Garden of the Gods Retreat w/ Hot Tub & Fire Pit

10/10 Excellent

"This was absolutely the best VRBO we’ve stayed in. The property was beautiful, house was very clean. We had everything we needed and could ask for for this holiday weekend. They had a lot of information in an easy to follow binder. We had our dogs, they loved the large yard to run a play in. I can’t say enough wonderful things!!If we ever go back to that area, this is our go to!!"

100-Acre Garden of the Gods Retreat w/ Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"The house met all of our needs and is beautiful decorated. We used the house as our base for a mini family reunion with my three siblings and their spouses. The house was the perfect size for the eight of us and the two dogs that came along with two of the couples. The large back porch overlooking the field behind the house was perfect to let the dogs run as the house is secluded from other houses and a short drive from the road. Our hosts were very responsive to our needs and quickly replaced the stove (just 3 years old) with a new one when it began to throw an error message while we were cooking. Everyone had a wonderful time. Our 4-day weekend was a great success with hiking, a visit to the iron furnace, and a local winery."

Economy Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and kids stayed for one night at this motel. When we checked in, they realized that they did not have a double bed room ready for us, because they had an unexpected group of people purchase a block of rooms the same night. However, the owner was extremely apologetic and made things right. They quickly cleaned a double bed room for us and ensured there were extra amenities including a coffee maker with supplies and a breakfast basket. Honestly, the room was better than some hotels that I've stayed at before. The room was very clean and had a mini fridge, microwave, and nice mattresses. It seemed like the room had been recently renovated because the flooring, paint, and other details were in excellent condition. We would for sure stay again and recommend! PS - when looking at reviews online for motels/hotels, be sure to use a site that is connected to actual stay. My understanding is that anyone can leave a review on sites like Google, so the reviewer may not have actually stayed at the location."

The Hickory Hollow Log Cabin by Garden of Gods in the Shawnee National Forest

10/10 Excellent

"Hickory Hollow was what we were looking for. The unit matched what was advertised and was perfect for our quick couples retreat. Keyless entry and great directions from the Outpost were greatly appreciated. The unit was very clean and had all the supplies noted. The notebook in the unit was very useful for hiking and for dining suggestions. In Golconda we went to Diver Down Restaurant which we would highly recommend. Very close to Garden of the Gods and Cave In Park. Elizabethtown was another nice spot (Mercantile Store). I would suggest downloading maps of the area as cell phone reception is a bit sketchy."

White Oak Tree House by Garden of the Gods in the Shawnee National Forest

10/10 Excellent

"Great location thankgod you had good air conditioning. Could use some more food items at the outpost. Tv batteries were low .a true treehouse"

Standard Suite - Bungalow overlooking the River

10/10 Excellent

"It is a very peaceful environment. Walking the property offers opportunities for quiet reflection , as does simply sitting on the porch overlooking the river."
