Cute little cabin with a great view of Carbon Lake! Secluded feeling while only minutes from SIU and yummy restaurants. Check out Blend Tea and Crepe Lounge if you are headed in that direction! Host was quick to respond whenever contacted. Can't wait to book another stay when we visit our college student next! Thanks Jocelynne!!

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
The cabin was exceptionally clean with numerous small but thoughtful touches. The 2 chairs on the deck are very comfortable! Our only suggestion is sonething in the upstairs bedroom for luggage. We had a large cooler and ended up putting our suitcase on that.
Amazing opportunity to relax in a clean, quiet private wooded setting on Carbon Lake. Everything you need is provided by this thoughtful owner. 2 spacious BRs w/att BA. Comfy beds, hot showers w/ great water pressure. All the comforts of home!

Peaceful setting, comfy furniture in living room along with big soft blankets. Plenty of room. Outdoor spaces to sit. Overall a great place to stay. We would definitely rent again.

The host quickly answered all my questions. We especially enjoyed the quiet location, view if the lake, and the fire pit.
Absolutely amazingly soft towels and other linens. Beds were super comfortable. It worked great for us for the kids to have their own room downstairs.Best thing was the hosts have a book with all the restaurants and other attractions nearby. It was super helpful as we were looking at several u-pick flowers places and one was right nearby.The location was great for us. It was nice being in Murphysboro close to grocery stores, etc. However, there are neighbors. The location was not as remote or as central to Shawnee NF as some would like. We really liked the location. It is in Murphysboro, so close to grocery stor
The cabin was awesome. The hosts are very attentative and are there if you need anything. Local people are all very nice also. Definately recommend this to anyone.
