Great cabins; clean and had what we needed for a long weekend. Microwave went out and Steve had replacement within hours. The gravel hill to our, and a few other cabins, was challenging with the motorcycle, but slow and steady. Lol. Thank you!

Nice get-away with everything you need.
Cabin was easy to find and the stay was very quiet. It was peaceful sitting on the back deck and enjoying the surrounding nature with a cold drink in hand. The inside was well furnished, the A/C was cold, and the layout was nice. We went to the nearby trailhead and did some trail running early in the morning, then spent the afternoons in Carbondale or Giant City. We will stay here again, 5 stars. Thx!

Meet our needs
We enjoyed our stay. We were traveling from WI to FL and this was half way. Everything went well. We hiked nearby and enjoyed a few wineries and a Bourbon Bar nearby.

Long weekend hiking
Property was centrally located for a weekend full of hiking. Check in was a breeze and the property was as described. The weather was perfect, so we weren’t at the property except to sleep. It was perfect!

Sweet little cabin
The owner gave very concise instructions to reach the property and enter the cabin. Cabin had all the amenities needed for our stay. It was comfortable and clean. I should also say it is a central area for local hiking and wine or beer trail. I will definitely look for this property again.
