Steve is the bomb! We had an awesome time in Makanda. We will 100% be visiting again and booking with Steve!

10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026

Comfortable, nicely stocked with amenities, clean and quiet. The setting for the cabin was pleasant and peaceful. We tryto leave properties as clean as we find them but I appreciated there wasn’t a long list of rules for use and departure. I’d look to rent again when we visit southern Illinois.

10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026

The cabin was perfect for what we needed! It was clean, well-furnished, and comfortable. The coffee station and snack basket were a much-appreciated touch. It was a great, cozy place to come back to after long days of hiking, and it was nice to have found a pet-friendly place to stay! The host was very friendly, accommodating, and thorough with directions and information. Overall a great stay!
