Came down for 4th of July weekend because Prizer Point KOA was all booked up but we loved how peaceful and quiet the cabin was and only a short drive to the marina and the boat ramp. We grilled out and had a fire pit and made S'mores with our family.

Very nice cabin and amenities

We truly enjoyed our stay, worth the expense. The cabin was perfectly decorated and very clean. It had everything you need during a stay, and then some. With WiFi and cable TV in 2 rooms, it is the best. No complaints with this place. Beats an hotel for sure. Wildlife in the area too. Great value.

Great escape from busy Chicago

Our 6hrs drive from Chicago was totally rewarded. The Cabin was very clean and spacious. Antique stores, farmers markets, cozy restaurants, and most of all friendly peoples. I definitely recommend this place. Mark

I booked this cabin to take my sister away for her birthday. It was exactly what we wanted and needed. The beds were comfortable, I have nothing to complain about. This cabin was perfect. I even looked into the returning and renting the larger one for more family to come!

Clean and lovely decorated cabin

Cabin was very clean and nicely decorated. Loved all the small things in the cabin: qtips, nice plates and cups, and towels. Only complaint was the bed was super firm for our liking. I ended up sleeping on the couch. Otherwise we enioyed our stay.

Thank you for the wonderful review!! I am really sorry you found the mattress to be too firm. I tried to shop for the best in between comfort that would work best for anyone. Unfortunately it’s hard to find the perfect match for everyone! I’m sorry you had to sleep on the couch due to it. I may see about finding an extra padded mattress cover. Was it the mattress on the queen bed or the bunk beds?

Very clean and well-stocked with thoughtful necessities

We appreciated the cleanliness for a pet-friendly cabin. There were no odors or any evidence of pets. We appreciated the thoughtful ammenities (coffee, water in fridge,etc) and the well-cared for kitchenware. Our trip was cut short by storms and power was out, but with windows open, it was cool and comfy inside. Would stay again!

What a fine Wilderness Retreat!!

Looking for a country cabin getaway, we found this adorable cabin nestled on a gentle hillside amongst some nice trees. We found the inside to be as charming as the outside and we'll supplied with everything we needed and more! It was a relatively short way from the things we wanted to do. We loved the rain on the metal roof, coffee on the back porch,Also notable.. a fire pit and a grill out back. The owner was sweet. We look forward to returning!!

About the host

Hosted by Angela Jentho and Jamison Zimnoski

Host profile image
We are a couple from Texas, that wanted to find a wonderful piece of property to retire on and get out of the busy hustle and bustle of hectic high traffic town population where we live, and we absolutely love this small quaint town!!

Why they chose this property

We stayed in the Wilderness Retreat Cabin when we first bought our other property up here in Cadiz and we loved the property and cabins! We also became great friends with the previous owners! We love the small town it is great, peaceful and quiet! We found this town originally by fate and loved it from the absolute beginning!

What makes this property unique

Stunning views and gorgeous woodworking in a quiet wooded retreat.
