Hilltop Retreat 2: Spacious, pond-front home for 12 near wine trail!

Our second listing for Hilltop Retreat, this two-level home provides the space and seclusion a group of 12 could use to get away from the hustle of everyday life. Located next to the Shawnee National Forest, and right at the beginning of the Shawnee Wine Trail, this home has a lot to offer. Take in the scenery of the private pond on the upper porch deck, or enjoy a fire in the evenings around the large firepit. Plenty of games are provided in the game/movie theater room as well!

For even larger groups, consider renting the house next door and share the seclusion! Find it on this site, "Hilltop Retreat, a modernly-rustic getaway!" or send a message for further information! Plenty of parking is available for multiple cars and/or boats.

Wi-Fi is now available at this home! T-mobile is the carrier, and the username/password details are printed out inside the home. DVD's are also provided for your enjoyment.

Great secluded location
We stayed there with 7 other friends for Homecoming and we loved every bit of our stay. The cabin I clean, spacious, and welcoming. The location is secluded and quiet which is nice to relax on the deck or around a campfire after a long day. It’s just far enough out of town where you have peace of mind but still super close to Murphysboro and close to Carbondale for a quick drive into town. Also located at the beginning of the wine trail. Comes with some games in the basement and tons of firewood is provided with your stay. You can also relax by fishing in the pond adjacent to the cabin. Overall I can’t think of anything negative to say about the owner and the cabin. One of my favorite place ever! We are definitely going to get it again next year for Homecoming.

Great Home Base for a Busy Visit to the Area
We had a great time with family on a busy weekend visit to the area. The home was well suited for a family to play and talk but then spread out during quiet time. The kitchen was well equipped and the home was very tidy. It's outside of town but not too far outside.Two thumbs up!

Awesome
It was great. Just as described. The pond was so much fun for the kids. Caught something almost every time they cast their line out. Catch and release of course. The fire pit and back deck are awesome. So pretty and peaceful. Fun hang out space at night. Communicate was great with Ashley.

Wine Tour
The place was clean and kitchen accommodations were perfect. We loved the fire pit and outdoor seating. I don't know how you could sleep as many as they claim and the game room was disappointing.
