We came here for a weekend visit to check out the Shawnee National Forest area and had the best time! The cabin was in vlose proximity to several hiking areas, the amenities were great, and the cabin was very comfortable for what we needed. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the area!
This was a great spot for a weekend getaway with my husband. Super close to Garden of the Gods and the outpost! Plus pet friendly :)Everything was clean and communicatikn with the host was great! We will definitely be back!
