The cabin was absolutely beautiful. It looked just like the pictures. The property outside was well maintained. The inside was so clean and everything we used for cooking was easy to find. The bathroom was stocked with toilet paper, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, body was, and even dog soap. The Internet connection was great and the tv was easy to work. The fridge was the cutest fridge I’ve ever seen! We played washers and cooked dinner on the propane grill. The best part was the hot tub. It worked perfectly and was much needed for our getaway. I would book again over a hotel any day! Thank the hosts so much for maintaining a beautiful cabin and making it a cozy home away from home :)

Weekend getaway
Our weekend at this tiny cabin was exactly what we needed — a chance to shut the world off and simply be together. Tucked away in a peaceful, wooded setting, the cabin gave us the perfect escape from everyday noise and distractions. It was cozy, clean, and thoughtfully designed, with a strong Wi-Fi signal when we needed it — but honestly, we hardly touched our phones. Being so close to Ferne Clyffe State Park and surrounded by endless natural adventures made every moment feel full of possibility, even though there were too many trails and sights to fit into just one trip. We loved that we were also close enough to convenience stores to pick up groceries and grill at the cabin, making our time together even more relaxed and personal. This cabin was a peaceful, beautiful place to simply breathe, laugh, and enjoy each other’s company. We will definitely be back.

Amazing little cabin! Spent a week here while celebrating our 15yr Anniversary, it allowed us to explore all the hiking trails and wine tasting we wanted with its location. Best part our fur baby got to join us and enjoyed fires at night. Hot tube was great for relaxing after a day of exploring!

Cozy Get-Away
My wife and I had the pleasure of spending one night away from the kids in this charming little cabin. We loved everything about it. I wish the weather had been warmer so we could have enjoyed a little fire by the creek. The hosts are very friendly and responsive. They’ve done a great job creating a lovely cabin. I hope we can stay again the future.

Perfect cozy cabin for our weekend getaway!
Our family of four (myself, husband, 5yo son, 7o son) had a fantastic stay at this tiny, cozy cabin! It was exactly as pictured—charming, well-maintained, and stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The cabin was spotless, well-kept, and perfectly nestled in the woods, providing the peaceful retreat we were looking for.Communication with the owners was also excellent—they were responsive, helpful, and made the whole process seamless. The location was ideal, with great hiking trails just a short distance away. The kids also loved the hot-tub! If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing escape in nature, this is the place to be.We loved our stay and will definitely rent from them again! Highly recommend!

Great cabin tucked away in nature!
This is the perfect little cabin tucked away in the hills near the lake. It’s perfectly private with easy access to lots of nearby activities including Ferne Cliffe State Park and the wine trails. The space and amenities were perfect, they truly thought of everything. The hosts were quick in response and so lovely. We cannot recommend this rental enough!

Great little cabin!
This little cabin is tucked into a hillside and is very cute. It was extremely clean and had all the amenities of home, down to the salt and pepper. This was a test run mostly for our dog and worked out well. We did not use the hot tub, so I cannot comment on that, but I'm sure it would have been amazing. It is in a residential area very near Lake Egypt and the road was busy at times, but all the people in the area seemed very friendly and waved as they drove by. So fun! The cabin is close to Goreville and Ferne Clyffe State Park, which has great trails. It's a perfect little getaway.

Perfect Get Away ❤️
My husband and I brought our 2 dogs to just disconnect and relax for a couple of days. The cabin is in a quiet lake neighborhood and not super close to any neighbors, very private. Cabin was super clean and had everything you’d need for a weekend- Keurig coffee maker, pots, pans, air fryer, hot plate. We even saw a deer in the woods next to the cabin on our last morning! Wonderful trip 10/10 would recommend

Delightfully charming cabin
This was a great simple stay for a long weekend get away for us. The space was perfect place to rest, relax, and renew from the long Illinois winter. Easy communication with owner, easy access, and straightforward but charming tiny cabin. We were reguvinated after hiking at Ferne Cliff and Giant City State parks, enjoying local carryout BBQ and Pizza, and lounging in the cute cabin. The rockers on front deck were a perfect place to enjoy listening to the outdoors. It is a tiny cabin nestled at the bottom of hill surrounded by many trees. It was a great find for us and we would recommend it!!
