We very much enjoyed our stay here. Very cozy, clean and quiet.
This was the cutest cabin and perfectly situated between Giant City State Park and Carbondale. The decor was adorable and the host made sure to include all the necessary amenities to make your stay more comfortable! I will definitely rent again.
This cabin was amazing! We came for hiking and visiting wineries. It was close to Giant City State Park and wineries. It was decorated beautifully and had everything you could possibly want. Highly recommend!

Loved our visit!!
This was the nicest place we’ve been at!
Very clean, beautifully decorated and furnished. Very comfy king bed!
Peaceful and quiet location! Thanks for the great visit!
Beautiful place, updated and modern but still cozy and rustic also. Super clean. Host is very communicative and helpful. Great place and would love to go back!
Spent time at this cabin for a wonderful couple weekend. Everything that was needed was already provided at the cabin. It was easy to find and close to all activities. Would recommend this property to anyone and hope to return for a visit soon.
This cabin was pristine, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. It had everything you would need for an enjoyable getaway including a fire pit, salt spa, and a great assortment of books and games. It’s close enough to trails and outdoor activities to keep your days full and there are some great dining options within 15-25 minutes away.
We booked this cabin for an anniversary weekend getaway. Everything about the cabin was perfect! We enjoyed the trail behind the canin. We also enjoyed hiking at nearby, Giant City State Park. Southern Illinois is beautiful in the fall. We hope to be back and highly recommend to others.

Fantastic
Love this place. Cozy cabin in the woods with amazing hot tub on the back deck overlooking the woods. The stars are so bright from the back deck. 10-15 minutes from all the wineries. Will be back again.
This place is SO CUTE! Inside was refreshing, clean, homey and really just right. My husband & I stayed here with our dog, and they took their morning walk through the trail behind all the cabins. The salt water hot tub after a day of hiking is soooo delightful. It was nice to have spices already stocked, and there was even a dog bowl for our girl. Sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee and my dog? 12/10

Beautiful and relaxing cabin with all the comforts of home!
We recently took a trip to Southern Illinois and stayed in the “Elm cabin”. The cabin is deceiving from the outside as the interior is VERY nice and provides all the comforts of home and more. It seemed far more spacious than what we expected. The large front porch and back deck with hot tub provide some great outdoor time enjoying the beautiful wooded area surrounding. You also have an outdoor fire pit with LOTS of wood available for campfires, roasting marshmallows, etc. We would not hesitate to come back and stay here again. It was truly an enjoyable time!
This place was amazing. Very secluded and the owners paid close attention to detail to really make this cabin beautiful and feel like a home. We loved our stay!
Excellent cabin. We lacked nothing at the rental and the owners were attentive and communicative. They accommodated a slight change in travel dates and made it very easy for us. Highly recommend them for your next stay.
This was an AMAZING trip! The hosts are helpful & the cabin is perfectly beautiful. We had everything we could imagine. HIGHLY recommend & will be back if we ever are in the area again.
I make monthly work trips to the area and these have become my first choice for rentals. The properties are always immaculate and the beds are so comfortable. Every stay has been wonderful. While it’s only about 10 minutes away from town, it is very peaceful and quiet. Occasionally I’ve been able to watch the local wildlife from the front porch.
The cabin was lovely, cozy, spotless, and in a gorgeous location! Hot tub was incredible, kitchen was well stocked for us to make meals, wide selection of books. First time my fiance and I have felt truly relaxed and rested in a while. Nearly completely private (one neighboring cabin was partially visible from back deck) yet only 10 minutes from Carbondale or 20minutes from cobden or Marion both of which have some hidden gems of restaurants Tons of beautiful hiking around the area, we hiked to 3 different waterfalls, all gorgeous. Will be back!
