Great place to overnight near Garden of the Gods

Just as adorable as the photos look. Was a great place to recoup after a long hike, wish we went in the summer when the catfish kitchen around the corner was serving!

Husband and I stayed here while exploring southeastern Illinois. It was the perfect location for visits to Garden of the Gods and Cave-in-Rock. Everything was comfortable. Nice to have the E-Town restaurant and E-Town Tap so close. The only suggestion I have is to install a floor length mirror somewhere for fit check. 10/10 would definitely stay here again!

We really loved our stay here. The river was right by us and we could take a nice little walk to it. Loved the original pictures of the building and it was all we needed!

Great place to stay and experience a quaint, IL town

We enjoyed this tiny house during our stay. It’s clean, dog-friendly with a fenced patio and within a 20-30 minute drive to the surrounding popular hiking and nature sight-seeing spots. The town itself is very small and you’ll need to drive a little ways for restaurants and groceries. The mercantile shop directly next door is very cute and a great spot to get coffee, Ice cream and local goods. Would recommend for a family of four (like us) or smaller.

Cute house on the Ohio River

We visited Gardens of the Gods and Cave in the Rock, both places we loved. The rental property was near both parks. The house was just what we wanted. It had everything we needed. There were limited restaurants but we enjoyed cooking at home and then sit by the fire pit afterwards. Would rent this place again if we find ourselves in that area.

A perfect get away

Our experience was great! The home was beautiful and perfectly located for peace and quiet. The host was amazing to work with. I couldn't have asked for better communication. If you stay in this house, make sure you visit the ice cream shop next door for cool stuff and the best ice cream around!

February Travelers

This little house was very nicely remolded along the Ohio River. The rustic industrial decor was awesome. Perfect for a little get away. It was close to the Garden of the Gods for some hiking. The E-Town bar was across the street and had a band playing Saturday night. We ate at a hole in the wall restaurant called Shotgun Eddys that we enjoyed.

Welcoming little town

This little house has everything one would need. The bed was amazingly comfortable. The fried catfish on the river was excellent but is closed the first part of the week. We cooked meat purchased from the little store next door one night and it was delicious. Very high quality. We were hiking some of the paths in Shawnee and enjoyed our stay. We can’t wait to come back.
