Clean and secure cabin that is a duplex. Somewhat dated with a few dings on the walls and exterior that could use new paint/stain. No stove but there were several small appliances to cook with i.e. slow cooker, skillet, toaster. Bed was clean and comfortable. Could benefit from an additional reading light behind recliner. Everything worked and would not hesitate staying here again!

4 day stay
The location was good and I like to bow hunt and they have good deer hunting in the area. My wife enjoyed her stay also, we went to a winery just a few miles away and enjoyed that also. We plan on going again next year.

hiking around Shawnee National Forest
We had a nice stay at the cabin. It was very clean and in a nice area, easy to find. A screen in the sliding door was ripped so we did not open it. The small fridge was too cold and we had a hard time adjusting it so some of our food froze. But overall we would recommend this cabin. The area is very hilly and beautiful with lots of hiking trails. Some difficult to find.

Fall getaway
Quiet, little cabin close to the wine trail. The fireplace was nice and gave the cabin a cozy feel.

Honeymoon
Was such a roomy cabin with all of the comforts of home! Steve definitely thought of everything! We will definitely make this a yearly visit!
The cabin itself was close to everything yet secluded for a private feel. I highly recommend a visit

The perfect little getaway
We absolutely loved our stay here. So peacefully quiet, love the little welcome baskets. It was super clean and had everything we needed for the stay. Loved sitting on the deck enjoying the morning coffee or looking at the stars. It's great that the property is close enough to town it's not a hassle to run to the store, but it's remote enough to not be bothered.
