Perfect Cabin
We booked this cabin for an anniversary weekend getaway. Everything about the cabin was perfect! We enjoyed the trail behind the canin. We also enjoyed hiking at nearby, Giant City State Park. Southern Illinois is beautiful in the fall. We hope to be back and highly recommend to others.

Our dog loved Elm cabin!
This place is SO CUTE! Inside was refreshing, clean, homey and really just right. My husband & I stayed here with our dog, and they took their morning walk through the trail behind all the cabins. The salt water hot tub after a day of hiking is soooo delightful. It was nice to have spices already stocked, and there was even a dog bowl for our girl. Sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee and my dog? 12/10

Perfect Cozy Cabin
This cabin was pristine, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. It had everything you would need for an enjoyable getaway including a fire pit, salt spa, and a great assortment of books and games. It’s close enough to trails and outdoor activities to keep your days full and there are some great dining options within 15-25 minutes away.
