Awesome Experience
I really enjoyed my stay. I came to spend some time with my daughter who goes to SIU. It was nice, quiet, and had the great charm. It is a cabin so it is rustic but that was the charm of the cabin. The bed was great, we were able to cook and relax like the comforts of home. The wifi had an issue and needed to be reset and the host was very prompt on fixing the issue. He was available! I will definitely stay here again when I visit my daughter!

Eclipse Getaway
Had a great couple nights. Saw the eclipse, ate some great food. It's really dark there at night though, could use a bit more light.

Perfect cabin and location for our Shawnee Forest Hiking trip
This cabin was the perfect home base for my son and me during his college Spring Break/our hiking trip to the Shawnee forest. During our stay, we enjoyed hiking and exploring the Panther’s Den, Ferne Clyffe State Park (especially Bork Falls), Giant City State Park, the Pomona Natural Bridge, the Little Grand Canyon, as well as kayaking with Cache Bayou Outfitters and visiting Blue Sky’s Vineyard. The cabin had everything we needed and lots of extra thoughtful touches too. It's in a nice surrounding, located next to a golf course, which is lovely. Steve was wonderful to work with. I highly recommend it.
