Charming 2BR/1B cabin - Winetrail, SIU, Shawnee Forest, Giant City, Cedar Lake

If you're looking to explore the Shawnee National Forest or the Wine Trial, stay here! You will not be disappointed. We will definitely be back. Thanks, Steve, for sharing your beautiful place."

Stones Throw from Giant City Park, Wineries, Hiking, Biking, Hunting and more.

8/10 Good

"I had only two issues:We had to go over to the neighbors to get the Wi-Fi password, it should be displayed in the property.Also, partly on us is there was no stove/oven. We brought food from Louisiana and were not able to prepare it. I would suggest having an electric hot plate or griddle for hamburgers and breakfast items."

Walker's Bluff Casino Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very kind and helpful! The security guard even noticed my trunk was opened and closed it for me. I’ve stayed twice and both times the hotel and room was very clean and staff were friendly and welcoming. My only two complaints would be that the music in the lobby is loud and annoying and that the breakfast isn’t worth the price. But those things won’t keep from staying again when I’m in the area. I think the hotel clerk was Miranda in the evening and she was above and beyond friendly!"
