Summary: This cabin was everything we were looking for. It was quiet and secluded, no traffic noise at all. The cabin itself was extremely clean, nicely furnished and well maintained. We appreciated the owner's hospitable gestures such as providing charcoal and lighter fluid for the grill. With numerous nearby hiking trails to pick from we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend staying here.

Summary: I loved this rental! This quiet getaway was perfect for a private birthday celebration! The lawns were well kept and the house was immaculately clean - I would definitely stay here again! It was also a plus to be so secluded, but still within a decent driving distance from excursions and the grocery store for last-minute items.

Summary: We were looking for a quiet place to relax between our adventures around southern IL. This cabin was perfect. It was clean, had anything we needed (except wi-fi), the front porch, back porch and surroundings provided a peaceful place to enjoy the outdoors. We would recommend this to others or even go back again ourselves.
