Beautiful location in the secluded woods

This is your peaceful and serene nature getaway with an off grid appeal. It is secluded and beautiful and borders the Shawnee National Forest boundary. It is right on the wine trail in southern Illinois, with plenty of orchards and famous hiking trails such as Little Grand Canyon and Pomona Natural Bridge. Hunting is legal on this 8.2 acre property, and there are plenty of places to hike on the property and into the connecting Shawnee National Forest. There are picnic areas in the woods and a spacious back deck to enjoy your morning coffee or evening glass of wine while enjoying the sunset. This place is very secluded and there is almost no traffic as it sits on a one lane farm road. The entire home has been renovated and remodeled, with a wood burning stove inside. For 2024, it is in the heart of total darkness for the eclipse! Rent this secluded place and have it all to yourself for the week! Your pets are more than welcome! The bedrooms sleep 5 people. Extra guests are welcome to bring air mattresses. The kitchen has coffee and a coffee maker, as well as ice and water. There is bathtub and a shower for guests. There is also a sheltered picnic area outside in case of rain, as well as a covered back deck. WI-FI has just been added to the home! .

This is a great location in the Shawnee National Forest, with easy access to the Little Grand Canyon, Pomona Natural Bridge, and the wineries around Alto Pass. The cabin was clean and comfortable on an uncommonly warm spring weekend. We especially enjoyed the large back porch and views out into the forest at sunset. The cabin is very dog friendly with ceramic tile floors. We also like to cook while traveling, and the kitchen is spacious and well-equipped. The location was very quiet, with no noise from the road or neighboring properties.

Excellent secluded home in the heart of the wine country. We love having the wood stove inside during the winter when we stayed. Home was clean and had all the amenities we could ask for our weekend stay. We will be booking again in the spring or summer to bring the kids to explore the woods and the connecting Shawnee national forest property. Close to wineries and restaurants in the area as well as hiking trails. Loved it!!! Thank you!!!
