We stayed in the tree house cabin. Tucked away in the back with plenty of privacy. It was a fantastic getaway for me and my wife. Wonderful views on hikes great setting. Hot tub, privacy, and oh so quiet.

This was our first time staying in Southern Illinois and it will not be our last! The cabins were so clean and had so many amenities for cooking, grilling out and enjoying a bonfire. The hot tub was also great for unwinding after hiking.
