Great place to get away from it all!

House has no visible neighbors but convenient to Garden of Gods and other trails. House has amazing views, 3 bathrooms and lots of big beds for adults. We used wash machine after getting clothes wet and muddy on trail. Kitchen fully stocked for grilling or cooking. Nearest grocery store a bit away so plan to haul in food.

Fantastic home

We needed to get away for a bit and this home was the perfect place. The house is fantastic and it was so quiet there. Just what we needed. We did cut our trip short but that was only due to the weather.

Love this place

We love staying here. Peaceful, quiet, relaxing no one around. We have stayed here twice both times everything was great. Our last trip we discovered the house is only 4 tenths of a mile from a 50 mile bike trail. We will be planning a return trip for late spring

Hilltop getaway

This property is in a quiet, secluded area with plenty of property to explore and enjoy family time. The house is perfectly appointed, very clean and has rustic charm with all the modern amenities. The coffee nook was a nice touch as well. The location is in the middle of all the activities we participated in, hiking, zip lining, swimming, antique shopping and wine tasting. I recommend this house and location for a trip to southern Illinois.

What an amazing place!

We stayed here for a few days while visiting Garden of the Gods and other places in Southern Illinois and Kentucky. Everything was perfection. Such a lovely home and beautiful grounds. Loved the deer that came to visit and we had a visit from a great horned owl. The owners were wonderful and thought of every detail.

Great Stay

The house was the cleanest place we’ve ever rented for short vacation. I was overjoyed that not even a dust bunny or small cobweb to be found. I can’t say enough about how nice this place is to stay. The fact that the wood work inside the house came from their very own sawmill just adds to the appeal. The owner is a great host. We will definitely return again and bring the whole family next time

Great stay

This house was immaculate and comfortable for our weekend. There was unique and beautiful decor throughout and the attention to detail in everything was noticable. We even found 2 ice creams in the freezer, the perfect amount for our kids. I dont know if that was intentional but it sure felt like it. Loved Arsula's house.

Discipleship

We came with another couple to bond together in Christ. The place was clean, well maintained and had all the comforts of home. The host has a sticked coffee bar as well as a few snacks that we enjoyed while windung down from our day.

Amazing stay at arsulas house

Met up with my sister and her family. Large group 11!of us. Stunning property with everything we needed. The kids loved the pond for catch and release fishing. We could lounge by the fire pit while they fished and played. The house was so unique and comfortable with everything we needed. Fred was an awesome host and available for any questions.

House is beautiful

My only problem was the road to the house was in terrible shape. I thought my car would be damaged so I only went 5 mph. Once there house and grounds were very nice.

2020 Deer Season

This property is quiet secluded up on a hill overlooking Stonefort. It made the perfect setting for annual deer season get together. The house was awesome plenty of room and amenities and everything you need to enjoy your stay. Unfortunately we did not get to explore the property much as we were gone before sun up every day and back after sundown. We had a few questions during our stay and the owners responded really quick. We will definitely be back.

Restful and Relaxing

We were in Carbondale to meet family for an afternoon so decided to take a mini vacation in the Shawnee National Forest. After checking hotels in the area, thought should check out VRBO and found this lovely gem in a quiet little town. The property was quiet and private, sitting a top a hill. I was not expecting the $52 fee to VRBO but it stands to reason they would have a listing fee. The last night, my husband and I enjoyed sitting out by the fire pit. Also, enjoyed speaking with Keith and learning more about all the beautiful aspects of the home and decor. We plan to go back with friends. Thank you for sharing your home.

Peaceful, beautiful and perfect for groups!

My husband and I were so happy to have snagged this home last minute for our trip to Shawnee National Forest! The grounds are absolutely beautiful! The home is comfortable, well-stocked, clean and would be perfect for a family or group getaway! The home has so many lovely touches that made it feel “homey”. The property has a pond, fire pit complete with hot dog/marshmallow sticks, a picnic table and a tree swing! We watched deer in the field morning and evening! We were sad to be leaving after just one day! I would recommend stopping at that market on your way and eat in, there is no need to go out to restaurants, which are at least 15 minutes away. We hiked trails in the Garden of the Gods-be sure to catch the observation trail at sunset or early morning sunrise! The host was super quick to respond when I had questions. The check in process couldn’t have been easier. I am looking forward to returning to this gem!
