Sonny Hills-Cabin

We had an incredible stay at Sonny Hills-Cabin near Shawnee Forest! The cabin itself was very cozy, very comfortable, and very well equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location couldn’t have been better, surrounded by gorgeous nature with hiking and sightseeing opportunities on site and even more in the park just a short drive away. The hosts went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome and had everything we needed. Their kindness and attention to detail truly made this trip extra special. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer and we’re already looking forward to returning as soon as we can. Highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat near Shawnee Forest! 🌲✨

Unplug and reset

My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our weekend getaway at Jennifer's cabin. The lovely water with a tree-covered hill to the east was beautiful each day. It was great to have wood provided for the fire pit, the kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable, and so were the couches. It was a great place to get away from our busy lives for a weekend. We visited Garden of the Gods and Dixon Spring this time but we hope to come back to explore their wooded property. And the see the doggies :) I appreciated getting myself away from the internet, although we did have good enough cell signal to be able to access the web when needed. I enjoy tent camping but did not have the energy or time for it right now and this was the perfect middle ground between tent camping and being home. I plan to recommend this cabin to my friends too and hope that we can even visit it together the next chance we can get away.

We loved this place. It had everything you could possibly need. We appreciated the fenced-in yard for our dogs, peaceful surroundings, kitchen with everything we needed for cooking, and the hot tub. Games, movies, you name it. We’ll be back!

Perfect for us

John and Jennifer were super friendly and their land is beautiful. We brought our dog and he loved to play with their Irish Wolfhounds. We will definitely be back in the future!

I recently stayed at this charming cabin, and it exceeded all my expectations! The location was absolutely stunning, providing the perfect escape into nature. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home. The hot tub was impeccably clean and a fantastic way to unwind after a day of exploring. The cozy amenities made our stay even more enjoyable, from the comfortable beds to the well-equipped kitchen. I can’t recommend this place enough—it’s a perfect getaway for anyone looking to relax and recharge!
