My wife and I had the pleasure of spending one night away from the kids in this charming little cabin. We loved everything about it. I wish the weather had been warmer so we could have enjoyed a little fire by the creek. The hosts are very friendly and responsive. They’ve done a great job creating a lovely cabin. I hope we can stay again the future.
My husband and I came for a weekend getaway and this cabin was just what we needed. The hosts do an incredible job with the space and have such cute little touches and details. The hot tub was great and the location was wonderful. We had such a great time! Enjoyed some wineries and trails! Can’t wait to come back again!
This is the perfect little cabin tucked away in the hills near the lake. It’s perfectly private with easy access to lots of nearby activities including Ferne Cliffe State Park and the wine trails. The space and amenities were perfect, they truly thought of everything. The hosts were quick in response and so lovely. We cannot recommend this rental enough!
Small hidden cabin but spacious studio like room with amazing amenities included. Quick response time from owners. Very scenic location with alot of privacy.
Our family of four (myself, husband, 5yo son, 7o son) had a fantastic stay at this tiny, cozy cabin! It was exactly as pictured—charming, well-maintained, and stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The cabin was spotless, well-kept, and perfectly nestled in the woods, providing the peaceful retreat we were looking for.Communication with the owners was also excellent—they were responsive, helpful, and made the whole process seamless. The location was ideal, with great hiking trails just a short distance away. The kids also loved the hot-tub! If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing escape in nature, this is the place to be.We loved our stay and will definitely rent from them again! Highly recommend!
I absolutely loved this place I will most definitely be back!! It’s so homey and beautiful perfect for someone looking for a quiet getaway and there so many things to do around the area!!

We couldn’t have asked for better! This was perfect for my husband and I and our dog. Very cute, clean, the hot tub was a plus. It had everything we needed. I will definitely recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a stay in this area.
Great place to stay in this area and the hosts do a wonderful job of taking care of their customers and the home. Had everything you needed and felt comfortable there and knew you could reach out to hosts if needed, but I didn’t really need to!
We really enjoyed our stay at this tiny cabin. It was very clean and the owners thought of everything. I recommend checking out the nearby state parks Ferne Clyffe & Giant City. Will definitely encourage friends and family to check this place out!
My husband and I brought our 2 dogs to just disconnect and relax for a couple of days. The cabin is in a quiet lake neighborhood and not super close to any neighbors, very private. Cabin was super clean and had everything you’d need for a weekend- Keurig coffee maker, pots, pans, air fryer, hot plate. We even saw a deer in the woods next to the cabin on our last morning! Wonderful trip 10/10 would recommend
The house was beautiful and cozy and the area was the perfect amount of secluded. Tons of hiking and beautiful views near by. Will definitely be returning at some point.
This little cabin is tucked into a hillside and is very cute. It was extremely clean and had all the amenities of home, down to the salt and pepper. This was a test run mostly for our dog and worked out well. We did not use the hot tub, so I cannot comment on that, but I'm sure it would have been amazing. It is in a residential area very near Lake Egypt and the road was busy at times, but all the people in the area seemed very friendly and waved as they drove by. So fun! The cabin is close to Goreville and Ferne Clyffe State Park, which has great trails. It's a perfect little getaway.
