About this property

THE VIEWS! Minutes from Garden of the Gods, Shawnee with Highland cows & a pool!

  • Enjoy amazing views of the Shawnee National Forest ⭐️❗️

    Rustic Ridge is a small working farm located in Southern Illinois about 15 minutes north of Garden of the Gods, Shawnee National Forest.

    Our cabin has lots of windows for great indoor viewing as well as lots of patio & deck spaces to enjoy the outdoors. Splash in the pool (in season). Walk down to see the animals on our 40 acre property, go Explore the Shawnee National Forest, take a drive to the wine trail or visit nearby horse trails, atv trails, ziplining, bike trails, and so much more that the Shawnee National Forest area has to offer.

    Meet the animals:
    🐄 Highland Cows (Magnolia, Honeysuckle, Daisy, Lily, Rusty, & Yeti)
    🫎 Moose & Duke the dogs. You might see them running around the property.
    🐈 Multiple cats roam the property.
    🐥🐓 chickens and chicks

No Fence around pool! You accept responsibility for yourself & other guests.
