Great cabin; clean, and cozy and private. The hot tub and fire pit were used daily. There are trails on the property. We went to Giant Park which is close; don’t miss the fried chicken at the lodge. We drove about 1.5 hours hike the observation trail at Garden of Gods; well worth the drive! Carbondale is a short drive; great time chilling at cabin !!

My wife and I stayed 3 nights with our two dogs. The cabin was extremely clean and everything was as described. The hot tub was great and worked well. Walking the trails on the property was one of our favorite things to do with our dogs every morning and evening. The cabin felt very private, but was only a short drive away from restaurants and groceries. The cabin is also close to several small towns to explore, and many hiking trails are nearby. We loved our stay and will be back.

Nice that cabin is in the woods but not too far from grocery store or places to eat! Cabin and hot tub are spotless and is the perfect place to get away
