The location of this cabin was perfect for our trip! It was close to SIU where we visited our son while also minutes away from Giant City Park. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again!
This was the cutest little cabin, a perfect place to end the day after visiting the wine trail. It had everything you needed and was very charming. The little details like snacks and toiletries were much appreciated! Would definitely stay here again.
We had a great weekend visiting winery’s, relaxing with friend, exploring campus. Didn’t spend much time at the cabin., but it was very nice, good location would definitely stay again.
I had a wonderful stay at cabin #2! Everything was very clean and comfortable. The location was close to hiking trails, which I love and also close to town for convenience. Steve was a great host and replied very quickly when I had questions. Would definitely recommend and hope to return.

We loved our stay at this adorable cabin! It is the perfect location- close to Carbondale and near many hiking trails and wineries. The property was beautiful as well. We loved the small touch of a snack basket as well. Very thoughtful! Will definitely book again.
I stayed for ten days to help family in the area. A great location, just a quick drive away from Giant City, Makanda, and Carbondale. Comfortable furniture and nice amenities. The owner was quick in responding to questions, and the rate was very reasonable. Pet friendly and nice and cool in the 100 degree heat.
