Makanda pet-friendly rentals

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!

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.
