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.

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!

Weekend Getaway
We had a lovely weekend away and it was stress free staying at Jennifer’s cabin. The cabin was clean, well stocked and a great location to Shawnee National Forest’s many hikes and sights. We enjoyed a fire pit by night and fishing by day at their small lake. Preparing breakfast and dinner was a breeze as all the kitchen necessities were there for use. Thank you for a wonderful weekend, we will be back!

Great weekend of family camping
Hosts were very accommodating and helpful. They helped with firewood, water, supplies, suggestions for local hikes and allowed us to use various water toys on their pond. Although the site was in close proximity to their house, a tree line made it feel private. Short drive to Garden of the Gods for some incredible views and nice hiking.
