Beautiful and classy
I read some feedback that recommended updates for the cabin. I guess the updates were done before I visited Ashton Rigde.
I knew I would love this place when I first entered the gate. So secluded and beautiful view it was. Sunlight painted the whole wooden house in a light honey golden color through the glass doors. Deers coming down to the pond brought a very tranquil early morning scenery. The cabin brought a very pleasant feeling with its sophisticatedly decorated and cozy atmosphere. Clear instructions inside the house.
I would definitely recommend this amazing place to anyone searching for a tranquil but classy getaway.
Gorgeous Location in need of updates
The location of the cabin is amazing and tranquil. Easy to find if you follow the owners directions. The cabin is cozy and feels less like a house and more like a rustic cabin, which we wanted.
A few items to note-upon arrival the propane tanks were empty and we needed to sweep up dead flies/bugs all around the windows so our toddlers didn't play with them. The kitchen is listed as having everything but there are a few essential items that would be nice to have, like baking sheet and wine opener. There was one broken burner on the oven and the toaster wasn't working. Hand soap wasn't refilled just watered down. Having some kitchen towels/wash clothes would be useful.
Overall our stay was good, we improvised on a few things and the owner reimbursed us for the propane. We came with young kids, so having a well equipped place was sort of essential. The kids had a blast exploring the property, fishing, sitting by the campfire.
Spacious and beautiful
I would recommend this location. It was secluded and beautiful view. Even saw deer drinking from the pond in the morning. Relaxing and worth it. No trouble with the check in and out. I would recommend the signs with instructions inside the home be updated and fix grammatical errors but overall wonderful!
Beautiful and secluded
When we turned onto the road leading to the cabin, we both already knew we were going to love this place. It is a narrow wooded lane tucked back in the Shawnee forest. The private drive was tucked back a little to reveal a beautiful cabin. As we entered the cabin, we were very pleased. It is a very clean and gorgeously decorated home. Everything you need is right there from a fully stocked kitchen to basic toiletries. We both enjoyed relaxing on the deck as we saw deer, turkey and geese every day we were there. The convenience of the location is actually great, close to the wine trail and just a few minutes from Carbondale. We recommend this cozy cabin to anyone looking for a quiet secluded getaway. The owners made the renting experience very pleasant and easy.
Great place to stay would highly suggest it for a weekend getaway.
Great way to spend a weekend or week super nice place can't wait to get back.
Beautiful Cabin
Clean, Well furnished, Beautiful setting. I am looking forward to booking my next stay at this cabin.
