We had such a wonderful stay. It was the most peaceful, perfect get away. We went to wineries, hiked, and swam in Cedar Lake! The cabin was in the perfect location so we were close to everything!!

We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was clean, quiet and a comfortable space for 2 people. Check-in & out was easy, the place was well stocked, and the wi-fi was reliable. We appreciated the snacks, coffee, and creamer. The cabin is a duplex. Other cabins are nearby, but it was still peaceful and had a pretty view of tall trees. It was hot out, but the central a/c worked great. There was a table and 2 chairs on the deck, which was nice in the early evening when it cooled down a little. The location is only about 10 minutes to Giant City State Park, Carbondale, and Poplar Camp Beach at Cedar Lake (small charge but looked nice). Steve was very communicative, and we appreciate getting to stay here!

Perfect location and cozy place
Great location off of route 51 that gets you to all the fun on the wine trail and allows you get to a bunch of different stuff to do outdoor. Enjoyed our stay 4th of July Weekend 2025!

A very simple cabin in a great spot for those heading to Cedar Lake, or other area lakes, hikes, or adventures. Though the cabin is a bit dated, and worn from years of travelers passing through, it functioned perfectly for me on my short stay.

The cabin was exactly as advertised. The host answered all the questions I had and helped find some local spots. Lots of little perks in the cabin like good coffee and a bag of popcorn. It was a quiet, secluded spot to relax.

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.
