Nature's cabin
This was a lovely, wonderfully clean cabin with everything you could possibly need. The owners pride showed in ALL the extras. We enjoyed the hammock and all of the deer that we saw. It was a close drive to many sites/activities. We would definitely stay again.

Cute place
This was our first time in Shawnee. There are definitely a lot of trails. We ran out of time before trails. Suggest going to closer trails first. The home was clean and had most of what we needed. They were in the middle of getting wifi set up so that was a small bump in the road but we spent most of our time outdoors. Marion nearby had nice restaurants. The vault had amazing breakfast.

Perfectly Quaint Cabin
My husband and I loved our stay here. Clean, quiet, and just a short drive from the marina to launch our boat. Hosts were quick to respond to messages/ questions. We would definitely stay here again!
