An absolute gem surrounded by all nature has to offer! Extremely clean! Hot tub was AWESOME after a long day of hiking. Tom was an excellent host and has thought of everything you need for your stay. The upper deck was perfect for morning coffee while listening to the birds and watching the deer move through the property. Great location to get to all areas of Shawnee National Forest.

About the host

Hosted by Tom Kohler

Host profile image
I'm a middle school teacher and coach up north. I love the outdoors; hiking, biking, climbing, kayaking, and the lake! I'm excited to share this cabin with others when I'm not here with small groups of kids for outdoor adventures!

Why they chose this property

I've been bringing kids down to Southern Illinois for many years for camping and outdoor adventure. Feryn Clyffe and Giant City State Park are awesome!!! My cabin in located on a quiet dead end street.

What makes this property unique

The deck on the second floor offers a beautiful view of the dry creek behing the cabin. The elevated deck provides a "treehouse" type feel. Relax in the hammock while listening to the birds and wind chime.
