About this property
Relaxing Unique Cave Creek Cabin 2 in Shawnee near Alto Pass and Bald Knob Cross
Cave Creek is a peaceful little stream running through our wooded property. Sit at the drink rail on the upper deck and let the relaxing sounds of the creek ease your cares away.
Conveniently located on the western edge of the Shawnee Wine Trail, our cabin is close to the many activities, wineries, breweries or restaurants the region has to offer. Enjoy the orchard blooms in the spring and in summer and fall, the bountiful harvest is available at the orchard stores. Our cabin offers the perfect accommodations for a family reunion, pre-wedding event, wedding weekend or a quite, relaxing getaway with friends.
Beautiful artisan crafted wood features and furniture made from reclaimed wood throughout make the cabin unique. The comfort of our guests is foremost in our minds. The cabin is multi level with two large covered decks overlooking Cave Creek so you can enjoy relaxing outdoors even on a rainy day. A spacious 1500 sq ft, the cabin can sleep up to 8 guests, has a full kitchen stocked with cookware and dinnerware. The kitchen, dining area for 8, and living area with gas fireplace, recliner and HD-TV are located on the entry level. A bedroom, with very comfortable queen bed, a full bath and a sleeper sofa are located on each level.
The large family area, featuring board games and game table, satellite, HD-TV, DVD/CD player are located on the lower level. With a bedroom and full bath on each level, our cabins are perfect for multi couples or families. Our showers have great water pressure, too!
Luxurious linens and bath towels provided. Soap, shampoo, paper products and some cleaning supplies available. Large vanities in the bath and hair dryers for our guest's needs.
A dusk to dawn security light illuminates the parking area and cabin entry. A fire pit and grilling area (charcoal grill) are located on the creek side of the cabin. Relax around a crackling fire, take a leisurely walk on the quite lane or have a seat on the covered decks listening to the creek as it passes by.
Just north of Alto Pass, off Highway 127 on a quiet country lane, our property is located in the midst of orchard property making it a tranquil setting. There's tons of great hiking trails or good fishing nearby. You can take a pottery class, zip line through the Shawnee canopy, learn to repel at the state park or you could just relax while sipping some locally crafted wine or brews. Take a short drive to the Bald Knob Cross of Peace, located on the most prominent elevation in So. Illinois, for a multi state view or unforgettable sunrise.

Creekside Cabin
Wonderful cabin nestled in the woods. Great for families or groups. Close to many Southern IL attractions- hiking trails, lakes, orchards, wineries and dining. We loved this place and plan to come back again.
Gorgeous cabin. Really enjoyed the decks and watching the leaves fall and hearing the peaceful sound of the creek. Two story cabin with living areas on both floors is great when staying with friends!

Great Place for a friends weekend
These cabins were the perfect setting for our friends weekend. Wineries and restaurants close by, we enjoyed the fire pit area, and we had room to stretch out and feel at home. This has become an annual tradition of ours, and I foresee us staying here for years to come.
Our 5th year and a family tradition that we look forward to every year. Beautiful cabin, close to great hiking, and super clean with all the amenities for home away from home. Thank you as always for a great stay!

Cozy and with everything we needed
We booked both cabins for a friends getaway. The generous accommodations had plenty of room for everyone to have enough space, enjoy their quiet, and spend time together. The location is convenient to the outdoor activities we had planned for and plenty of restaurants. We will definitely be back!

Great Cabin
Enjoyed our stay at Cave Creek cabin. Clean and comfortable, plenty of space for a family getaway. They really thought of everything as far as stocking the cabin with amenities. The towels were so soft. Never ran out of hot water with all family taking showers. We will definitely stay there again.

It was wonderful
My sister and I had a "sister's weekend" and it was wonderful. The hiking and breweries were fun. The cabin really made the trip great. It was so comfortable and had everything we needed to have a perfect weekend. Sitting out on the deck after an activity filled day. Thanks

Always great
This was our third time staying at Cave Creek Cabins and it's always great! The cabins are very well equipped with everything one needs for a relaxing weekend. Even the little touches, such as plenty of coat hooks and extra towels just makes things easy. We had a group of friends that included teenage boys and everyone had a wonderful time. Highly recommended to anyone looking to stay in this area.
This is our second time at the cabin and another great time! Brought family this time, so four adults, and there was plenty of space. Nice added touches you do not usually get in a rental (plush towels, fully stocked kitchen with any gadget you need, outdoor grill and firepit area, and much more). Cabin set up is great, as it provides some privacy having each bedroom on separate floors. Perfect for two couples, if you are looking for a place. Also, very centrally located to the wineries, which is what we were there for. :)

Comfy cabin, everything we need
This was our second time booking out both cabins for a friends weekend. The cabin was just as comfortable and intuitive to stay in as last year, and it was so nice to return somewhere and feel like we knew the layout!
Amazing cabin nestled in the woods but close to everything!
We very much enjoyed our weekend stay at this amazing cabin! The hosts thought of every detail. Be ready for a stress free, relaxing stay!

Great cabin!
This was our 4th trip to Cave Creek Cabins and we love it! It’s always so clean with all the best amenities! The absolute best towels! We hiked and enjoyed nature and even walked Snake Road on this visit - wow! We will return!
