Peaceful
We had a great time, everything was as listed in our booking. There was plenty of outdoor area for our 9 month pitbull to run around and explore. Early morning we looked outside to see deers roaming the property, it was amazing. Will be returning soon for a longer stay!

Cozy little cabin with modern amenities close to SIU
We stayed in this cozy little cabin during move-in weekend at SIU. Our son is a SIU student and we wanted to be close enough to help him move but also far enough away to enjoy some peace. This cabin provided everything we needed and more. It was a peaceful respite in the evenings after spending all day unpacking my son's new apartment. The bed was great, the little kitchen was perfect for what we needed and the hiking trail outside was a nice walk. We didn't get a chance to use the hot tub but we plan to return and use it next time around. The owner was very responsive to but we had no issues. I highly recommend!

Incredible getaway!
This cabin is impeccable. Everything is extremely cozy, clean and beautiful! The location is also amazing - so many trails and nature nearby. You just feel an enormous sense of peace and calmness all around you. My husband and I came with our dog Luna to the area for the first time. We can’t wait to come back and, when we do, we’ll 100% stay here again. Communication and information was also great and super organized. Highly recommend!!!

Great stay
We had an amazing stay. The location is perfect! Close to great food, hiking, and site seeing. Very quiet spot. The house itself feels brand new and was very clean upon arrival. Checkin and checkout was a breeze.
