Quaint cottage very convenient to the Shawnee Wine Trail. The lack of an oven and stove did not hamper our foodie lifestyle as the grill and a camp stove (which we brought) met all our needs.
The cabin was on a cul de sac with other cabins. Our neighbors were very friendly. It was quiet. Close to restaurants and stores. Hiking in Giant City State Park. Best was it was 'pet friendly'! We saw the Northern lights!
