Great little spot!
This cabin was just perfect for us two senior citzens and our dog. The location worked out well for us to explore Shawnee National Park. We are photographers there to find the perfect fall color. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck looking over the pond watching the deer and chickens. The cabin was clean and spacious, had everything we needed. The only thing we would change would be to have a walk in shower rather than the deep bathtub. Since the weather was so beautiful we had a fire in the firepit one evening and enjoyed visiting with the owners when they stopped by. We would definitely stay there again and would highly recommend it to others.

Great tiny cabin within a few minute drive to the lake. Well appointed, modern, and clean. We enjoyed the covered back porch on the pond - perfect for evening cookouts. Check in and out was a breeze. Highly recommend and will definitely stay here again

Owners left town and chaos ensued
The owners left town for the weekend & we soon discovered why. On Saturday night, there was a loud concert until 1am. Shortly after Woodstock started, we lost power & had no idea what happened. We texted the owner, someone else had the business phone and couldn't help us except to say the owner left. Wow. Eventually the power came back on but the concert went on & on. We thought it might end at 11pm & we could get some sleep but it went until 1am on Sunday. If we had been honestly told about Woodstock taking place, we might have gone to the show or booked someplace else. This felt like a clear deception. After the power came back on, we still had no wifi & the person with the phone could not give us instructions as to what to do. Sunday morning, still no wifi so we cut our stay short and left to get connected to work. The property itself was small & you were basically restricted to your cabin so having no electric & then no wifi was an obvious problem. There were no instructions in the cabin of any kind & the website didn't explain if there was a way we could have gone over to the owner's house to reset the wifi feed somehow by ourselves. The owner never phoned us & apologized, so this was completely mishandled unfortunately. Lastly, there were cleaning issues, wasps everywhere & bullfrogs made noise all day/night. Forget about sleeping. We liked Ferne Clyffe State Park and recommend that and the Vault restaurant in Marion.

A great long weekend
The place is exactly as listed and the owners were very responsive to any question or need we had on the trip. It was very clean, organized, and had all the essentials things that we needed. The cabin is very close to several great hiking areas as well as a few grocery shops and multiple restaurants. We loved staying in this cabin and we will definitely come back again.

Burnt-Out Mom needed break
This was exactly what I needed. I wanted to get away for a few days but could never coordinate with my kids sports/school schedule. Got away on my own/ this cabin was perfect for one person. (Or a couple with small kids) the owner really has a knock for decorating, lighting, and thinking if everything. Pots, pans, utensils, soap, charcoal, lighter, firewood, spices, washer/dryer all provided. Centrally located to everything you want to see in southern illinois. Even if shawnee forest is 45 minutes fro here, it was a Beautiful therapeutic drive.

Weekend Getaway
My children and I needed to get away and spend some time together. Ages 15, 14 and two 7 year olds and all had a wonderful time. We spent time paddle boarding and enjoying the peaceful view, we hiked to some waterfalls and napped. It was a lovely weekend and the cabin was beautiful, the kids begged to stay here again!

A Lovely Surprise, A Comfortable Stay
Just off I 55, these great little cabins exist with a little pond and nature all around. We were just looking for a place to stay, with our dog on the way south for Christmas. We didn’t want to stay in a hotel for fear that he might bark at unusual sounds. We found this cute Purple Door cabin. Everything was spotless and clean. All the fixtures, furniture, deck and flooring were new. There was a queen size bed, but also a Murphy bed and a couch. It was cozy and warm and very comfortable. We really wished we could’ve stayed a couple of days and will definitely consider stopping here again when in less of a hurry.
