I came to spend some time with my daughter who goes to SIU. It was nice, quiet, and had the great charm. It is a cabin so it is rustic but that was the charm of the cabin. The bed was great, we were able to cook and relax like the comforts of home. The wifi had an issue and needed to be reset and the host was very prompt on fixing the issue. He was available! I will definitely stay here again when I visit my daughter! ##### Tracey K.

Had everything we needed. Steve was great in helping us get the gas fireplace started as we were unfamiliar with how to operate it. He had someone stop by and start the pilot light while we were gone so that when we got home we just had to turn it on. Made the evening and the next morning so cozy! ##### Jackie and Dan M.

During our stay, we enjoyed hiking and exploring the Panther’s Den, Ferne Clyffe State Park (especially Bork Falls), Giant City State Park, the Pomona Natural Bridge, the Little Grand Canyon, as well as kayaking with Cache Bayou Outfitters and visiting Blue Sky’s Vineyard. The cabin had everything we needed and lots of extra thoughtful touches too. It's in a nice surrounding, located next to a golf course, which is lovely. Steve was wonderful to work with. I highly recommend it. ##### Wendy A.

Such a cute and peaceful little cottage and had everything we needed for a great weekend! Now if only the bed were bigger than full size. I'm going to check into the other cottages to see if we can get a unit with a bigger bed next time. Cabin 3 had a great view of woods and with the windows open at night we listened to crickets and hoot owls, which was lovely. Suggestions... provide tea for tea drinkers, broom off all the cobwebs around porch, put a screen on slider doors, bedroom carpeting could use a shampoo. PROS...comfy bed, soft linens, 4 pillows plus extras in closet, fluffy new towels, lovely shampoos etc..., french vanilla creamers, air conditioning, peaceful surroundings. All in all a great place! We're so glad that all the Carbondale hotels were full for parent's weekend and that, having to explore further, we found this place! This will be our new place for visiting our son at SIU! Thank you! Oh, also, print out your cabin number or take a screen shot before you get there. We couldn't get any internet and had to drive a ways away to be able to check e-mail on my phone for check in information. My fault. I should have had that on hand before we arrived. ##### Meg M.

The host answered all the questions I had and helped find some local spots. Lots of little perks in the cabin like good coffee and a bag of popcorn. It was a quiet, secluded spot to relax. ##### kory a.
