The property was beyond amazing, very secluded, peaceful, tranquil, with incredible views. The cabin was well equipped with everything we need and very comfortable for everyone to spread out and enjoy themselves. The decks and firepit were so nice to enjoy also. Lastly the pool was beyond perfect. It had the perfect amount of shade during the hottest time of day. It made the really hot days very bearable. We couldn't ask for a better place.

One of the highlights was getting a tour of the owner's small working farm—we loved meeting the animals and learning more about the property. She also gave us some great hiking recommendations that led us to some amazing trails we might have otherwise missed.We’re already looking forward to coming back when the pool is open and the weather is even warmer.

Book this now, you will not regret it! Beautiful home that you can tell was built , decorated and maintained with love. The view is gorgeous! Perfect for taking in while sipping your coffee in the morning. Although it was too cold this trip, I have stayed here before and the pool is amazing. The hosts are fantastic! So inviting. They make us feel like friends. And even though I am from just upstate and see farms and farm animals, it was awesome to get the farm tour. If you don’t smile interacting with the cows and watching the chickens run…well let’s be real, you will be smiling like a kid. The location is remote enough for a relaxing , undisturbed, quiet getaway yet close to soooo many things to do! We loved this place and will definitely be repeat customers. ![The view from the deck!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8356dafd-ae0a-474d-b078-2d0ffb47cf74-1748641314212.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Garden of the gods](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/aa57d7b6-0936-4fff-a77e-62c5f87d8170-1748641426802.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Garden of the gods](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9bad49d2-344c-49db-bce8-68769350782a-1748641424210.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Cave in rock](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/35ab0b12-94da-4128-a4cd-431fd51bedcf-1748641426239.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Tina J.

The home was immaculately clean, well appointed, had all the comforts of home and perfect for our family of 5\. The cabin was just as described in the listing and the views are spectacular. Lots to do in the area so the location is perfect. The hosts were responsive to questions and very friendly. The animals on property are far enough away not to be bothersome, but close enough to visit whenever you like. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone. We will be back when the weather is warmer and we can take advantage of the outdoor amenities. ##### Courtney M. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly M. 11 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous in the middle of nowhere! The worst part of this place was leaving. Everything was just perfect….decor, landscaping, cleanliness, layout, amenities….we just can’t wait to go back! It was so nice and relaxing! The pool??….in southern Illinois, that was the cherry on top! Loved it! ##### Kelly M.
