About this property
Great Shawnee Wine Trail Cabin in Relaxing Setting
Cave Creek Cabins are built with our guest's comfort in mind. Spacious 1500 Sq. Ft. multi level gives you room to breath. Covered decks let you enjoy the outdoors, even when Mother Nature isn't cooperating.
Our cabins feature beautiful custom wood furniture, countertops and accents made from reclaimed wood that you just have to see. Each cabin offers two bedrooms, all with very comfortable queen mattresses, two sleeper sofas and two full baths. The upper level of the cabins feature a great room with trestle style dining table that seats 8 comfortably. The ample living area has a gas fireplace, recliner, sofa and HD-TV. Our full kitchen, with full size appliances, has beautiful wood countertops and seating for 4 at the island. Large supply of cookware, dinnerware for 8, coffeemaker and toaster provided. One bedroom and a full bath are also located on this level. The upper deck features a great overlook of Cave Creek for you to enjoy from the drink rail while you rest on our comfortable seating.
The lower level has a relaxed seating area with sleeper sofa, TV and DVD player. A game table and board games are provided. Second bedroom and full bath are located on this level, plus the utility room. We also offer satellite TV with separate controllers for each TV. This cabin is perfect for two couples or a family getaway. The deck on this level also offers a good view of the creek for your enjoyment.
Luxurious bed linens and bath towels provided. Soaps, shampoos, paper products and some cleaning supplies are also provided. We also provide an outdoor charcoal grill. And we have a fire pit available for our guest's enjoyment.
We have a dusk to dawn security light illuminating the parking area and cabin entries. Enjoy the fire pit and grilling are on the creek side of the cabin. Take a stroll on the quite country lane, relax around a crackling fire or take a comfortable seat on the covered deck and enjoy the relaxing sounds of the trickling creek.
Less than a mile north of Alto Pass, Mark's Lane is between Alto Vineyards and Rendleman's Orchard Store. It's a very short drive to Bald Knob Cross, Cedar Lake, Little Grand Canyon, Pomona Natural Bridge or Trail of Tears state park. The hiking is great. Try the lesser used trail skirting beautiful Cedar Lake, one of the best fishing lakes in the region.
Alto Pass was in the prime viewing area for the 2017 Eclipse and will be again in April 2024. The Shawnee will again have the longest viewing time for the full eclipse. We have so much to offer visitors in the Shawnee Region. Nature lovers have an abundance of trails to choose from, several of them geared for the occasional hiker or children. There are excellent rock climbing locations for the more adventurous visitors. We have one of the best zip lines in the United States. Our region offers great biking trails. There are lavender farms, strawberry and blueberry patches, and a bison ranch. They start picking peaches in June. Apples and other farm fresh produce are available at the farm stores. Don't miss the orchards in springtime bloom. Watch for festivals and music every weekend at the wineries. Don't miss the food and wine pairing weekends. Yum! And before we know it, the beautiful fall colors will be here. There is something for everyone to enjoy in Southern Illinois. Have a busy day and then come back to a relaxing retreat at Cave Creek!

About the host
Hosted by Roger
Raised in rural Southern Illinois in a family that loved to camp and fish, I enjoyed the beauty of this region long before attending Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. In adult life, I've been both a home builder and a woodworker. I also love good wine, good food and meeting people. And that's how the vision for Cave Creek Cabin emerged. The home builder designed the cabins for comfort and function. The woodworker wanted the beautiful wood features. But mostly, I wanted a great place for people to gather, relax and make great memories.
Why they chose this property
Your home away from home on the Shawnee Wine Trail! We created a cabin where you can be comfortable and relax, with quality that will make you want to come back. We want to become your next Happy Place and can't wait to host you.
