Little cabin with all you need.

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.

Peace before SIU drop-off

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy

No communication at all. Other people were there when I got there.

As a woman it’s scary to get to your VRBO rental and have 2 men come out saying they were renting it and staying there. I never got a phone number from the owner and ended up getting it from the guy who was already unpacking there. The door was unlocked as well according to those people. They called the owner and told them they were in the wrong cabin so they left, but i don’t know what they could have added or left in the place or if they even lied. Lots of dust everywhere and not clean in terms of dusting. The shower curtain had a lot of black mold on it. Very beautiful bedroom surrounded by windows and was amazing to wake up surrounded by nature and trees. The drive up was weird considering other people live around the area and leave their garbage out. I was just uncomfortable and uneasy and wish I had contact with the host. I even texted the number after our stay to let them know I started a load of towels in the laundry for them and got no response. Overall liked staying here, just not worth the price and felt a little unsafe.
