Cabin vacation rentals in Makanda

Jen is a fantastic host. The place is wonderful, plenty full of things around if you forget something she has you covered with most essentials. The only thing that could of went better for us is the weather. It rained hard the whole time we stayed but we still had a wonderful time, this place works for bad weather and staying indoors. The final day was sunny when loading up to leave, we caught a big Bluegill before leaving . She is planning on putting in a dock and that will make this place much better even know it's already perfect. Thanks for sharing your home and we will return soon. We had a great time!

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.

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.

booked our second stay here again. Such a cool place. If we end up coming back, we will be staying here again.

Jordan has a great place to sit back and relax. It has everything you need. We will be looking forward to our next stay here.

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.

Home was exactly as as described. We loved sitting on the front porch, enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning. Definitely will stay here again.

Beautiful cabin in a beautiful setting.

This was our second stay here, love it!

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

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 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!!!

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!

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.

Plenty of space to relax and have space. Well stocked kitchen to make meals. Sun porch was nice to take in nature. The hiking trails were a bonus!
