Great location

This is a great place to stay if you want to visit Giant City State Park and surrounding area. The house has a small indoor gathering area but the deck is spacious and the hot tub and view of the moon over the golf course were wonderful.

Great cabin getaway

The cabin was very clean and well kept. It had everything we needed and was very quiet and peaceful. The large back deck was really nice, and was great for grilling. We would highly recommend this property and area. We’d definitely stay here again!

Clean and comfortable. Did not use the hot tub as outside temp was in single digits. Location was great with lots of hiking around and close proximity to city for shopping and restaurants. Would stay again for sure!

Adventure with my sisters

My sisters and I spent the week in the cabin during a 7 1/2 inch snow event, with temperatures in the single digits. The cabin was as described and we were very comfortable. We cooked all our meals in the kitchen everyday and greatly enjoyed the hot tub. Would come back in the future and hopefully would be able to visit some wineries and do some hiking. Great host!!

The cabin was well-stocked and is in a great location, close to many of the hiking trails and vineyards we visited. We had a couple of hiccups first with Wi-Fi and then the dishwasher, but the owner was very responsive and provided excellent communication. Also, the hot tub was a welcome respite at the end of our hiking days :-)

Relaxing

Friends just wanting to get away from our kids and responsibilities and this cabin was perfect. Close enough to town that we went out for some very nice meals and exploring and a fully functional kitchen for all the snacking and lounging we were looking for. Perfect mom getaway.

Perfect cabin and area!

This is the greatest cabin! Plenty of sleeping space, and well stocked. The outdoor space was a beautiful oasis. This is the nicest and cleanest hot tub I’ve ever been in! Can’t say enough great things about Steve and his cabin! I love the town of Makanda, and I will be back soon!

This place was easy to get to right off the main road. I think this place has all the amenities you could need. The hot tub is very large. The host promptly responded to my questions. Our family of four really enjoyed our stay and hope to again in the future.

Charming cabin in a beautiful area!

We loved the cabin. It was very clean and felt like home. Our favorite part was the back patio. There is a large gas powered long, rectangle “fire pit” with patio furniture on 2 sides of it. We lived sitting there and talking before we got into the hot tub to relax before bed. The host was very responsive and friendly. We will be back soon. It was very romantic for just the 2 of us.

Cute Cabin in a Great Location for the Wine Trail

Very cozy, comfortable beds, great hot tub, easy to get to several wineries from here.There were 5 adult women & I don't think you would want anymore people than that since the living room area is pretty small. Hot tub & back deck with the fire pit & couches was great. Bring eye mask if you like to sleep in because rooms do get sunny. Pictures make it look like it is secluded but there are other cabins next door & it is at the front of a golf course.

Great Spot!

My husband and I came down to visit for his birthday. Steve was very accommodating and whatever question we had it was answered right away. We had a lovely time! The only thing we werent aware of was that the cabin is in a little neighborhood with 2 other cabins that back to the same common space, but was very quiet. It was well stocked and the hot tub was an awesome touch! Anything you could want they had. Being able to bring out dogs was a a plus! We hope to be back!!
