Just what we needed

Very nice cabin. Close to all the hiking we had planned. The walk to the lake was much harder than it seems in pictures and very steep. Everything else was very comfortable and we had the solitude we were seeking. Would stay here again.

Quiet and Beautiful

We had such a wonderful stay at this property! Everything was very clean and comfortable. The owners were very helpful with local information of hiking locations and great places to eat. We visited many different areas of the Shawnee National Forest all within an hour drive or less. We will definitely be back again soon!

Private and cozy

We loved this little cottage which provided us with a much needed get away. Very, very clean and tidy, it contained just what was needed. We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit while watching the wildlife and sunrises/sets. I would definitely return as the hosts were so kind yet not intrusive. I will note the cottage is located right by the main house. This was not an issue for us and we did not see anyone, but others may want something more secluded.

Perfect weekend

The cabin was as described and more! So clean and comfortable for my family of 4. We enjoyed swimming and fishing in the lake. Do recommend a good shoe for the walk to the lake as it is a bit steep. The owners were very helpful and so nice. We highly recommend this cabin and would definitely come back. Quiet and relaxing!

Great place to stay!

Everything about this stay was wonderful. Check-in, communication with the hosts, the cleanliness of the place, everything. There is quick access to the lake, to a state park, and to highways, and the place is surrounded by acres of woods and fields.

Wonderful property with all the needed essentials and more! The patio area overlooks a beautiful field and there was also a nice fire pit area. The bed was so, so comfortable! There was even a thicker memory foam pad for the sofa sleeper. Host was very responsive too! Would stay here again to hike in the area!

If you are looking for some quiet and seclusion this may be for you. Pasture behind the cabin with woods all around made for a serene location to unwind. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay.

Denise and Ken are wonderful hosts, and they have a fantastic place at a great location. The cabin has been thoughtfully created with all the conveniences and touches of a home. The beautiful porch was our favorite spot to enjoy tea/coffee in the mornings and evenings. The kitchen is well-stocked with cooking essentials and pantry staples for homemade meals. The mattress was really comfortable, helping us get a great night's rest. Loved the little drive under the canopy of trees along the hill leading up to the cabin. The location is great for access to Shawnee National Forest, Ferne Clyffe State Park, and other great spots in the area. Denise's food and hiking recommendations were much appreciated. Highly recommend this place and we look forward to returning in the future.

Weekend tour of Shawnee and other attractions

Cabin was clean and well-appointed. Location was beautiful and centrally located for our purposes. Host was accommodating with everything ready for our stay. Check in and out was easy. Deer and wildlife outside our windows with the lake just a short walk down the trail. Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved the place. The host was so kind and very responsive to us no matter what we needed. The property is beautiful and we saw deer in the field both evenings. The snacks and bottle of wine left for us were special treats. We cannot wait until we have a chance to visit again.

Nice, quite, getaway at a clean and comfortable cabin

We had a few unexpected days off and some family to visit in Southern Illinois. We found this place near the lake and loved it. The cabin is very clean, with comfortable furniture and a well supplied kitchen. The pans were not all chipped and scratched as is often the case with rental properties. The property is close to 57, and we were able to visit the nearby Ferne Clyffe State Park, Blue Sky winery, and do some paddle boarding on Lake of Egypt.
