for coming out, Tambari! Great guest. We would definitely host again!
Cabin and outdoor area of cabin was perfect! Allison was in text contact with us for any needs we would have had, but there were none! Tastefully updated. Hot tub just the right size. Outdoor water feature was right outside the screened in porch for late evenings if you did not want to look at the lake.

Thank you so much, Jeanine and Dan. We hope to you host again! :)
Wonderful little cabin to get away from everything and just relax. Loved the screened in back porch. We were able to sit outside while it was raining and enjoy our breakfast. Dead end road so very minimal traffic.
