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.

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
