Fantastic

Loved this little cabin. I cannot believe that the owner had packed EVERYTHING you need into this relatively small cabin. There is a front porch, a rear deck, a beautiful washer and dryer, a VERY full array of kitchen utensils; super clean AND close to state parks, National Wildlife refuges and SouthernIllinois University. It is an ideal package

Our dog loved Elm cabin!

This place is SO CUTE! Inside was refreshing, clean, homey and really just right. My husband & I stayed here with our dog, and they took their morning walk through the trail behind all the cabins. The salt water hot tub after a day of hiking is soooo delightful. It was nice to have spices already stocked, and there was even a dog bowl for our girl. Sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee and my dog? 12/10

Perfect Cozy Cabin

This cabin was pristine, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. It had everything you would need for an enjoyable getaway including a fire pit, salt spa, and a great assortment of books and games. It’s close enough to trails and outdoor activities to keep your days full and there are some great dining options within 15-25 minutes away.
