Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Southern Precinct

This home exactly what we were hoping for! Great kitchen and plenty of space to gather with family. Comfy beds!!! Brenda was so nice and super helpful, and really went out of her way to make sure our family felt at home. We’ll stay here again on our next visit, for sure!

This house is a favorite of my family. We chose to stay here again because of the avaible space and the area to entertain my large family. Krista is a great host and does a great job at promptly responding to any question I have. I cannot wait to use this property again.

Another great stay at the eagles nest. This was our second time staying here and it was just as great as the first time. Lots of space, great for entertaining. Richard was a great host and very easy to deal with. Very pleased, will stay again.

Rebecca's place was a warm and cozy. exceeded out expectations. we had to stay for a remeberance ceremony at SIU and Rebecca made us feel welcomed. The location was perfect. Highly recommend

Rebecca and Derek’s place is a true gem of a find! The pictures do not do it justice. They were friendly, responsive and such wonderful hosts. We will absolutely be back - be sure to bring your fishing poles if you come. My boys caught so many fish and had a blast. We will be back!

We were passing through and needed a last minute stay. They were awesome to accommodate our same day booking. It’s a charming farmhouse on a farm setting with the sights and sounds of farm life greeting you in the morning. Our kids loved to see the cute cows. It was clean and had what we needed.

The house was quiet and peaceful. The bed was comfortable. I was thrilled there was Folgers coffee. Definitely made my mornings. The host was awesome. We were arriving earlier than the check in time. We asked if we could come early or if we had to wait. The host let us check in early and that alone was fantastic and much appreciated. We will definitely come back.

We had a wonderful stay. Amanda decorated for Christmas which was very nice since we were traveling over the holiday. The home is amazing…from the high-end appliances and finishes to the luxurious bath and shower. Everything we needed was on hand and Amanda was quick to respond to all questions we had. Overall, our stay was great!!! Highly recommend.

Great Place! Very easy check in process. Very responsive host. If I work in the area again I will be back!

Tammy was fantastic and kind. The place was great for a weekend of turkey hunting and close enough to get to the city to shop and find other things to do as well. We would stay again.

The hosts were flexible, friendly, and responsive. I have never experienced better. They were flexible with an emergency last minute booking. They made my entire trip to Illinois worth it. Thank you!

It was a sweet, peaceful get away!

I was in town staying with family and it’s located next door. It made the trip so special and the opportunity to catch up on some much needed sleep. Comfortable and quiet which is exactly what I was looking for that week! So was so patient even when I had fallen asleep and blocked her driveway. This was the first stay of hopefully many to come!

Great place to stay and within walking distance to great restaurant. Deb was amazing to work with and very responsive. Beds were comfortable and we had a great time. We will definitely stay here again.

Ashley and her lakefront rental were both amazing! She made check in and out so seamless and easy , place was juys wayt we needed As makanda girl I really enjoyed the peaceful private yet safe neighborhood feel a lot It was wonderful to sit on that bench and watch the sunset over the lake and was so serene Hope to stay there again sometime Ashley was great

Anna's listing was just as described. Nice place out of town. Anna was very friendly and responsive. She worked with me on entrance due to a funeral; which I greatly appreciated!

What a wonderful place to enjoy the calmness and wildlife of the mountains!

We love hiking so we visited the Garden of the Gods, the Little Grand Canyon and the Giant City Nature Trail. This cabin is in a great location for visiting the Shawnee National Forest and perfect place to unwind after a day of hiking. The grill for making dinner was so clean, as well as the hot tub for relaxing. Also a fire pit out back. The kitchen had everything you could need. Shampoo and conditioner were also provided. This is by far the best Airbnb I have visited, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! We had a great time :)

This is a perfect little cottage near the lake. It had everything we needed, including nice outdoor patio spaces for eating and a big firepit. You can't see much of the lake from the cottage, but it's easy to get to - across a quiet road and down a very long flight of stairs. There's a nice big dock for fishing, swimming, star gazing at night, boating, and just relaxing and enjoying the view (it's a particularly scenic section of the lake because there is no development on the other side of the water - just forest!). We loved having access to kayaks and enjoyed fishing off the dock. Would love to return in summer when we can swim and do even more water activities!

Traveled with my husband, teenage daughter and our puppy. Pet friendly! Super clean and fresh! Hot tub was an attractive amenity. Host is very responsive and the site is just off of major roads so it is easy to find, yet also quiet. Very central to all the must see sites near Shawnee National Forest. Lots of amenities packed into a small space. Great for a long weekend stay!

We were surprised by the amenities and care that Mary took to get the place ready for our stay. She had all the essentials in case you missed packing something and more. She was very responsive when we asked for dinner recommendations. The cabin is right at the entrance to Godwin trail and 1.5 miles from the cross. It is walking distance to the cross as well.

If your idea of Heaven includes a beautiful lake view in a tranquil setting where you can relax, I have good news. This location is it. Joanna Beth responded to questions quickly and I felt confident that our stay would be a perfect getaway, which was correct. The space was clean, comfortable, roomy, and had everything we needed. The recommendations for restaurants in town were really helpful, and we enjoyed some of the nearby hiking opportunities as well. We will definitely stay here again in the near future!

We loved it. The location was perfect for all the sights we wanted to see. The cabin had everything we needed and was awesome!

THANK YOU AGAIN SO MUCH! We had a fantastic weekend. Ma's Cabin was the perfect "home-base" for our hiking adventures. Was so peaceful to relax after hiking all the trails. Everything we needed for our getaway. Sid and Patty were so friendly and of course Lillie stole the show ❤️. Thank you again!
