The inside of the cabin was beautiful. The outside could use a little work but we weren't bothered and the host was very nice. Would definitely stay there again if in the area.

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.

Wonderful Experience

Third time renting a cabin from Tom and we had a fantastic stay. Owner was a hoot and easy to get ahold of, cabin/s were clean and cozy, close to state parks and other nice stops. We’ve been three times and will happily come back!

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.

Rural & rustic yet close to town

We loved Cabin 3, and although we were too relaxed to ever actually go do anything in Carbondale, we could have been in town in five minutes if we wanted to. Tom provided firewood for us and was a super host. Will definitely return!

WONDERFUL getaway experience!

For my birthday, my partner and I decided to book Tom's cozy cabin for a little stay-cation with our pup. It was beyond amazing and surpassed all expectations. Check-in was extremely easy and we walked in the cabin doors to the fire already set up and going for us, setting the tone for our very cozy stay! The cabin had everything you would need - DVD player with a decent selection, stereo, coffee maker, kitchen supplies, and plenty of towels! There's no wifi, which was appealing to us! It allowed us to catch up with one another, connect with nature, practice some painting, and read those books that have been collecting dust in our home for some time! I can't put into words how much we enjoyed our stay. I would highly recommend Tom's cabin to friends/family and hope to return soon!

Enjoyed the stay

The first impression was not so good. Once we turned into the area, my wife and I thought, "What have we gotten ourselves into?" The place looked like a junk yard. Inside the cabin was very different. It was everything it was advertised to be. It was small and cozy. I’m glad we had no kids with us. That would have been a tight fit, but for the two of us, fine. It was neat, clean, and comfortable. AC worked just fine. We did use the kitchen a little and was very glad for it. I was happy to find it had a full size coffee maker, not one of those 4 cup models and a full size refrigerator.

Unfriendly host and unkept property

Called an hour before arriving like requested and they still weren't prepared. When i showed up tom was upset i bought my own fire wood from the Walmart in town. Property was unkept and hideous(garbage and junk all around). The cabin is in desperate need of repairs. Had to clean PUBES OF THE TOILET so my girlfriend could use it. Not a friendly host. Not a good property. Wouldn't recommend to anyone.

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.

If you like the movie Hoarders...this place is for you

Where do I start!! To get to this cabin you drive through roughly a half mile of pure filth. From random trash to store manicanes, he has it all. So much that you have to squeeze your vehicle through the Roadway. Once you enter, you are greeted with only 1 bed, no sofa sleeper as promised. So beware..it only sleeps 2 not 4. If you can get passed this, pay no attention to the 3 inch thick filth that covers every inch of the cabin. It is apparent the pictures taken were the last time it has been cleaned. We expressed our concerns to Tom, and he told us we would get a full refund so we left. Do not believe Tom, he is shady and lies. We still have not gotten a refund because we did not wqnt to stay with bugs- filth- hoardinf- and naked manicanes. We have plenty of pictures of you need to see them. roqdway. road, barely fitting.
