Great for a weekend couples getaway!

Three couples went to stay at the beautiful house and were in awe from moment we stepped in. It was so beautiful and clean. The views from the back porch and hot tub were so amazing. It was the perfect place to stay to do the wine trail. We appreciated all the communication from our host. Would definitely stay again.

Awesome views!

We arrived at the property and had the easiest time entering. We loved the views from the back decks. We enjoyed a rainy morning with hot coffee on the deck during our stay. The hosts provide everything you need for a short stay! Great location for the local wineries and hiking trails as well! Highly recommend!

Great Rental!

We had 7 lively women who wanted to not only celebrate a 60th birthday but also relive our SIU days! This property was perfect. One Queen bed upstairs, twin and queen downstairs. Spacious bathrooms including one with dual shower stalls. Lots of space and outdoor space was so peaceful. Very close to all things Carbondale!

Peaceful and Scenic Location Close to Lakes and Town

Very nice location perched on top of bluffs and at lease one shelter bluff that Indians once used. Ideal location for getting to lakes for fishing and close to town for awesome pizza. The house itself is set up very nicely, especially with the lower and upper decks, focking chairs, fire pit and enjoyable nature. Will return again for sure.

Southern Getaway

We visited this property as an extended family: parents, (2) sets of adult children and spouses, and 2 small children. We had plenty of space, and the property was wonderful! We had a bonfire going the whole time, we spent time in the hot tub, and the living space was large enough we could all hang out inside when needed. Only thing I would ask is for a grill! Otherwise the place had everything we could've needed!

Girls weekend fun

This was a great place for our girls trip. We enjoyed the beautiful view, large gathering space in the great room, and comfortable sleeping quarters! This location was great for hiking nearby, many restaurants, and access to anything you need! We loved eating on the porch, relaxing in the hot tub, and sitting on the patio in the rocking chairs, looking out at the scenery. Easy access and direction as well as a wonderful guide for our stay sent to us upon booking (so much helpful info for planning a great trip in southern Illinois).

25 Wedding Anniversary/Annual visit with mom

The house location, layout, proximity to town and amenities were just perfect and so fitting to what I love and my family loves. The house has the perfect touches with everything we needed. The extra large washing machine was a bonus! We had bonfires every night and sat outside on the upstairs deck during the day. We soaked in the hot tub on a rainy afternoon. In less than 10 minutes, we could hit the gas station, restaurants and grocery stores. We already booked it for next year closer to fall.

Beautiful, comfortable home!

We rented this property for a quick girls weekend. There were 5 of us and we all had plenty of space. Everyone said their bed was comfortable. I loved the mix of indoor and outdoor gathering areas, and the view was so nice! The property owner did a great job of communicating and when I had questions, she responded quickly. Great stay!

Magical Experience

The accommodations were really incredible and the outdoor scenery spectacular. We had such a magical experience seeing eagles fly back-and-forth and play in the canyon by the house. The sounds they make are really unique and their communication back and forth was a peak experience for us. The sunset was amazing and the hot tub outside was very rejuvenating. Overall, it was incredible and we would love to stay there again if ever given the opportunity. Our dog also had plenty of places to play outside.

Beautiful property

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The wood panelling and the vaulted ceiling and the view were all so pretty. Very nice bathroom and kitchen. Lovely, very clean bedrooms and bedding. Super clean throughout. My only complaint is that the hot tub cover needs replacing. It was really difficult to open and close it. But, it was hot on a very cold January day.

Great Ladies' getaway

We ladies had a great couple of days in wine country. It was so nice for all four of us to have our own bed. The house is roomy and was very clean with all the amenities needed. We would recommend it! Be aware, it is closer to the road than we expected, but there was no traffic noise. Also, there are no shades on the main floor windows. Nice location. Close to the wine trail and Carbondale, even a Dollar General. Great stay!

Great location not worth the price

Great location with easy access to many wineries breweries and dining options within 20 minutes. Management company communication very good but asks for additional contract and terms after you agree to VRBO terms. Charged excessive pet feed only to arrive to a house that smelled of pets and stale cigarette smoke. House is much smaller than in the pictures, no en suite baths though both baths were nicely sized. Cheap laminate flooring in the common areas not hardwood and is peeling up in many places.

First of all let me say this was a beautiful home. We did enjoy our week stay. The scenery was spectacular. The weather was perfect. Loved the fire pit. There are a lot of improvements to make it a better stay. The hot tub was sitting at 80 degree? The furnace did not work. The fireplace did not work. She came out to fix fireplace once and then it quit on us again. There is not enough comfortable seating for 4 adults. The back concrete steps were a hazard. Two sisters missed the first step going down and fell. Needs to be a step down strip running along the top of the step so you can see it better, The concrete steps all just blend in too well to see that top step to step down. The place was full of mice. Yes we saw 5 of them and one of them slowly died in the game room. Overall we had a wonderful time and would probably still stay here even with the few issues we had.

A very nice place for which Id rent again. I would have given it a 5/5 but we had trouble with the wifi (which was unplugged) and tv (which I had to use my personal app to watch) and this took over 2 hours for us to resolve on our own despite texting for help. I suggest they buy some new kitchen pans, which were very used and actually dirty. Also the upstairs bathroom door knob kept falling off. Lastly, I would suggest a few "comfortable chairs" so a few people could sit together awhile. The existing chairs were not comfortable at all.That said, we very much enjoyed our stay and I would recommend the house to anyone visiting the Shawnee Wine Trail. The very clean hot tub added a nice touch. thanks for sharing.

Great Property and Manager!

My spouse and I recently had the pleasure of staying at this property for two nights. The cleanliness and upkeep of the place immediately struck us, radiating a warm and inviting atmosphere that suggested it had been recently updated or remodeled. The kitchen boasted an impressive refrigerator and stove/oven, complemented by a convenient washer and dryer. The bedrooms were tastefully furnished and decorated, enhancing the overall comfort of our stay. A highlight of our visit was spending time in the spacious great room, which served as a cozy retreat during a weekend marked by near-zero temperatures outside, thanks to an efficient furnace that kept the interior pleasantly warm. We also had the opportunity to enjoy the hot tub on Saturday, which offered a magnificent view. Although the cold weather prevented us from using the deck, it's a feature we look forward to experiencing on a future visit. We intend to rent this property again, encouraged by the manager's prompt and helpful responses to our inquiries.
