Log cabin on 25 acres

We are located minutes from LaSalle Lake State Fish and Wildlife Area, Marseilles State Fish and Wildlife Area, as well as many state parks - Illini, Starved Rock, Matthiessen, and Buffalo Rock State Parks. Our one of a kind log cabin is a comfortable and cozy getaway for romantics or solitude seekers. However, if you are looking for a home away from home large enough for a family reunion or a business retreat, we can accommodate you. Two queen-size beds with cozy quilts, 2 twin beds and a futon will sleep seven. The wood-burning stove and a fully-equipped kitchen with microwave are just some of the many amenities, not to mention the free coffee and popcorn. The cabin has air conditioning, central heating and is non-smoking inside.

Privacy and comfort are the key aspects to this unique property. There is no Wifi and cell phone reception is very limited but functional outside the cabin. The beauty and serenity of our log cabin with cathedral ceilings, wood stove and immense decking is unsurpassed. We offer a fully furnished kitchen, 2 twin beds in one room, queen beds in each of the remaining 2 bedrooms. The loft area has folding bed that can sleep one adult or child. The cabin is literally surrounded by wood decks and acres of trees. Don't get lost in the 25 acre back yard!

Very clean, neat and organized. Never seen so many rugs in one house. All standard amenities are there, nothing was broken or unusable. Very secluded, not easy to find via google maps. Only Internet access was outside in certain areas. Nice choices of movies and games. This time of year was perfect, no furnace or a/c was used. Wife enjoyed it as our second honeymoon after 25 years!

Perfect quiet weekend getaway

This property was admittedly large for our needs, but everything else in the area was booked up, so we splurged. And we are glad that we did! It was exactly as described: remote, woodsy, and quiet. Just what we needed. The woodburning stove was the cherry on the top! Instructions for its use were clear and concise, right down to the sound of that the flue makes when opening. It was details like this that made our stay special.

Great Spot in the Woods

I stayed here with a small group of friends and it was the perfect spot for us. We enjoyed being outside on the expansive deck and were even able to enjoy a rainstorm on the covered front porch. A short walk into the woods provided the adventure of exploring while still being able to see the cabin. We talked about coming back again even while we were there. In all, a great vacation location.

perfect getaway

Great place to stay when you need a getaway in nature. beautiful property with a space to do some exploring out back, has all the amenities you need in the kitchen, laundry, and hangout spaces. short drive to town to get supplies if needed, but we just brought everything with us and hunkered down for a gaming/hiking weekend. The owner was communicative and thoughtful as well. Highly recommend!

Great Brothers Weekend

This property was actually better than I was expecting. Let me explain. This property had everything that you would need in case you forgot something. It was absolutely perfect for our group. We had a great time and plenty of room. We spent hours on the front porch alone, talking drinking a cold one and reminiscing. Thank you, Mr. Morentin,

Yes when I first arrived I was like wow that is a lot of wood. Definitely very spacious and plenty of room for activities. I was amazed by the presence of the home. Love it. Very quiet outside and plenty of seating for all views around the home. Overall very pleased with the place.

Cabin getaway

This is our second time staying here. The cabin is a 25 minute drive from Starved Rock and Matheissien Park, but has the great amenities of home. The owner supplies everything for a comfortable stay: bedding, pillows, blankets, towels, kitchen cooking wares, utensils, paper goods ( including toilet paper, paper towels, paper plates, and plastic ware), a charcoal grill, a large TV with DVD players, and tons of DVDS to borrow. It has AC, which was key, because it was in the 90’s for our stay. They also offer a fire pit. My only complaint…there was no firewood. If you are looking for a family friendly cabin, close to Starved Rock…this is it.

Peaceful remote cabin set in the woods

Four girlfriends from high school in our 50's met here for a fun get together. We hiked in the area, ate, drank and shopped. The cabin was a perfect ending to our day! We will be back! There is nothing we can recommend to make it better! Thank you Shelby ❤️ And...thanks for being understanding when we checked out and one of us locked her keys in her trunk and we had to come back later for her car! That was an unexpected ending to our trip, but it allowed us to have breakfast in town while waiting on her husband to arrive with the spare key 😀 We cant thank you enough for being patient!

Amazing Cabin (Military Group)

Every year, we have a group of military guys that reconnect. This cabin has been where we have gathered for the past several years, and the property is amazing! It gives us plenty of room for fun around the fire pit, grilling int he driveway, or watching movies in the living room! We love this property!

This was the perfect place for me to get away from the city and enjoy nature. The cabin itself is charming, spacious, and well kept. The owner was very responsive to my questions. And the wooded property is serene and full of wildlife. Exactly what I needed! Thank you!
