The cabin looked even better in person than in the pictures! It was beautiful, renovated, and clean. We had a large group of 8 adults stay for one evening and the space was plenty. The location was quiet, and just as secluded as advertised. Would highly recommend!

This property was so beautiful and peaceful. The cabin was beautifully decorated. One of our family members has a walker, and had no problem getting around the lower level and out onto the deck.

Great Secluded Cabin!

This place was awesome for our stay in the area. It's located centrally to a lot of the popular areas in Shawnee National Forest. The property backs right up to the park and there's a small creek with rock overhangs back there.

Wonderful cabin

We had amazing 2 days at this cabin, which is located in a very secluded and scenic place on the edge of the Lusk Creek canyon hiking area. Cabin has everything you could wish for, is very clear and beautifully decorated.

Turkey hunting trip

The cabin, location and owner were great during our Turkey hunting trip. We had plenty of room for ten guys. Owner was great and responded immediately when we reached out. Found out the owner also owns Shotgun Eddie’s, which had excellent food and cold drinks. We will be returning and would highly recomend.

Fantastic

We had an amazing stay in the cabin. It is so nicely updated. Plenty of beds for our family. Has all the basics you could need for cooking. Used the fire pit out back. Stars were incredible! Beautiful property. We were there to visit the Shawnee National Forest and the location was great for us to hit all the popular spots. Would definitely stay again

Cabin Stay

We had a great time! The cabin was clean and owner very responsive. The hiking in the area was amazing, especially Garden of the Gods. The only feedback I’d give is that the cabin is two bedrooms with two additional sleeping areas within the main living and dining areas. This layout worked well for two families with small children.

Clean, spacious

Clean and well-stocked. Having many beds makes it economical for larger groups, while spacious grounds offer a variety of hang out spots. The living room is cozy but small, and larger groups will have difficulty comfortably watching movies.

Beautiful property for nature lovers!

This property is wonderful! The cabin is well-kept and comfortable and in a fabulous location for viewing wildlife, hiking, and quiet relaxation. Without even leaving the house we were able to view deer, hummingbirds, bats, butterflies, turkey, and so much more, plus the surrounding hiking trails are spectacular. The host was very responsive to a need that arose while we were there and was quick to remedy our situation. We plan on returning soon!

Motorcycle Trip To Shawnee And Surrounding Area

We really enjoyed the stay and accommodations. This is a secluded property in the middle of the woods. Very clean and well maintained. Jared was responsive to every question I had. He also owns a local restaurant called Shotgun Eddy’s. Had both breakfast and dinner. Both were very good.

Better than listing

We stopped for a night on our way to a family reunion. We were not expecting to have such an amazing stay. The property is clean, updated and it's private and so scenic. The owner was beyond accommodating and kind. We did a fire, roasted s'mores, swung on the porch swing and truly enjoyed the beauty of the outside. We didn't want to leave. Recommend!

Visiting son at SIC

The cabin was very secluded and quiet! I guess the whole county had no internet service, so the first night we had no tv and we couldn’t get anything with our phones. Luckily it came back on Sunday mid morning, but we had to go to Carbondale to watch my son play baseball for SIC. We came back watch some tv and went to bed. The place was very cozy!
