Friends annual fishing trip

We have been coming to the southern Illinois area for over 25 years for our annual fishing trip. We have stayed in many vacation rentals, and each had their own unique experiences. Most positive, some not so much. Hartline was a fantastic experience, and our group loved the property. Accessing location and amenities were perfect. One of the best things I enjoyed personally was how the property owner or manager was very responsive to texts or emails. Love this property and location and would recommend this rental for groups of 8 or more over any other property in the area.5 star rating from our group. Thank you Hartline for a wonderful experience.

A few days with friends

The property had everything we needed to enjoy time with friends. However, there was an issue with the heat that was resolved on our second day. But it did take some persistence on our part. A little more attention to winter weather issues would have made our stay perfect.

Perfect for everyone to hang out together!

This house was the perfect setup for our family to be together in one big room to eat, play games and just hang out. We made use of the ping pong table and dart board and enjoyed sitting around the campfire in the evenings. It was very clean and nicely stocked. I would definitely recommend to any group. We had a really nice weekend!

Celebration of college graduation and selection as US Air Force officers.

Simply outstanding property. Saw picture of cabin on VRBO but it’s one of those instances where you must see to believe. I am 70 years old and my son and his friends asked me to join them for four days to celebrate their college graduation and all getting commissioned as 2nd Lieutenants in the military (5 Air Force & 2 Army). Plenty of outdoor space to play flag football(I can still hang), spikeball and corn hole. Hiking trails nearby. Indoors, we had ping pong, darts and to the delight and surprise of the boys, video arcade with LOTS of games. With 4 bedrooms and 4 baths, the cabin was spacious to accommodate all 8 of us. Large living room/ dining room/ kitchen. Had indoor fireplace but did not use. The fire pit area was great and a great place to hang out. The surrounding area was wooded and beautiful. Already thinking of bringing wife and my other children for a stay. We did lose power for a little over an hour one day due to thunderstorms but quick communication with Ashlyn kept us informed of our status. Thank you Hartline Cabins. We will come back

Beautiful property in central location

We "stayed in" for a low key "relax and refresh retreat" with family, and enjoyed the living room with fireplace and porches. Communication was superb. Location is easy to get to with a rural feel and city amenities within easy reach. The family agreed we would love to return.

A Great Place

This is the best place that I have stayed at. The interaction with the host was delightful. Far and above the best stocked kitchen I have seen. The first night of the stay we had a stellar view of a meteor shower. We will be staying here or at another one of Allison’s properties again.

A gem of a rental❗️ Photos are spot-on. Great space. Glorious fall foliage setting too. House is well equipped and suitable for anyone; couples, groups or families with kiddos. Our group of 6 enjoyed all of the house amenities ( especially the outside fire-pit area), wine country and the nearby casino. Highly recommend a stay in this well appointed place❗️

Amazing Cabin near Giant City State Park

We had a wonderful family get away seeing the sights around Giant City State Park. We enjoyed hiking the trails and being together. This cabin is beautiful, clean, spacious and just as pictured. From the moment we arrived we were happy with our decision to stay at Hartline Hill Cabin. The game room was a fun for our granddaughters. We were very comfortable, had plenty of room and it was perfectly clean. We would stay here again, if ever back in this area. It was close to everything and Allison and Ashlyn were easy to communicate with. The night sky is spectacular!!

May hiking trip

We enjoyed our stay at this property! It was very clean and well stocked! The space worked well for our party of 6. We liked having coffee on the front deck in the morning and drinks on the back deck at night . The location was nice for that rural feel but groceries and pizza were less than 15 minutes away. We would stay here again.
