A lot of houses that are ran down. The outside of the cabin looks pretty rough. That has a lot to do with the dated asphalt siding on sides and back. The last night we stayed was a rainy night and the roof leaked at the access to the attic. The positive is that while the inside was small it was clean and functional. It did what we needed it to do but it wont be a repeat booking. The positive is that the insid atic ##### Kurt L.

There were deer and a few other animal visitors that we quite enjoyed. The bed was comfy and we slept great, the location takes you out of the hustle and bustle of the rest of the world.

We enjoyed morning coffee on the front porch listening to the trees sway and the geese honking. We had our evening cocktails by the fire pit, looking at the stars and listening to the cicada or crickets. The bed and bedding were very comfortable. This place had everything that we needed to use as a base camp as we explored the thrift shops in Carbondale, the antique stores in Carterville, and hiking at Giant City State Park. ##### Valerie P.

Very comfortable. Just wish the vegetable garden was ready for harvest. While the cabin appears isolated at first glance, it is actually very convenient to Kroger, restaurants, etc. Would definitely stay there again, if passing through Carbondale. ##### Lee G.
