Cute cabin, tucked back in the woods. There are out buildings nearby but no cabins nearby. Lots of cool artwork and a beautiful stone fireplace. Host checks in to see how you’re doing. Great AC!

Little cabin with all you need.

The cabin was nice, exactly as pictured. It was a great location to go into Carbondale to eat, down the road to hike Giant City, or drive 30 minutes to several hikes or wine tasting in the area. We appreciated the friendly host and well equipped cabin.

Quaint little cabin in the woods!

We were only in town for a short time attending an event in Makanda. We decided to stay at the cabin on the hill and were not disappointed! Tom is a fantastic host with great communication. It was everything we expected and we would highly recommend to anyone.

Third time renting a cabin from Tom and we had a fantastic stay. Owner was a hoot and easy to get ahold of, cabin/s were clean and cozy, close to state parks and other nice stops. We’ve been three times and will happily come back!
