Great Location
The cabin is in a convenient location near town and parks. The first night we had an issue with hot water. We contacted the owner and he quickly resolved the issue. We would recommend this place to our family and frends.

Perfectly cozy
Everything about this place was perfect. The new white living room furniture kind of took me out of the cabin feel but comfy nonetheless. The brand new mattress in the big bedroom was a dream. The mattress on the futon it's too stiff to sleep on. The smaller bedrooms mattress was decent. All the supplies in the kitchen was great to have. We had already started planning next year's trip and staying at these cabins before we even left. Highly recommend.

4 day stay
It was good for the price. Nice size. I didn't like that our cottage was made to accommodate someone in a wheelchair. No one in my party was in a wheelchair. The bathroom sink had no place to put your items because it was all made to accommodate a wheelchair. No bathtub because it was a handicap shower. Also, there was no stove. The owner should provide some kind of portable plug in electric or infrared stove top, some pots and pans, so people can cook. Otherwise, everything was good.

I am a picky person when it comes to where I lay my head at night. This was an amazing property and we will continue to stay at these cabins each time we come to Illinois to visit our daughter and grandchildren,

Nice and comfortable short stay
I rented this cabin for a short Saturday to Monday stay while waiting to pick up my kids from a nearby summer camp. Cabin was comfortable but spacious, with a great little deck off to the side. All the amenities you could need for a weekend and close to Carbondale and limitless outdoor options.
