Quiet, Clean and Cozy
5/5 This cabin was everything we were looking for. It was quiet and secluded, no traffic noise at all. The cabin itself was extremely clean, nicely furnished and well maintained. We appreciated the owner's hospitable gestures such as providing charcoal and lighter fluid for the grill. With numerous nearby hiking trails to pick from we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend staying here.

Lovely Cabin
5/5 We loved staying at this cabin! It has everything you need. One downside, no WiFi….that being said you will live! Joanne was a great host!

Amazing!
5/5 I loved this rental! This quiet getaway was perfect for a private birthday celebration! The lawns were well kept and the house was immaculately clean - I would definitely stay here again! It was also a plus to be so secluded, but still within a decent driving distance from excursions and the grocery store for last-minute items.
Secluded cabin
5/5 It was a cozy cabin off the road and exactly as pictured. Joanne was a great host. The area has so much natural beauty and enjoyed the Blue Sky winery just up the road
Perfect cabin, tucked away
5/5 We were looking for a quiet place to relax between our adventures around southern IL. This cabin was perfect. It was clean, had anything we needed (except wi-fi), the front porch, back porch and surroundings provided a peaceful place to enjoy the outdoors. We would recommend this to others or even go back again ourselves.
