Romantic Cabin w/ Hot Tub Near Carbondale

The Couple Retreat is designed solely for one couple. No pets, no kids, nobody but you and your significant other. It's a place where you can relax, reconnect and rejuvenate. This cabin has everything you need to make your stay restful and soothing, with 750 square feet of living space all on one level. It offers one beautifully furnished bedroom with a queen bed, large dresser and a flat screen TV and DVD. The great room has a cozy stone, gas fireplace with a large flat screen TV above it. A comfortable couch for lounging space. The full size kitchen has beautiful hickory cabinets stocked with everything you need to cook and serve your meals. With a refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave and dishwasher, you'll be able to prepare wonderful meals if you choose. Of course we also provide a toaster and coffee maker. For those of you who enjoy a steak or burger from the grill, you'll find a charcoal grill on the screened in back porch. For added convenience we provide a washer and dryer as well.

And the best part, we just put in a BRAND New hot tub!!! Perfect for the two of you! Soak away all your worries.

If you want to enjoy Mother Nature all you have to do is step outside. You'll love watching the deer graze while kicking back in the rocking chairs on the covered front porch. In the winter just snuggle up in front of the fireplace. We provide WiFi and movies.

The host was very welcoming and easy to reach, though we didn’t experience any issues during our stay. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described, and the hot tub was a great bonus. I do recommend bringing bottled water, as the tap water wasn’t the best. I like that it feels “off grid” but there are plenty of activities close to enjoy, as well.
Enjoyed my coffee with a baby and her mama.

What an amazing cabin. We loved the quiet location and the cabin was well stocked with everything you could need. Alison checked in with us throughout our stay to ensure we were settled in and to see if we had any questions. We loved waking up in the morning to see peacocks walking by. We can't wait to stay here again soon!

As soon as we walked in, we were in awe of how adorable the cabin was. It is a very modern and comfy cabin. The surrounding property was so peaceful. We would definitely stay here again! I wish we had more time to stay longer. We spent a lot of time at Touch of Nature this weekend and the cabin was a quick, easy drive. Watch out for the deer at night!
