An Excellent Choice!
I received immediate feedback from the host with all the necessary information. Mr. Young also made it clear he would be available to provide additional assistance if needed. And he was! We were all impressed with the cleanliness of the property and the nice little extra touches like a very well stocked snack basket and excellent coffee. The location is ideal. It is off the beaten track, but with easy access to many choice locations in Southern Illinois. With several cabins close by, it would work well for a multi-family gathering. All in all, an excellent choice!

Stay at Cabin #2
I had a wonderful stay at cabin #2! Everything was very clean and comfortable. The location was close to hiking trails, which I love and also close to town for convenience. Steve was a great host and replied very quickly when I had questions. Would definitely recommend and hope to return.

Quaint cabin
Quiet! Clean! Soft, fluffy towels and plenty of them! Had everything we needed while in town visiting family. Thermostat was set between 75-78 and we couldn't change it. But the ceiling fan in the bedroom kept me cool enough. If you are picky about pillows I'd bring your own bc the ones at the cabin were kinda flat. Couch wasn't super comfy but the recliner was decent. Has satellite TV but not a lot of channels so bring your laptop or switch to stay entertained. No hairdryer that I could find. Overall recommend staying here!
