Just as adorable as the photos look. Was a great place to recoup after a long hike, wish we went in the summer when the catfish kitchen around the corner was serving!
Husband and I stayed here while exploring southeastern Illinois. It was the perfect location for visits to Garden of the Gods and Cave-in-Rock. Everything was comfortable. Nice to have the E-Town restaurant and E-Town Tap so close. The only suggestion I have is to install a floor length mirror somewhere for fit check. 10/10 would definitely stay here again!
We met in the middle of TN, IN, and MO for a girl's weekend—very clean, very responsive owner. It was very close to the river and had everything we needed.
The house was wonderful and well stocked. It was clean and comfortable. The area was perfect distance to get to Cave Rock and Garden of the Gods. Would stay again in a heartbeat.
We really loved our stay here. The river was right by us and we could take a nice little walk to it. Loved the original pictures of the building and it was all we needed!
Wonderful rehabbed property in a neat, tiny town. Very clean and updated. Close to garden of the gods hiking. No restaurants or groceries very close though.
Great place to stay and experience a quaint, IL town
We enjoyed this tiny house during our stay. It’s clean, dog-friendly with a fenced patio and within a 20-30 minute drive to the surrounding popular hiking and nature sight-seeing spots. The town itself is very small and you’ll need to drive a little ways for restaurants and groceries. The mercantile shop directly next door is very cute and a great spot to get coffee, Ice cream and local goods. Would recommend for a family of four (like us) or smaller.
Description doesn’t do this property justice. This is an absolute gem. Well cared for with every convenience thought of. Definitely my first choice when back in the area
Great communication with host, super accommodating, clean and new. Would 100% recommend to anyone.

Cute little two room house. There's an ice cream shop on the corner and a bar across the street from that.
An excellent place to start your southern Illinois trip.
The "tiny home" is not so tiny, very well restored, well furnished and so quiet. Excellent communication with the host, extremely responsive and friendly.. The area has a lot to offer. We certainly will come back.
We visited Gardens of the Gods and Cave in the Rock, both places we loved. The rental property was near both parks. The house was just what we wanted. It had everything we needed. There were limited restaurants but we enjoyed cooking at home and then sit by the fire pit afterwards. Would rent this place again if we find ourselves in that area.
This a great place to stay and I already want to go back. Quiet and private with beautiful view of and easy walk to the Ohio River. There is a nice coffee shop next door. Good experience with host. All rentals should be like this one!
Our experience was great! The home was beautiful and perfectly located for peace and quiet. The host was amazing to work with. I couldn't have asked for better communication. If you stay in this house, make sure you visit the ice cream shop next door for cool stuff and the best ice cream around!
This little house was very nicely remolded along the Ohio River. The rustic industrial decor was awesome. Perfect for a little get away. It was close to the Garden of the Gods for some hiking. The E-Town bar was across the street and had a band playing Saturday night. We ate at a hole in the wall restaurant called Shotgun Eddys that we enjoyed.
This is a well done refurbished business turned into a great one bedroom home with a fenced in back yard. Look out the window and see the Ohio River. Close to many Shawnee Forest sites.
Loved it for our anniversary!! We would go back. you must get meat and ice cream, as well as shop at the mercantile. It's great!! Avoid floating fish joints though...NOT good!!
This little house has everything one would need. The bed was amazingly comfortable. The fried catfish on the river was excellent but is closed the first part of the week. We cooked meat purchased from the little store next door one night and it was delicious. Very high quality. We were hiking some of the paths in Shawnee and enjoyed our stay. We can’t wait to come back.
