The cabin was well-stocked and is in a great location, close to many of the hiking trails and vineyards we visited. We had a couple of hiccups first with Wi-Fi and then the dishwasher, but the owner was very responsive and provided excellent communication. Also, the hot tub was a welcome respite at the end of our hiking days :-)

Relaxing
Friends just wanting to get away from our kids and responsibilities and this cabin was perfect. Close enough to town that we went out for some very nice meals and exploring and a fully functional kitchen for all the snacking and lounging we were looking for. Perfect mom getaway.

Perfect cabin and area!
This is the greatest cabin! Plenty of sleeping space, and well stocked. The outdoor space was a beautiful oasis. This is the nicest and cleanest hot tub I’ve ever been in! Can’t say enough great things about Steve and his cabin! I love the town of Makanda, and I will be back soon!

Our family was in town to tour SIU - this house was cozy and so nice! Beautifully decorated, well-stocked, and so many thoughtful touches! The hot tub and fire “pit” were such a nice luxury. Thanks so much!

Great place in a great location
This place was easy to get to right off the main road. I think this place has all the amenities you could need. The hot tub is very large. The host promptly responded to my questions. Our family of four really enjoyed our stay and hope to again in the future.

Charming cabin in a beautiful area!
We loved the cabin. It was very clean and felt like home. Our favorite part was the back patio. There is a large gas powered long, rectangle “fire pit” with patio furniture on 2 sides of it. We lived sitting there and talking before we got into the hot tub to relax before bed. The host was very responsive and friendly. We will be back soon. It was very romantic for just the 2 of us.

Cute Cabin in a Great Location for the Wine Trail
Very cozy, comfortable beds, great hot tub, easy to get to several wineries from here.There were 5 adult women & I don't think you would want anymore people than that since the living room area is pretty small. Hot tub & back deck with the fire pit & couches was great. Bring eye mask if you like to sleep in because rooms do get sunny. Pictures make it look like it is secluded but there are other cabins next door & it is at the front of a golf course.

Adventure with my sisters
My sisters and I spent the week in the cabin during a 7 1/2 inch snow event, with temperatures in the single digits. The cabin was as described and we were very comfortable. We cooked all our meals in the kitchen everyday and greatly enjoyed the hot tub. Would come back in the future and hopefully would be able to visit some wineries and do some hiking. Great host!!

Great Spot!
My husband and I came down to visit for his birthday. Steve was very accommodating and whatever question we had it was answered right away. We had a lovely time! The only thing we werent aware of was that the cabin is in a little neighborhood with 2 other cabins that back to the same common space, but was very quiet. It was well stocked and the hot tub was an awesome touch! Anything you could want they had. Being able to bring out dogs was a a plus! We hope to be back!!
