Pros: convenient location; quiet; clean cabin; very comfortable
Cons: hard to find in dark of night; not informed of change in entry key code, but quickly solved with phone call to owner.
Cabin was clean and comfortable. Host was easy to get in contact with and helpful. Location was great as it was less than 10 minutes to Carbondale but still in a quiet country setting.
Just 15mins from Alto Pass was perfect. We had a cozy stay in the Merica themed cabin, quiet, clean & pet friendly. Great communication from the host made our stay easy & stress free.
We loved this cute, cozy, comfy cabin. Just the right size for a couple - not too big, but not too small either. Very quiet location, wi-fi worked great, comfy bed, water temperature/pressure for the shower was perfect. The entire cabin was very clean. Loved the Americana decor and the small basket of snacks added a nice touch. Looking forward to staying again sometime.
The cabin was nice. It had enough room for me to relax in after a day with family or in Shawnee National Forest. The area felt very safe and there was no ouside noise. I will stay there again.
Scrupulous cleanliness, thick towels and toilet paper, a comfortable bed, Americana decor and a well equipped kitchen lent to a general air of welcome and comfort. We enjoyed the benefit of the kitchenette and grill, walked in the golf course and used the opportunity to see Giant City, the John A. Logan museum in Murphysburo and to lunch in Anna with our son. Steve, the cabin host, was very easy to communicate with as well.
Nice simple clean 1 bedroom with a sofa bed to stay in while exploring the Shawnee National Forest & the Shawnee Wine Trail. Safe area close to main roads. FYI--no oven for cooking but includes a nice BBQ grill on the patio.
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the cabin 😊 loved the location and atmosphere. The cabin was so cozy and not far from the state park. The basket of snacks were perfect! We will definitely be going back!! ❤️
This place was absolutely amazing, very clean, super nice, check in was no hassle, host was very attentive and responsive to any questions. the cabin was beautiful. Close to lots of hiking and things we wanted to do. Will definitely will be returning.
Our stay at Cabin Creek Cabins was a wonderful experience. It was more than we expected and very relaxing. The construction of the cabins inside and out, along with the interior decor was beautiful. We enjoyed being surrounded by nature. The host is very gracious.
