Relaxing Unique Cave Creek Cabin 2 in Shawnee near Alto Pass and Bald Knob Cross

Cave Creek is a peaceful little stream running through our wooded property. Sit at the drink rail on the upper deck and let the relaxing sounds of the creek ease your cares away.

Conveniently located on the western edge of the Shawnee Wine Trail, our cabin is close to the many activities, wineries, breweries or restaurants the region has to offer. Enjoy the orchard blooms in the spring and in summer and fall, the bountiful harvest is available at the orchard stores. Our cabin offers the perfect accommodations for a family reunion, pre-wedding event, wedding weekend or a quite, relaxing getaway with friends.

Beautiful artisan crafted wood features and furniture made from reclaimed wood throughout make the cabin unique. The comfort of our guests is foremost in our minds. The cabin is multi level with two large covered decks overlooking Cave Creek so you can enjoy relaxing outdoors even on a rainy day. A spacious 1500 sq ft, the cabin can sleep up to 8 guests, has a full kitchen stocked with cookware and dinnerware. The kitchen, dining area for 8, and living area with gas fireplace, recliner and HD-TV are located on the entry level. A bedroom, with very comfortable queen bed, a full bath and a sleeper sofa are located on each level.

The large family area, featuring board games and game table, satellite, HD-TV, DVD/CD player are located on the lower level. With a bedroom and full bath on each level, our cabins are perfect for multi couples or families. Our showers have great water pressure, too!

Luxurious linens and bath towels provided. Soap, shampoo, paper products and some cleaning supplies available. Large vanities in the bath and hair dryers for our guest's needs.

A dusk to dawn security light illuminates the parking area and cabin entry. A fire pit and grilling area (charcoal grill) are located on the creek side of the cabin. Relax around a crackling fire, take a leisurely walk on the quite lane or have a seat on the covered decks listening to the creek as it passes by.

Just north of Alto Pass, off Highway 127 on a quiet country lane, our property is located in the midst of orchard property making it a tranquil setting. There's tons of great hiking trails or good fishing nearby. You can take a pottery class, zip line through the Shawnee canopy, learn to repel at the state park or you could just relax while sipping some locally crafted wine or brews. Take a short drive to the Bald Knob Cross of Peace, located on the most prominent elevation in So. Illinois, for a multi state view or unforgettable sunrise.

Another Wonderful Stay!
This is our second time at the cabin and another great time! Brought family this time, so four adults, and there was plenty of space. Nice added touches you do not usually get in a rental (plush towels, fully stocked kitchen with any gadget you need, outdoor grill and firepit area, and much more). Cabin set up is great, as it provides some privacy having each bedroom on separate floors. Perfect for two couples, if you are looking for a place. Also, very centrally located to the wineries, which is what we were there for. :)

Great Family Getaway
My family of 5 stayed at Cave Creek Cabin for our hiking getaway. The fully stocked kitchen made it easy to grill dinner and whip up pancakes for breakfast. Plenty of clean towels and linens with comfortable space for us to gather. The beds are comfy and the firepit made for amazing night sky views. The nearby towns are small with a cute wine trail. We hiked in Giant City, Garden of the Gods and boated on Lake Egypt, which are all about 30-90 minutes away and easy to get to. We happened to print our check-in instructions, which was handy since cell service is spotty to get the instructions online. The whole county has limited cell options. We would stay here again.

Great Place!
Our first stay at this cabin & it was great! Clean & pleasantly surprised how well stocked it was! Owner was there briefly one day, and super nice to talk to. He gave us recommendations of places to go. Our group ended up meeting the cabin renters next to us & hanging out with them. Made new friends! Great location to get to the wineries. Definitely would stay here again!

Best Place for a Weekend Getaway
The cabin was beautiful, clean, and well maintained. What amazed me the most was that there were lots of small amenities conveniently placed throughout the cabin, such as coffee supplies, charcoal for the fire pit, night lights for the bathroom, and pens. This trip couldn’t have gone any smoother and was an a amazing time because this property owner really though of everything. Thank you so much!
