Makanda house rentals

Had an amazing stay!

We found this was at a great location to experience the Shawnee Wine Trail. The cabins are new and clean and were well thought out.

We had a fantastic stay at this perfect getaway cabin! It was calm, peaceful, clean, organized, and just downright beautiful! We had the best weekend recouping and relaxing and having fun. We hiked and then relaxed in the hot tub, we drank warm tea and played scrabble, and made a fantastic dinner and ate near the fireplace. We felt calm and content surrounded by nature.

This place was so peaceful. Felt like a good break from the every day chaos. It is secluded and has acres of trees. It was fun to explore the property. The family made good use of the espresso, firepit, and the back deck. The nighttime ambience is relaxing. Nightsky in Pomona is pristine and free of light pollution. There was a lot of cool stuff to go see nearby. We checked out Pomona Natural bridge, Bald Knob Cross of Peace, a local orchard, Von Jakob Winery, and Giant City State Park. There are things we want to come back and check out (couple of the other wineries and the little grand canyon). The host was great! He took good care of us, communicated well, and even allowed us to meet his amazing four-legged friend. Apollo is a good boy. I'm excited about booking the next trip here!

We opened the cabin door and we all said wow! We’ve rented many units in the past but this tops all of them. You have made sure that all details are taken care of. This cabin was more than we expected. The hot tub was amazing. The winery is close by and Giant City Stables isn’t far away if you’d like a trail ride. We totally enjoyed our stay. We plan on coming back. We left your beautiful cabin as we found it so it can be enjoyed by others. Thank you for such an amazing cabin in the woods.

Very please and enjoyed our stay. I highly recommend the place. I will make a suggestion for the cleaner. My wife has a skin sensitivity and we have come accustom to using only soaps that have no smell. The bed linens and bath towels were washed with a scented detergent and for us was a bit too much. Other than that a great experience. Thank you for making a great place to get away.

Our stay was exactly what we wanted. We relaxed in the hot tub and by the fire. This is a great place to unplug and refuel your mind and body. The cabin is nice and cozy and very clean. The kitchen has all you need to cook meals and we used the grill as well. We highly recommend this property. This was our second stay in this cabin and we are already planning on returning next year.

The location of this cabin was perfect for all the Southern Illinois excursions we wanted to take, each being within a 30-minute drive or less. I was excited about the soaking tub which I took full advantage of after cruising the wine trails and hiking. We also enjoyed our evening on the deck. Easy check-in, check-out. No crazy rules or expectations. Perfect location for us.
