Summary: The cabin was lovely, cozy, spotless, and in a gorgeous location! Hot tub was incredible, kitchen was well stocked for us to make meals, wide selection of books. First time my fiance and I have felt truly relaxed and rested in a while. Nearly completely private (one neighboring cabin was partially visible from back deck) yet only 10 minutes from Carbondale or 20minutes from cobden or Marion both of which have some hidden gems of restaurants Tons of beautiful hiking around the area, we hiked to 3 different waterfalls, all gorgeous. Will be back!
