The grounds are beautiful. The property is rundown, but the managers are slowly renovating and are open to suggestions. The view of the river from the shared back deck was lovely, but our experience was spoiled by an inconsiderate guest chain smoking upwind from us.

We took a chance to go to southern illinois because we never went to Shawnee forest. It was a lovely stay. The ybit was wonderful and set on a cliff above the Ohio river. Kitchen and bathroom were great. Great water pressure in shower. Back dwck was great to sit and relax at in the night time. Nice fire put out back. Was more a wonderful place to stay than doing acticities on site. We left to find adventured and activities nearby. It is set perfectly for short drives to the forest or to state parks on the river which we spent the days visiting and exploring the area. Lots of sights to see and places to experience.

Amazing view. Quiet and serene. Cabin was a convenient location to the hiking we planned. Would have preferred a much firmer bed, otherwise a good stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness
I was looking forward to a peaceful retreat and appreciated the host’s responsiveness before the trip. Check-in was easy, and the property’s concept seemed promising. Unfortunately, the cabin itself was in unacceptable condition.Upon arrival, I found cobwebs inside and outside the cabin, with the front door covered in dead bugs. There was a large stain on the blanket, and loose rat poison stored in the kitchen cabinet next to cooking and eating supplies. I also discovered mouse droppings on the kitchen and pantry floors, and a dead bug inside the oven. The secondary lock was broken, the railing was wobbly and falling apart, and the listing photos showed a couch that was not present in the cabin.To make matters worse, I was not warned about the severe potholes leading to the property. While the host was very communicative prior to my arrival, they did not respond to my calls or to VRBO support once I was on-site.As a solo female traveler with asthma, I did not feel safe or comfortable staying in these conditions. I had to leave early and find alternate accommodations due to health concerns. Although I received a partial refund, I strongly believe a full refund was warranted given the circumstances.

We had a great stay. The place was very clean and comfortable. The beds were so nice. Our favorite was sitting out on the deck overlooking the river. It was a peaceful getaway. We were even able to take a short trail down to the river. I highly recommend a stay here.

On the Ohio River.

Accommodations were clean and comfortable. Simply appointed and has necessities. Quiet area directly on the Ohio River, not far from Garden of the Gods. About thirty minutes from Harrisburg. We drove in and ate at Morello's one day and The BBQ Barn on another day. Both good choices.

Great peaceful getaway

Older but very clean property. All units face the river. I wanted a peaceful atmosphere to reset from a loss. It provided me that. If you love to hike this place provides a great home base. If you want shopping and restaurants it does not. The WiFi was non existent don't know why there was a TV in the room. Great value otherwise.
