Host was flexible and quickly responsive. Every need was anticipated and provided for. The deck and hot tub were great! (Firepit didn't work but we didn't need it.) My husband made huge breakfasts each morning and had everything he needed. It was nice to be able to bring our dog! Perfect, quiet location near wineries and Giant City State Park. We and our adult daughter and our dog had a wonderful time!

Hot tub was clean. We did scoop out stuff daily to keep it cleaner. Kitchen is set up nicely. Everything you would need in it, (except a casserole dish, LOL) Bedrooms are awesome and I love the bathrooms. Outside patio is so relaxing. Love the little gas fire pit. Outside grill was clean and we used it everyday!

Very nice and clean property. We will likely stay there again when we come down to visit my daughter in college. Very close to SIU campus. The only things I wanted to bring up are the internet was in and out most of the time we were there and also there is a leak under sink of middle bathroom. But those are not big issues at all.

The cabin was well-stocked and is in a great location, close to many of the hiking trails and vineyards we visited. We had a couple of hiccups first with Wi-Fi and then the dishwasher, but the owner was very responsive and provided excellent communication. Also, the hot tub was a welcome respite at the end of our hiking days :-)

Friends just wanting to get away from our kids and responsibilities and this cabin was perfect. Close enough to town that we went out for some very nice meals and exploring and a fully functional kitchen for all the snacking and lounging we were looking for. Perfect mom getaway.

Perfect cabin and area!

This is the greatest cabin! Plenty of sleeping space, and well stocked. The outdoor space was a beautiful oasis. This is the nicest and cleanest hot tub I’ve ever been in! Can’t say enough great things about Steve and his cabin! I love the town of Makanda, and I will be back soon!

This place was easy to get to right off the main road. I think this place has all the amenities you could need. The hot tub is very large. The host promptly responded to my questions. Our family of four really enjoyed our stay and hope to again in the future.

This is a great place to stay if you want to visit Giant City State Park and surrounding area. The house has a small indoor gathering area but the deck is spacious and the hot tub and view of the moon over the golf course were wonderful.
