Fun Family Getaway

We loved staying at the cabin on the creek! The creek itself provided tons of entertainment for our almost 3-year-old. Lots of hiking and outdoor entertainment nearby. The host was a fantastic communicator leading up to and on the trip dates. The outdoor spaces at the property are nice little escapes from the city! Great stay, would recommend!

Great Stay!

We had a great time at this little cabin. Just a few feet away from a portion of the River to River Trail. We hiked 2 of the days we were there, enjoyed the wineries with live music, and great atmosphere. Enjoyed a campfire every night along with the hot tub. We will be back!

The property was very clean and located in a wuiet surrounding. Beautiful back drop behind the cabin. Sleeping arrangements were comfortable. It was centrally located to a lake, trails, bourbon bar and wineries. The property manager was friendly and made great suggestions for the activities we were wanting to do.

Amazing cabin in middle of wine country

This cabin is located so close to all the wineries in the wine trail. We had easy access to Alto Pass, Star view, Owl Creek, and so many more! The hot tub was a great way to unwind at the end of the day. And the owner was very great about communicating and following up. Would 500% recommend this place to anyone looking to take in the Shawnee state parks or South Illinois wine trail.

BEAUTIFUL PLACE

My husband and I wanted a getaway just the 2 of us for our anniversary, and this was perfect! The only suggestion I would have is to include a booklet type thing with instructions on how to work things (hot tub, tv, lights outside, etc). I would highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a private getaway!

Wine Trail Get Away

Good get away to visit the wine trail. Close to many wineries but far enough away to feel away from others. The cabin was basic, but nice. It was what we were looking for because we didn’t want to stay long. Water pressure was good (many reviews complained about water pressure, but it was fixed before our visit). There were actually two bathrooms with two standup showers.

A very pretty area

This is a beautiful piece of property with a very basic cabin. The owner was attentive and checked in on us. Overall our stay was nice and comfortable. The bed was comfortable which is a big plus. We enjoyed our time here. The only complaint I would have is a lack of water pressure. The cabin could use a water pressure tank. That would have made a huge difference. All in all, a pretty nice VRBO property.

A New Experience

For our time spent there , it was perfect! The right size for a romantic getaway. Felt very private and intimate. Beautiful view of a creek and the woods surrounding! There were only two of us, but it was nice having two bathrooms and showers. Reception was still a struggle and dimmers on bedroom’s light as well as kitchen’s lights would be a welcome atmosphere. Would love to make it back again!!!

Great Location

House was nice. Location was perfect for the many hiking trails we visited. In the woods just off the road. No neighbors to be seen from the deck area. Host was the most responsive host we have ever had. Great stay. Kitchen was well stocked. Loved the wooden clue/monopoly game. Bed was comfortable. The house is on well water so i would suggest bringing bottled water. The fire pit area looked nice but we didnt use it this stay.
