The Hickory Hollow Log Cabin by Garden of Gods in the Shawnee National Forest
8/10 Good
"The cabin was small as it was described on line. It had everything we needed for a laid back weekend trip.We should have planned to make our meals at the cabin. A lot of the restaurants were closed for the season or just open on the weekends!"
"We had a wonderful stay at the Round House. It is centrally located to all of the sites in Shawnee National Forest. Our host Alison was very responsive and the property is beautiful."
"What a great stay we had! It started with an A host that answered a bunch of questions we had about the area. Very clean and cozy cabin with all the extras you could ask for. Outside covered deck, super comfy beds and oh yeah…..an amazing hot tub! Which was soooo nice to slide into after an all day hike in the Garden of the Gods Observatory Forest! Absolutely amazing place to stay in a beautiful area of Illinois. Anyone looking to connect to nature and some outdoor fun, this is the place. Truly! We are already planning our next stay."
"We had a great weekend at Blackridge Cabin. The property is beautiful, very clean, and up to date. We had everything we needed and more. If you forget something, don't worry, because Kathy probably already has it in the cabin! There are toiletries in the bathroom, supplies in the kitchen cabinets, and fresh farm eggs in the fridge! There is free firewood and supplies to get it started. We enjoyed some of the outdoor games and watching the animals. We will definitely be back!"
Beautiful custom built cabin near Garden of the Gods
8/10 Good
"Check-in was stressful when the provided passkey to get in did not work and hosts didn’t answer either available phone number. Eventually I had enough signal to get online and contact them through VRBO and we worked it out.Definitely not airtight between rooms and floors and extremely steep stairs.Location is idyllic and 15 minute drive from Garden of the Gods. We enjoyed our stay once we got inside. We explored the property and tools advantage of the hot tub (which could have been warmer). A little easier check in and more proactive communication from the owner and this would be a great place to unwind and relax."
