Cozy Cabin near Anna

The cabin was a nice place for my husband and I to rest and relax. We really enjoyed having our morning coffee on the back deck that overlooks a pond. There were lots of interesting birds to see and hear, including a pair of eagles. The bed was firm, and the hot water plentiful. I recommend a visit to Giant City State Park, because it has pretty trails and a wonderful lodge with great food. The Brick House Grill also has fabulous food. We also really liked shopping Annabelle Market. I highly recommend a stay here!

Quiet Getaway

My husband and I just wanted a quiet get away to do absolutely nothing. We wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of our jobs and home. I wanted to read a book, and he loves to fish. He walked to the pond; I sat on the deck (when it wasn't raining.) We were able to use the grill a couple of times in between showers. There was wildlife, deer, turtles, and birds to entertain. Town had an antique shop, and we visited neighboring towns for more shops and ate a meal in Carbondale which was about 30 minutes away. It was a very nice get away!

About the host

Hosted by Angela and Chris Boyd

Host profile image
We are lifelong residents of Union County. Both sides of our family have owned businesses locally and been a part of the growth and tradition in our community. We have been blessed with the opportunity to become the new owners of The Goddard Place and continue the family tradition of being a small business owner. We look forward to sharing our peaceful retreat and the Southern Illinois area with our guests.

Why they chose this property

We were intrigued by the beauty of the property from the large pond, abundant wildlife, lovely views and rural setting. This property was the first bed and breakfast in Union County. We are honored to continue the tradition of southern hospitality created by the previous owners. We have big shoes to fill. The ability to share our knowledge and love for this area with guests is exciting. We look forward to meeting so many new friends along the way.

What makes this property unique

Letting the guests speak for us ~

Fay & Ray B. from Normal, Illinois said... This cabin is amazing. Simply beautiful. You have put a lot of thought into providing us with everything we need to feel at 'home'. The bed was so comfortable. I can't tell you how I LOVE that Jacuzzi! Love the 'hope' chest at the foot of the bed with extra blankets & pillows. You had everything you need for the kitchen. Your towels were wonderful...and so many of them was super. We loved having the Weber grill to be able to use. All the chairs outside & inside were very comfortable! The entire decor of the cabin is wonderful. You have a truly charming cabin here. We are already talking about when we want to come back....

Eve & Shannon C. from Mt. Zion, Illinois said... thank you for such a relaxing & wonderful stay. Such thoughtful consideration went into every detail here @ The Goddard Place ~ truly a piece of 'heaven on earth' Thanks for everything!!!

Sandy, Lonnie & Nick P. from Solsberry, Indiana said...We truly enjoyed our stay here. The cabin & surroundings were amazing. Very informative of things to do around the area. Very peaceful, relaxing getaway. Loved the fishing. Everyone we met was very friendly. We hated to leave and wish this was our home. We will be back again. Thank you again for the amazing hospitality.

Kayla & Allen C. from St. Charles, Missouri said...Everything was fantastic!! Your cabin is perfect & we caught a few nice Bass in your pond -one was 3.56 lbs. - We went to Giant City, Cache River, Ferne Clyffe, and Bald Knob Cross. We also hit Rustle Hill, Blue Sky and Von Jakob Wineries. The bread pudding at Blue Boar is great! Thanks for the recommendations of where to go! We had a great time!!
