Quiet Getaway
My husband and I just wanted a quiet get away to do absolutely nothing. We wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of our jobs and home. I wanted to read a book, and he loves to fish. He walked to the pond; I sat on the deck (when it wasn't raining.) We were able to use the grill a couple of times in between showers. There was wildlife, deer, turtles, and birds to entertain. Town had an antique shop, and we visited neighboring towns for more shops and ate a meal in Carbondale which was about 30 minutes away. It was a very nice get away!

We only had a short 2 night stay, however we enjoyed the cabin very much. It is quaint and clean, in a very peaceful location. Lots of birds around, saw a bunny in the yard and 2 dear crossing the driveway. Sitting on the back porch facing the pond while I ate breakfast was lovely. Also my husband used the jacuzzi tub and enjoyed it. The bed is a little on the firm side, but even with my old achy body, I slept well. A note for others, make sure and bring your own shampoo - my hubby thought there would be mini shampoo like in a hotel. Lucky for him, I brought mine. Unfortunately, I couldn't seem to locate any kitchen towels or sponges, so I had to use the bathroom hand towels and cloths to wash the dishes we used. The cabin sits on a private drive near the owner's home, but that was not a problem. I am not a good judge of distance away, but there were plenty of trees blocking the view in between. All in all it was a very nice place to stay.

Girl’s Getaway!
From the area, but did a girl’s weekend here! We spent the whole weekend at the cabin as it was so relaxing. We sat in the rocking chairs and watched the thunderstorm go by, viewed a sunset by the pond, stargazed and even did a puzzle! We got crafty with the cold food we brought since there is only a mini fridge. It still worked out completely fine! The cabin was kept clean and the check in process was VERY easy. The host’s house is within close proximity to the cabin. Chris came to greet me when I got there and showed me how to use the air conditioner which was super helpful! This cabin was exactly the staycation we needed! 10/10 would recommend.

Cozy Cabin near Anna
The cabin was a nice place for my husband and I to rest and relax. We really enjoyed having our morning coffee on the back deck that overlooks a pond. There were lots of interesting birds to see and hear, including a pair of eagles. The bed was firm, and the hot water plentiful. I recommend a visit to Giant City State Park, because it has pretty trails and a wonderful lodge with great food. The Brick House Grill also has fabulous food. We also really liked shopping Annabelle Market. I highly recommend a stay here!

Cozy Cabin
We enjoyed our stay at this cute cozy cabin just outside of Anna, IL. It was quiet and as described in the listing. We checked out several of the local restaurants and it was close to Carbondale/Marion so we could go shopping/see a movie. The only thing I would suggest is maybe getting a softer mattress--we have a memory foam pillow top, so the mattress here was a little firm for our taste. Other than that, everything else was great. It was just nice to feel off the grid for a few days. We would consider staying here again.
