My husband and I needed to disconnect from our busy lives. Coming down to the Shawnee area turned out to be the best choice, and this cabin played a large part in that! On the exterior, the cabin is well-seasoned now, showing a history of nature rightfully integrating into the wood. The interior is as cozy as it looks! It's an intimate space with excellent air circulation, fantastic water supply, and plenty of privacy. We came with our dog Mack, who's been lacking adventures lately ever since he was diagnosed with epilepsy. The road trip to this cabin was a big test for us, as we had never travelled this far with our dog before (6 hours). We're happy to report that the road trip was a success! Mack found the most comfort in the living room, where he had plenty of room on the floor to sprawl out and make rotations when he snoozed. We especially love the view behind the cabin - wide, open fields where we saw an abundance of life: cows far out in the pasture, deer grazing just beyond the property, birds-a-plenty (some we're not used to seeing), and even a healthy, large fox travelling across the property. The property owner, Steve, was an excellent host! He is sincere and so responsive. We appreciated the attention to detail as he messaged us when we first booked, and throughout our stay he was so quick to reply to any questions or updates we had. We will absolutely be back and can't wait to explore more of what this area has to offer!

The Tool Shed is a creatine remake of a house that is transformed into a double suite for couples or families with a common central area. Think queen bed, your own bathroom and your own sitting area with TV, then switched to a mirror image on the other side of the house for the second suite. Kitchen and common family room divide the two. Lovely deck and views. Ice appliances but the outdoor grill needs some serious maintenance. You are next door to another close house, but still have fairly complete privacy. The pictures are accurate and I cannot emphasize enough how clean this property is. The host is very responsive and fun. Highly recommend!

I love the layout and the view. Great for two couples. There is a sulfur smell, probably from the well water, and the place could have used a sweet and dusting to get out cobwebs and dead bugs, but otherwise it was nice.

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week stay at this beautiful cabin. The location is quite remote, but all services are available 20 minutes away. I would definitely stay at this property again.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming cabin in southern Illinois! The property was spotless, well-equipped, and in a serene location—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The cozy interior and stunning outdoor views made our time here unforgettable.
A special shoutout to Steve, the owner, who went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. His communication was prompt and friendly, and he provided excellent recommendations for local attractions and dining. Even after we left, Steve followed up to address suggestions we offered to improve the cabin, showing how much he genuinely cares about his guests' experiences.
The location couldn’t have been better—it is close to the Southern Illinois Wine Trail, which has 11 fantastic wineries and two amazing parks: Ferne Clyffe State Park and Giant City State Park. Both parks offer incredible hiking trails and breathtaking scenery, adding many adventures to our trip.
If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with outstanding hospitality and plenty to explore nearby, this is the place to stay. We can’t wait to return and highly recommend it to anyone planning a getaway!

Great cabin. Clean comfortable spacious well stocked. One minor appliance wasn’t working, text to manager — and it was replaced before we got back from our day activities! Short drive to Garden of the Gods, lake, etc.

My husband and I along with our sweet great Pyrenees Zoey At the perfect little weekend getaway here! The cabin is adorable and very clean. We love sitting outside on the back deck and we were able to visit most of the wineries in the area. Recommend this place 10 out of 10.

Nice clean cabin with a nice deck that is close to all the wineries. Easy to get to from the interstate.
Also right across the street is an alpaca farm and you can feed them. So cute!

The cabin was pretty nice. Kitchen cabinet doors were missing, living room shade falling down and garbage dumpster overloaded and smelling horrible in this July heat.

Everything is provided, bring yourself and some groceries and that's it!. The cabin and property were better than advertised! Very peaceful setting and close to most things that you'll want to visit. Steve (our host) was most accommodating and very easy to do business with. You won't regret staying here.

We were scheduled to stay Thurs - Sunday. All was great until Friday evening as we settled in for the night to watch a movie when a man walked in the front door that apparently was staying in the house next door (same property). All were a bit frazzled to say the least.
Then came Saturday, morning was great, hiking and whatnot. That afternoon, relaxing on the deck and here comes a huge dog and the neighbor running along the yard.."our" yard behind the deck. Same area we had been walking our small dogs. Come to find out it was not their dog, however, there was no way we were letting our dogs out again with him running loose. Then he is just hanging on the back deck. So no.
The last straw was the block of Rat Poison that one of our dogs brought out from the bedroom. I wasn't sure what it was, so text the owner while husband was googling it. Owner says, "yeah that's under the furniture." Need to caveat place is not small dog friendly because any dog or even a child could get under the raised bed. I could easily reach under the raised bed.
So we decided to leave Saturday afternoon....Unexpected person walking in, Large dog not allowing us to take ours out, Rat poison, etc. We were done.
Upon loading up the truck as soon as we took our dogs out to put them in the Large dog charged us. I text the owner to let him know we were leaving a night early due to all the things that were going on. No response from Owner after that. Not all his control but a Sorry for the trouble?
