Very nice, clean cabin. Fantastic outdoor space, very nice deck overlooking pond.
Centrally located between east and west ends of Shawnee National Forest. Very convenient for our extended weekend trip.
We will certainly book again when we return to the area!

The purple door is now where we’ll be staying from now on when visiting southern Illinois. What a cute quiet place and such friendly and helpful owners. Has everything you need and then some.
We generally enjoyed our stay. We had to purchase a bedspread for the Murphy bed and there was a little cleaning issue but it's a beautiful property and location.
It was amazing. So glad i booked it. We wanted a place close to the marina for fishing. Couldn't have gotten much closer! It was well decorated an comfy, had all we needed! Icing on top was the purple door! Totally recommend! Allison an her property manager were great!
This cabin was just perfect for us two senior citzens and our dog. The location worked out well for us to explore Shawnee National Park. We are photographers there to find the perfect fall color. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck looking over the pond watching the deer and chickens. The cabin was clean and spacious, had everything we needed. The only thing we would change would be to have a walk in shower rather than the deep bathtub. Since the weather was so beautiful we had a fire in the firepit one evening and enjoyed visiting with the owners when they stopped by. We would definitely stay there again and would highly recommend it to others.
Very cute little cabin. It had everything we needed for our stay, and was very clean and well-maintained. The owner was very helpful and quickly responsive. The outdoor area was very appealing, but due to lots of rain, we were unable to enjoy the nice porch and firepit area. I highly recommend. We definitely would love to come back.
This place was so charming. Everything was set up for us and although it was aShort stay, my granddaughter and I enjoyed it so much! It was clean and had everything we needed to enjoy! Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful property. It was so cozy and inviting, with great scenery. I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a spot to stay around this area. Check in was easy and the communications were great. The cabin was clean and super inviting as well

A fantastic week in Southern Illinois
What a great property. Quiet, beautiful and relaxing. The cabin is perfect—homey and comfortable. We will be making a return visit and would encourage anyone to give this property a try (we’ve stayed at another of SIVRs properties and know that they are attentive to small details and problems of any size, regardless of which property you may choose). Oh, and let’s not forget about Kevin, who might be the sweetest dog we’ve ever met. He and our Weimaraner, Leo, had the biggest time all week. Kevin deserves a separate 5-star rating!
This was the perfect place for me to stay while visiting southern Illinois. The cabin is located in a private area, but it's just a quick drive to Marion, which allows for numerous food, drinks, and fun. I loved the decor and atmosphere of the cabin - it also provided all of the things needed to cook meals, etc. I'd recommend this property to anyone!
Great tiny cabin within a few minute drive to the lake. Well appointed, modern, and clean. We enjoyed the covered back porch on the pond - perfect for evening cookouts. Check in and out was a breeze. Highly recommend and will definitely stay here again
