So beautiful and intentional - great weekend getaway

We absolutely loved our stay at the cabin! It was my husband and pup and we were immediately welcomed by a wildflower bouquet on the porch and a trail right off the entrance. The cabin was extremely comfortable and the design was intentional to let you unwind and focus on nature around you. We hope to come back soon!

Great cabin; clean, and cozy and private. The hot tub and fire pit were used daily. There are trails on the property. We went to Giant Park which is close; don’t miss the fried chicken at the lodge. We drove about 1.5 hours hike the observation trail at Garden of Gods; well worth the drive! Carbondale is a short drive; great time chilling at cabin !!

Amazing cabin on beautiful grounds

My wife and I stayed 3 nights with our two dogs. The cabin was extremely clean and everything was as described. The hot tub was great and worked well. Walking the trails on the property was one of our favorite things to do with our dogs every morning and evening. The cabin felt very private, but was only a short drive away from restaurants and groceries. The cabin is also close to several small towns to explore, and many hiking trails are nearby. We loved our stay and will be back.

Peaceful

We had a great time, everything was as listed in our booking. There was plenty of outdoor area for our 9 month pitbull to run around and explore. Early morning we looked outside to see deers roaming the property, it was amazing. Will be returning soon for a longer stay!

Incredible getaway!

This cabin is impeccable. Everything is extremely cozy, clean and beautiful! The location is also amazing - so many trails and nature nearby. You just feel an enormous sense of peace and calmness all around you. My husband and I came with our dog Luna to the area for the first time. We can’t wait to come back and, when we do, we’ll 100% stay here again. Communication and information was also great and super organized. Highly recommend!!!
