The inside of the cabin was beautiful. The outside could use a little work but we weren't bothered and the host was very nice. Would definitely stay there again if in the area.
The cabin was nice, exactly as pictured. It was a great location to go into Carbondale to eat, down the road to hike Giant City, or drive 30 minutes to several hikes or wine tasting in the area. We appreciated the friendly host and well equipped cabin.
This was our second stay in Cabin 3. It was clean and comfortable, with everything we needed. Tom is a great host and accommodated my fragrance free needs.
My son & I stayed at the property the night before freshman move in at SIU. The cabin was clean, cozy & comfortable. We fed the turtles and fish in the lake. It was a peaceful night before the craziness of move in.
Third time renting a cabin from Tom and we had a fantastic stay. Owner was a hoot and easy to get ahold of, cabin/s were clean and cozy, close to state parks and other nice stops. We’ve been three times and will happily come back!
We love going down to Shawnee National Forest, my husband and I and our dog went we found this amazingly affordable cabin, close to SIU, and the hiking spots.
It was perfect, we even extended our stay
I already recommended it to some of our friends, family, and coworkers
We love this place and would stay again. It was clean had everything we needed! Was rustic and private. Near Giant City Park, we loved hiking there and eating at the Giant City Lodge! I loved that my host was nearby and easy to get a hold of.
What an incredible cabin and property. The family and Tom are such kind and wonderful hosts. I feel like I just left family, sad to leave but glad to return again soon.
We had an amazing time! Cabin was super cozy. Clean, quiet, and peaceful. Tom is a wonderful host! We loved talking to him and hearing his great stories. We will be back!!
We loved Cabin 3, and although we were too relaxed to ever actually go do anything in Carbondale, we could have been in town in five minutes if we wanted to. Tom provided firewood for us and was a super host. Will definitely return!
It was just what I needed. I appreciate the owners (Tom and Martha, a very nice couple indeed) allowing their space in the woods to be utilized. the cabin was warm. The fireplace was very nice. It area was quiet.
For my birthday, my partner and I decided to book Tom's cozy cabin for a little stay-cation with our pup. It was beyond amazing and surpassed all expectations. Check-in was extremely easy and we walked in the cabin doors to the fire already set up and going for us, setting the tone for our very cozy stay!
The cabin had everything you would need - DVD player with a decent selection, stereo, coffee maker, kitchen supplies, and plenty of towels! There's no wifi, which was appealing to us! It allowed us to catch up with one another, connect with nature, practice some painting, and read those books that have been collecting dust in our home for some time!
I can't put into words how much we enjoyed our stay. I would highly recommend Tom's cabin to friends/family and hope to return soon!

Enjoyed the stay
The first impression was not so good. Once we turned into the area, my wife and I thought, "What have we gotten ourselves into?" The place looked like a junk yard. Inside the cabin was very different. It was everything it was advertised to be. It was small and cozy. I’m glad we had no kids with us. That would have been a tight fit, but for the two of us, fine. It was neat, clean, and comfortable. AC worked just fine. We did use the kitchen a little and was very glad for it. I was happy to find it had a full size coffee maker, not one of those 4 cup models and a full size refrigerator.
If you like the movie Hoarders...this place is for you
Where do I start!! To get to this cabin you drive through roughly a half mile of pure filth. From random trash to store manicanes, he has it all. So much that you have to squeeze your vehicle through the
Roadway. Once you enter, you are greeted with only 1 bed, no sofa sleeper as promised. So beware..it only sleeps 2 not 4. If you can get passed this, pay no attention to the 3 inch thick filth that covers every inch of the cabin. It is apparent the pictures taken were the last time it has been cleaned. We expressed our concerns to Tom, and he told us we would get a full refund so we left. Do not believe Tom, he is shady and lies. We still have not gotten a refund because we did not wqnt to stay with bugs- filth- hoardinf- and naked manicanes. We have plenty of pictures of you need to see them.
roqdway. road, barely fitting.
Called an hour before arriving like requested and they still weren't prepared. When i showed up tom was upset i bought my own fire wood from the Walmart in town. Property was unkept and hideous(garbage and junk all around). The cabin is in desperate need of repairs. Had to clean PUBES OF THE TOILET so my girlfriend could use it. Not a friendly host. Not a good property. Wouldn't recommend to anyone.
