Cozy cabin
Wonderful property with all the needed essentials and more! The patio area overlooks a beautiful field and there was also a nice fire pit area. The bed was so, so comfortable! There was even a thicker memory foam pad for the sofa sleeper. Host was very responsive too! Would stay here again to hike in the area!

Cute and Clean
This cabin was perfect for my birthday weekend away! It was super clean and fresh. Everything you need is in this cabin. The owners thought of things that I didn't know that I needed!! We had all of the comforts from home. The king size bed is super soft, almost too soft! The lake isn't as easy to get to as I would have liked. You have to walk down a path and there were parts that were pretty rocky and slippery. The cabin is located in an area that is close to the wineries and lots of hiking. We had a fun and peaceful weekend.

Perfect!
I couldn't have been happier with our little getaway! This house is adorable, cozy, and had everything we needed. And it was so clean!---without smelling "clean." As someone with a fragrance (chemical) sensitivity, it isn't easy to find places I can stay. Prior use of laundry fragrance and air fresheners don’t just go away. Being told that these items weren't used was clear to me because I had absolutely no issue. None. And when I saw the bar of fragrance-free soap that Denise had out for me I nearly cried. It is clear that Denise and Ken care not just about their home but their guests. (Communication with Denise prior to our stay was also easy with quick responses.) We enjoyed sitting out on the charming porch in the evening, sipping on wine and enjoying the country atmosphere. And sitting outside with a hot cup of coffee in the morning was just what I dream of. Peaceful and perfect. It was fun to watch the deer in the open field in the evening. The simple things. I felt completely relaxed and at home. The view of the lake is as beautiful as the pictures. Special note: it was a bit of a walk on a rocky path so once was enough for me. The cabin is very close to the owner’s home but that wasn’t an issue at all. It was actually comforting for me to know that if we needed anything (which we didn’t) they were close by. A getaway worth repeating!

Very secluded
We are busy people who do not find it easy to relax. The private lane to the property was a delight and beautiful. It was fun being greeted by the epedomy a southern gentleman who smelled so good. We were able to relax from day one and owners were most responsive to our needs. The feather laden bed was beyond amazing and the group of deers on the property were fun as it seemed they enjoyed watching us as we did them.

Our stay at Crews Mountain
We really enjoyed our stay in Goreville thanks to Denise and Ken Crews. Their rental home was perfect for us. It had everything that we needed, then a little more. It was very clean and comfortable, from the soft towels to the very comfy bedroom. The rooms were large and tastefully decorated. Ken Crews met us when we arrived. He gave us info about the area. We enjoyed our conversation with him. We thought their property was beautiful. Thanks guys!

They stay was wonderful and relaxing. Even though the cabin is next to the owners house you still feel away from people. We didnt see anyone. The cabin is a great home away from home. The owners are very responsive and willing to help! The property is beautiful and peaceful. The path to get to the lake is nicely done with gravel and is wide. It can be steep at times and uneven. Overall it was a wonderful stay!!!!

Weekend tour of Shawnee and other attractions
Cabin was clean and well-appointed. Location was beautiful and centrally located for our purposes. Host was accommodating with everything ready for our stay. Check in and out was easy. Deer and wildlife outside our windows with the lake just a short walk down the trail. Highly recommend!

Cute Place in the Country
The house sits next to the home of the owners and a pool divides the properties. I think that is important to note if you are not wanting something like that. For my daughter and I, it was fine. Another thing to note were the ants. They were fairly bad in the kitchen even with nothing but food in sealed containers left out. Before arrival, the owners were helping me prepare for check in which was very helpful! They were incredibly nice and very responsive. I asked a question on the app late at night and got a reply very quickly. The bed is very comfortable and the pull out actually is as well. The place was plenty large for the 2 of us and we enjoyed our stay.
