The cabin had everything we needed! It was cozy and clean. I loved all the Illinois-themed decor and little touches. We did not have our kids with us but we would love to come back in the summer and bring our kiddos! The loft area was cute and I know they would love the hot tub and fire pit area.

We stayed a week in the Shagbark Cabin April 18-25, 2026 and the VRBO listing descriptions and photos do not do the property justice. This lodging exceeded our expectations. The cabin is situated on 30-40 acres of older growth forest, similar to the Shawnee National Forest area. There are well marked hiking trails right there on the property. The cabin was equipped with everything you would need and more, including a washer/dryer ensemble. Everything was spotless clean and the beds are super comfy. We daily saw deer and their nursing fawns, pileated woodpeckers and a red martin. We highly recommend this property and have already booked a return week in October, 2026.
