Nice spot off the beaten path
If you are looking for something small, off of the beaten path, clean, and pleasant, this is your spot. We needed a spot for a central hub to fall asleep in between youth camp activities. I will say that the couch and chair were pretty stiff but not unbearable. I know after a few rentals, this host will be happy to replace them. They had just about everything that you need. Near the golf course, it is also a great spot to take a break for a day or so and enjoy a few rounds of golf.

Perfect cabin for relaxing stay. Comfortable beds. Plenty of hot water. Well equipped right down to snacks! Price was affordable and the host was responsive.The only upgrade possibility would be a new couch. That one has seen better days!

Good price
This cabin was a good stay for the price. Location was a short drive to what we were visiting. A new couch should be on the to purchase list. We were sitting pretty low.

Nice little cabin
Nice little cabin conveniently located near Carbondale. Also close to Giant City National Park and lodge as well as many of the wineries in the area. Cabin was very clean and near perfect size for a couple or small family. Just was easy to communicate with and had no problem dealing with him.
