The cabin—really a guesthouse—is well-stocked and very comfortable: there are loads of blankets, pillows, coffee, spices, and cute decor. It was a great location for folks looking to explore the western portion of Shawnee Nat’l Forest, Shawnee Wine Trail wineries, state parks, & nearby towns. Ann was super responsive and offered helpful recommendations. Highly recommend.

This cabin is beautifully decorated and supplied with everything we needed during our stay. A very well appointed home! The beds and main-room seating areas are comfortable, stacked with ample pillows and throws. We loved the ceiling fans and the smart TV, which allowed us to watch our favorite shows in the evening after a long day of hiking and sightseeing. And the Wifi gave us access to our emails, restaurant and hiking sites, and my online dance class.Laundry supplies are provided, and Ann has programmed the washer and dryer for easy and effective results. A well-organized kitchen with plenty of refrigerator and freezer space. The main room, with its vaulted ceiling, is is a joy to sit in, nicely divided into kitchen, eating, and living room space. High windows bring in in natural light all day. The room's chandelier is charming. And there's another chandelier in the bathroom, also fun.The cabin's location is peaceful and quiet, and we enjoyed the country seclusion and the sounds of crickets at night.Best of all, Ann is one of the best hosts we've had in our many years of renting VRBO propertiies. She is very prompt and helpful in responding to our messages and questions. She lives a short ways down the road, so we always felt we could reach out to her if we had any concerns. (We didn't have any!)Overall, our experience at Ann's cabin was a 10 out of 10. And Ann deserves her ranking as a premier host.

Cozy Hide Away in Shawnee

This VRBO was new and swaggy! The decorating was impeccable! I wish I had her taste! We came down for a tour of the Shawnee Wine Trail and do some hiking and this house is perfectly located in the center of it all. It is a hop skip and jump from Giant City State Park which has fabulous hiking and really close to Cobden and Makanda both adorable little towns. Blue Sky Winery was our favorite after visiting 4 of the local wineries. We also enjoyed her outdoor living space on the back patio listening to all the night creatures and having a fire. Everything was provided except food! This was the perfect place!

The property was beautiful and exactly as described. We appreciated all of the thoughtful, detailed, and luxurious touches that the host has added. The location is fantastic, close to SIU and close to trails and natural beauty. The kids especially enjoyed the creek and fire pit on site!

New Year’s end get away

My husband and I lost one of our sons in 2019, and obviously the holidays are devastating. Each years end we try to find someplace to go to find peace and bring in another year. I found this cabin on VRBO last minute and luckily it was available. From the second we opened the door, I was impressed. I loved the decor, the furniture and towels and essentials left for us to use. The porch and fire pit area look wonderful and hopefully on our next stay the weather will allow us to enjoy them too.The property manager was very responsive and replied to my email quickly. The property was updated and very stylish, with decor and furniture for any interest.We will definitely be back soon!!Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin with us.

Lovely home! We loved this property. The location was perfect for us. Quiet and peaceful with a beautiful porch facing the woods and a little creek. The home is spotless, well designed, and beautifully decorated. The host was super responsive and easy to work with when we wanted to extend a day on our stay. A great cabin for visiting the area, tucked away and private, but very close to wineries, recreation areas and SIU. Perfect for a romantic getaway, family trip or parents visiting students. The home is well stocked with all you could need. Will definitely stay again when we are visiting the area.
