My boyfriend and I had a great mini-vaca. We’re local and just wanted a night away. Everything we could have needed was available, down to the pizza cutter. The hot tub was just what we needed to relax after a long work week. We ended up checking out a night early due to unforeseen circumstances, but will definitely be going back when we have the time.

I don't want to tell anyone about this great cabin because I want it to always be available for me! It's a perfect getaway cabin near Carbondale, Giant City, and the wine trail. Steve was a great host. The cabin is well appointed with 2 gorgeous bathrooms. The outdoor space is maximized with a large hot tub and outdoor grill and fire pit. We loved soaking and looking at the stars. With a college student at SIUC and mile's of trails to be explored, we will definitely be back.

Great location

This is a great place to stay if you want to visit Giant City State Park and surrounding area. The house has a small indoor gathering area but the deck is spacious and the hot tub and view of the moon over the golf course were wonderful.
