About this property

Quiet And Rural Retreat - Wine Trail, Great Hiking, & Hunting!

The Cabin is Secluded 3BD/2BA overlooking pond and near local attractions

Welcome to your "Home Away From Home"! Tucked nearly a half mile off the road, this house is the prefect get-away, very private and peaceful . Nestled on a hill over-looking a stocked pond you'll have everything you need to unwind and relax, while still being close to lots of local attractions. Great place for couples wanting a relaxing getaway.

If you want to come and stay put, you'll have everything you need. You can relax and sip coffee in a rocking chair on the covered front porch, fish in the stocked pond, or grill on a state park style charcoal grill and eat at the patio table on the paved patio, also there is a fire pit so bring lots of firewood so you can sit outside and roast hot dogs or smores. Inside you'll have all the comforts of home including a full stocked kitchen, satellite tv, free wifi, and washing machine and dryer.

With 2 queen beds and 1 full size bed, and two full bathrooms, the house accommodates 5 adults. The master and one of the bedrooms have their own TV. The kitchen is equipped with electric stove/oven, full sized refrigerator, coffee maker and grinder, blender and other small appliances as well as dishes, glasses, pots, pans -etc.

Pleasant Retreat Cabin is located near lots of attractions for a wide variety of interests. If hunting or hiking is your thing, we're close to the Shawnee National Forest which is full of turkeys and big whitetail deer. A covered car port is available to store your hunting gear or bikes. If other outdoor activities get you excited, you'll love that we're 6 minutes from the Tunnel Hill Bike Trail, Ferne Cliff State Park and the Cache River Nature Area, Lake Egypt only 20 minutes away, Plus you can enjoy hiking scenic Shawnee National Forest with several trails available year around, several local Winery's. This property does not allow any Hunting, boating, swimming or ice skating.

Whatever the reason you want to get away, we want to be the place you visit !

Absolutely fantastic!!
I booked this property for a long girls weekend and it did not disappoint!! The house was clean, comfy and cozy and had everything you would ever need. We enjoyed walking the property, hiking the Tunnel Hill State Trail and spending the evenings enjoying the rocking chairs and fire pit listening to the sounds of nature. We saw deer and wild turkeys on the property. I’ve stayed in numerous VRBO properties and this by far is one of my favorites. We are already making plans to book it again next fall. We hated to leave! Thank you Dennis for sharing your wonderful retreat!

The hidden retreat
We very much enjoyed our time here! We stayed for 3 nights in early September. It was quiet and very peaceful. We were hiking and bicycling during the daytime. This was a great place to come in the afternoon and unwind. We saw wild turkeys every day and heard owls every night!

True peacefulness
We loved our stay in this cabin! It's very secluded and therefore so peaceful. We had plenty of room for our family of 5. While it looks like a small cabin, our family really appreciated the large kitchen table, the living room with plenty of seating for all of us, and the large front porch. The kids enjoyed fishing at the dock every day- especially the giant turtles who came to visit at the edge. The bathrooms were well stocked with towels and toilet paper and the bedrooms had plenty of pillows and blankets, something not every rental provides. Thanks for a great stay!

First Sister Trip
This was our first ever sister trip and our first ever VBRO experience. Let me start out by saying Pleasant Ridge Retreat was the perfect location for us. It was a little piece of heaven. We loved everything about the house. The view of the pond from the house was perfect. I hope that we are able to make this trip again and get this same location. The wildlife was an absolute bonus. I walked between 4 and 6 miles almost every day, my sisters enjoyed the porch and the pond. Thank you both so much for sharing your beautiful home. Nancy from ND, Karen from IL and Jacolyn from MA

Three sisters get together, we were happy when our three daughters came along. This place was awesome, plenty of room, 2 bathrooms, big covered front porch. It rained, we enjoyed sitting on the porch listening to the rain. Some of us even fished in the lake. We shall return. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home.

Great cabin in the woods
The cabin and surrounding area exceeded all of our expectations. We had a great view of the eclipse, and fantastic birding at the property and nearby sites (Heron Pond & Mermet Lake). Highlights were the barred owl and pileated woodpeckers in the woods near the cabin. We may have to come again, just for the birding! Thanks Dennis!

Peaceful retreat in the woods
This location was absolutely perfect for my family’s spring break hiking trip. The house was clean and accommodations were just what we needed. We saw plenty of wildlife and even did some fishing. We would definitely stay again when in the area.

Get a way and birthday celebration
The property is amazing. The location was perfect. The house had everything we needed. Had a regular coffee pot and a Kurig. Important for our group. Fire pit and patio area was where we spent time. Listening to the wildlife was so nice. Had a trail on property and we took a walk. Would have loved to have had more time to walk grounds.

A lovely weekend in the country with the elders
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Just a few suggestions: 1. Couches/arm chairs are low for old people to get out of. Offer 1-2 higher chairs, but not as high as kitchen. 2. Provide directions for TV audio and speaker. We never did figure out speaker, and it took several hours to get tv audio. Couldn’t call or email you bc no signal to even get wifi info. 3. Your driving directions have the wrong address (3320 instead of 3220) - made it interesting arriving after dark!.

The property was just as described. I loved sitting on the front porch looking at the scenery. I couldn’t believe how quiet it was! We used the grill and ate all our meals on the patio. The kitchen was well stocked. We had everything we needed. And it was clean! We enjoyed the fire pit. I would highly recommend staying there.
