We came down for a tour of the Shawnee Wine Trail and do some hiking and this house is perfectly located in the center of it all. It is a hop skip and jump from Giant City State Park which has fabulous hiking and really close to Cobden and Makanda both adorable little towns. Blue Sky Winery was our favorite after visiting 4 of the local wineries. We also enjoyed her outdoor living space on the back patio listening to all the night creatures and having a fire.

Each years end we try to find someplace to go to find peace and bring in another year. I found this cabin on VRBO last minute and luckily it was available. From the second we opened the door, I was impressed. I loved the decor, the furniture and towels and essentials left for us to use. The porch and fire pit area look wonderful and hopefully on our next stay the weather will allow us to enjoy them too.The property manager was very responsive and replied to my email quickly. The property was updated and very stylish, with decor and furniture for any interest.We will definitely be back soon!!Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin with us. ##### Kent W.

Jul 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 10 out of 10 This cabin is beautifully decorated and supplied with everything we needed during our stay. A very well appointed home! The beds and main-room seating areas are comfortable, stacked with ample pillows and throws. We loved the ceiling fans and the smart TV, which allowed us to watch our favorite shows in the evening after a long day of hiking and sightseeing. And the Wifi gave us access to our emails, restaurant and hiking sites, and my online dance class.Laundry supplies are provided, and Ann has programmed the washer and dryer for easy and effective results. A well-organized kitchen with plenty of refrigerator and freezer space. The main room, with its vaulted ceiling, is is a joy to sit in, nicely divided into kitchen, eating, and living room space. High windows bring in in natural light all day. The room's chandelier is charming. And there's another chandelier in the bathroom, also fun.The cabin's location is peaceful and quiet, and we enjoyed the country seclusion and the sounds of crickets at night.Best of all, Ann is one of the best hosts we've had in our many years of renting VRBO propertiies. She is very prompt and helpful in responding to our messages and questions. She lives a short ways down the road, so we always felt we could reach out to her if we had any concerns. (We didn't have any!)Overall, our experience at Ann's cabin was a 10 out of 10\. And Ann deserves her ranking as a premier host. ##### Marsha C.
