Cabin holiday rentals in Shawnee National Forest

The perfect relaxing cabin. A short drive from gorgeous wineries and a quick walk to a beautiful hiking trail where we found over 12 mushroom species. Highly recommend this host!

What a beautiful cabin close to the Shawnee National forest and numerous other states parks and wilderness areas. We had everything we needed and more. The beds are super comfortable, the kitchen well stocked with appliances and utensils, and the hot tub clean and spacious and oh so relaxing. The outdoor space is pristine, comfortable, and a great place to gather. We'll worth the trip!

Phillip was a great host, the cabin was perfect for my wife and to really enjoy a peaceful stay. He was very responsive and friendly. Great location! Great Host! Great Cabin. My wife and I will definitely be back to enjoy the beautiful and peaceful location again.

The little cabin was absolutely perfect for some much needed down time. It had everything I needed and wanted. Christi was helpful with making hiking recommendations as well.

Our group of long time friends had a great time there. The house is great and had lots of amenities. Very roomy and had one of the best stocked kitchens I’ve seen for a rental. We enjoyed the game room, fire pit and large deck. We would definitely rent there again! The host is quick to respond to any questions we had.

Shawnee Forest Cabins were a great place to stay after hiking the area all day. The cabin was cozy, easy to find, and very clean upon our arrival. The hosts were very friendly and ensured we had everything we needed during our stay. If you utilize the hot tub, make sure you look up and appreciate all the stars!!!

I loved it, it was so peaceful! Lots of places to hike. Very cozy and clean.

My son and I very much enjoyed our stay. Both Jill and Danny were very responsive to any of our questions, and we really loved the trail that we were able to access for our private use. The animals were so much fun to be around.

Quaint little cabin in a very quiet area, but close to Carbondale IL. Place was very clean, easy to find and exactly as described. Great place for price! Would definitely stay again.

Mercedes went above and beyond for us! Our stay was a short last minute trip and her quick response time was impressive! Very friendly and compassionate to help us get settled in quickly, so we could attend to what we came for. The place was very clean and the peaceful surroundings were the perfect atmosphere for us. Thank you Mercedes, we will definitely visit again!

We loved staying at Hannah's cabin. It is so remote and peaceful. We sat outside under the stars at night and really enjoyed the screened in porch and the creek behind the cabin. We will definitely return.

The cabin was clean, secluded and very peaceful. We will stay there again when visiting family. Thank you Tom for a nice stay!

Beautiful cabin in a beautiful setting.

Such a wonderful place in a peaceful setting. Beautiful home and surroundings.

Great secluded area within 30 minute drive of what must be 25+ hikes. It’s rural, stock up before getting in. Very comfortable home sitting right on a stream that is amazing for reading books at night or drinking coffee in the AM. Serviceable kitchen/bathroom/bedrooms. Pet friendly is a plus. If you’re coming in the next month be prepped for bad roads, seems you have to take the gravel backroad into this place which is a tad rough to say the least, but manageable. Loved being on the farm around the animals and guard dog. Only was able to tackle about 10 hikes so will definitely be back!

This cabin was unbelievable. Everything was fresh and new, beautifully decorated, cosy and thoughtful. The hosts really went out of their way to provide everything needed - Fire and s'more supplies, water filter in fridge, wine and snacks, plentiful toiletries and paper products, condiments and spices, games, books (even children's books and coloring supplies) nice soaps, comfy beds, plentiful and nice towels etc. It became a running joke for us "wow, this cabin really has everything." All of it very thoughtfully curated, it all felt very personal. My daughter freaked out over the loft, it's a kid's dream come true. It is a high loft, so probably most appropriate for an older kid, but she is 6 and followed the rules carefully. It's in a beautiful setting and feels very secluded, we didn't see any other people or dogs while we were there, so we could just exit the cabin and hike or let our dog and daughter play around the premises.

Great cabin, had plenty of room for a group of hunters. Super nice and friendly. We will stay again on the next hunting trip!! Thanks Dewey!!!

I REALLY ENJOYED THIS PROPERTY. IT IS IN A GREAT AREA AND I LOVED THE UNIQUENESS OF THE BUILDING. LARRY WAS AWESOME.

We enjoyed the beautiful wide porch with lots of bird sitings and the small lake with lots of turtles sunning themselves. Very peaceful!

We booked Patty’s cabin for a weekend getaway to metropolis and Paduka and it was a perfect place to stay .. very peaceful and private and way better than staying in a hotel

We had a great time at the house. It was beautiful and clean and had all that we required . Its location is perfect , a walk h distance to the castle park which the younger kids loved and a short drive to giant city park and into town . Thanks for a great stay !

We had a really good time & enjoyed our stay! We tried Driver Down, a local restaurant Brittan recommended and it was so good!! Brittan was very nice & helpful!! We will definitely have to come back this summer, and stay longer!! If you’re thinking about booking, DO IT!!!

absolutely great place! would stay there again!!

What a great place to stay to get away from the city and relax! What a surprise to get to see a new baby goat only 4 days old! Will definitely come back and stay again.
