I don't want to tell anyone about this great cabin because I want it to always be available for me! It's a perfect getaway cabin near Carbondale, Giant City, and the wine trail. Steve was a great host. The cabin is well appointed with 2 gorgeous bathrooms. The outdoor space is maximized with a large hot tub and outdoor grill and fire pit. We loved soaking and looking at the stars. With a college student at SIUC and mile's of trails to be explored, we will definitely be back.

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.

Relaxing

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.

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 :-)
