The Makanda Boardwalk is always a fun experience and Cobden has a very nice antique shop to browse! Or, just kick back and relax on our beautiful countryside property.

Great stay for getting away

This home is secluded and away from the busyness of Carbondale and SIU. The owners were attentive and quickly responded to our questions.If you want quiet you can find it here. We spent a lot of time relaxing and allowing our student to decompress prior to finals. The hot tub was an added bonus. Many places to visit for food in the area, just plan to drive, as you are about 20-25 min outside Carbondale. We mostly enjoyed just sitting, watching wildlife, and listening to the quiet. Great relaxing getaway.

Fantastic cottage!

I stay in many, many similar places over the years, and I have never stayed anywhere with such a well-stocked kitchen as this! There was a crockpot, good blender, and even an air-fryer! Scissors, ground coffee, olive oil- this kitchen has it all! We had a blast!

This was a different style for us, we usually do a cabin, but this place did not disappoint. So close to many wineries and had everything we wanted, including a pool table. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Large rural home in a quiet pasture like setting with two car garage. It was well stocked with good equipment and had freshly ground Starbucks coffee in the fridge. TV streaming service but no internet at this time. The location was great for a visit to Giant City Park. The basement had a full pool table, TV and comfortable seating,
