We traveled to the SIU area for our daughter's graduation, we could not have been more satisfied with our choice for accommodations. The rental exceeded our expectations, it was very nice, clean and comfortable. The location was fantastic, located in the wine trail area. The town of Makanda is very close and has some really cool little shops worth visiting. Very nice weekend trip!!!

Thank you Brian for your kind review. It was our absolute pleasure to host you at Shawnee Hills Hideaway and we hope to see you for future southern Illinois travels. Hope you enjoyed some ice cream while in Makanda. Their mint chocolate chip is the best.

Clean, almost new, secluded and private (other than the other attached unit). Good communication from the host. It was a very pleasant stay and close to all the Shawnee has to offer. Would definitely stay here again.
