This cabin was perfect! The location was spectacular, and the cabin had everything you could want. The host was by far the best I have ever worked with. Very pleasant and accommodating. I will book with them again!
The cabin was just described with lots of privacy. There were many extra special touches such as the hammock, sky saucer for the kids, grill, patio area, smores, commercial grade waffle maker, and corn to feed the deer. We did not actually see the deer but we heard them eating at night. One bathroom was awkward but we made it just fine. Lots of pillows and blankets for extra comfort. We would recommend this cabin to anyone.
We absolutely loved the place! It was cute, clean and secluded. The property owner was very courteous, attentive to our needs and respectful of our privacy. It was amazing to watch deer eat in the front yard and the family loved going to the Natural Fall state park to see the waterfalls. Can’t wait to go back and try another of Arthur’s cabins. OK
BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY WITH OUTSTANDING ACCOMMODATIONS. ME AND MY FAMILY ENJOYED THE EXPERIENCE IMMENSELY. IT SEEMED EVERYTHING WE FORGOT WAS ALREADY THERE AND READY FOR USE SUCH AS: HOOKS AND BAIT, COFFEE, S'MORES, PROPANE, BABY GATE, FIRE STARTERS AND EVEN CORN TO BRING IN THE DEER. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS STAY. THE CABIN WAS NICELY DECORATED IN EVERY AREA WITH SCRIPTURE AND POSITIVITY ❤️
We wanted a weekend getaway so we could spend time together away from the hustle & bustle of life. The location was ideal for kayaking on the river and evenings spent together around the fire pit. Saw lots of deer in the yard and enjoyed the sounds of nature. House is clean and well furnished. Hosts communicated with us and offered to remedy any issues we may have had. Highly recommend this location!
We were near the end of a long and arduous process of selling our home in TX and buying a new home in OK. We needed a place to stay for 2 weeks and thankfully found this cabin. The cabin itself is gorgeous and the surroundings so beautiful and peaceful. The stress melted away and our family was rejuvenated. Our pets absolutely loved the cabin too.Arthur kept in communication with us to make sure that we were doing well and had everything we needed. He even let us know when a tornado watch had been issued for the area (thankfully, no tornadoes spotted).Even though we now live close by, my husband and I have discussed coming back to the cabin again sometime, just because it’s such a haven.Oh, and the beds were very comfortable as well..

Photos are deceiving, furniture very well worn and not in a good way. We are older and we’re looking for comfortable. We only sat on the front porch bench. I did have to sweep it up. It’s the little things. Make it inviting. We didn’t feel this was that place. The plus was that it welcomed dogs. Kitchen could use some new skillets and utensils. Less clutter and less nicnacs. I could go on but will keep it short. Location was very nice. Sad I just seemed a bit dumpy. I would not stay here again.
Our stay was absolutely amazing and very grateful for all the amenities and information binder. Property is surrounded buy the beauties of nature and my personal favorites the rivers it was magical and fun! Will definitely book again.
Nice private area went to river area nice to relax not busy.everything was nice
Great place

This is a sweet little cabin. Check in was easy and Arthur is very good at getting back with any questions. We had a good time here. The stream is perfect for children playing in. And it is close to the Illinois River.
The cabin was perfect for my birthday weekend getaway, the smores were great! Nice and peaceful, I love that the community is protected with gate keepers. The 2 lakes are nice for kayaking, everything you need is within 10 miles. Arthur communicated with us throughout our stay, he made sure everything was good.
Love the property and the house. Nicely stocked and clean. We have stayed in another of their properties and were very happy. Host is aways very communicative. Would definitely stay again.
This cozy cabin is tucked away in a forest oasis. It is clean and adorable. The fire pit in the backyard is private and inviting. You will not regret a stay here!
Serene, peaceful and very much off the beaten path. Best lodging of our cross country trip! Arthur is just about the nicest guy you could ever hope to have as a host and we will definitely be back!
