This stay was great! It was well amended with everything one might need! The bed was very good, and there was plenty of room. It was a bit pricey, but southernmost Illinois is beautiful!

It doesn't look like much on the outside, but the inside is great! Sparkling clean and one hundred percent new and upgraded interior. Well appointed kitchen; lots of little extras in the home. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much for your review. This if our first year for renting and we do have a lot invested in this unit Cabin #1 and thought it imperative to get it listed on the market as soon as possible. Our plans are to stain the exterior when the weather isn't so hot and build front and back decks, eventually offer a hot tub. Thanks again for your kind review.
