Wonderful getaway
We loved this cute, cozy, comfy cabin. Just the right size for a couple - not too big, but not too small either. Very quiet location, wi-fi worked great, comfy bed, water temperature/pressure for the shower was perfect. The entire cabin was very clean. Loved the Americana decor and the small basket of snacks added a nice touch. Looking forward to staying again sometime.

Great little cabin
Scrupulous cleanliness, thick towels and toilet paper, a comfortable bed, Americana decor and a well equipped kitchen lent to a general air of welcome and comfort. We enjoyed the benefit of the kitchenette and grill, walked in the golf course and used the opportunity to see Giant City, the John A. Logan museum in Murphysburo and to lunch in Anna with our son. Steve, the cabin host, was very easy to communicate with as well.

A great spot for Dirty South Roubaix racers!
Just 15mins from Alto Pass was perfect. We had a cozy stay in the Merica themed cabin, quiet, clean & pet friendly. Great communication from the host made our stay easy & stress free.

Just Right
The cabin was nice. It had enough room for me to relax in after a day with family or in Shawnee National Forest. The area felt very safe and there was no ouside noise. I will stay there again.

Nice place
A very nice cabin. Quiet, clean, nicely furnished, convenient access to Carbondale. In Cabin#6, nice morning sun through windows. Everything worked well. Bed was very comfortable, didn't take very long for hot water to come out of faucet shower (very nice during this colder time of year). The basket of snacks was a nice unexpected surprise. Tap water tasted great.

Umpire camp
This was a great isolated spot to stay during our three day camp. Its close to most places I needed to be but away from the busy traffic. The cabin is very nice and well kept. I didn’t realize there isn’t an electric oven until I arrived. I learned to cook bacon and eggs in a microwave. :). They have a nice gas grill on the balcony. They put a lot of work into making this a great place to stay. Right down to the Citronella candle on the outdoor table. I will return next year. The price is much kore reasonable compared to a motel. Thank you for a great experience!
