The cabins are located in a very nice area. The setting is wooded and has a stream along the back of the property next to the sitting area and fire pit. We have stayed three times and look forward to another trip. They are always clean and neat, and are very user friendly. Very close to good wineries (Alto Vineyards, Von Jakob, Kite Hill, just to name a few) only a few minutes drive to several others. Bonus locations are Iron Whisk in Cobden (fantastic breakfast that we frequent each visit) and Havisham Bourban Bar in Alto Pass (what a neat place to sit and relax and sample many different drinks). There are many other opportunities to explore that we just havenât taken the time to enjoy.
These cabins and the area in general are a must to experience.
We stayed at Cave Creek for graduation weekend! This was such a great place. It was welcoming, clean, and comfortable. Plus, we were only 5 minutes from multiple wineries! This was perfect. I was happy to be in a quiet spot. It was nice to avoid the busyness of downtown Carbondale. However, close enough to head there as needed! Highly recommend Cave Creek!
We were as comfortable in the cabin as we are in our own home. It was great having laundry machines (we were staying with 4 kids ages 5 to 12). The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Be careful the water out of the faucet can get steaming hot. We enjoyed the fire pit. Would recommend renting both cabins for 4 families- the deck and fire pit is shared. The outside looks rustic but the cabin interior is quite well appointed.
The cabins are located in a very quiet, woodsy area. One fear we had was that it might smell musty. We couldn't have been more wrong. The cabin was so inviting and incredibly clean. No musty smell at all. The pictures online show the property well. But, it is even more beautiful in person. The beds were comfortable, linens and towels were high quality and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. There is a nice gas fireplace and a nice fire pit outside. I would definitely recommend this property. Roger and Shirley (owners) were delightful to deal with as well.
We booked both cabins for a friends getaway. The generous accommodations had plenty of room for everyone to have enough space, enjoy their quiet, and spend time together. The location is convenient to the outdoor activities we had planned for and plenty of restaurants. We will definitely be back!
We've stayed here a couple of times now and the cabin is always in excellent shape, clean and very well maintained, well stocked, and just a joy to rest in. The check in and check out process are easy, and policies and costs are well communicated clearly and early. At this point, we've stayed in quite a few places in the area trying to find the one we like the best. At this point, we've found it.
Loved our couples get away weekend at this cabin. Itâs well equipped and conveniently located to many area attractions. Look forward to staying here again.
Truly enjoyed the peace and quiet of the cabin. Everything needed was there. Decks were amazing to sit on, and cabin was very cozy. The kitchen layout is perfect. The attention to detail of the woodworking throughout showed impressive craftsmanship. Highly recommend.
The property is gorgeous! It worked out great for two couples looking to relax for a few days. One bedroom upstairs and one downstairs, with a full bathroom and living space for each couple. Very clean. Comfortable beds. Large decks to sit and have a glass of wine or cup of coffee and listen to the little stream and the breeze blowing through the trees. Can't say enough good things about this place!
Had a wonderful weekend stay! The cabins are private, but very close to everything on the west leg of the wine trail. They are truly a home away from home with all the things you wouldnât think to bring⊠itâs already in the cabinets! Would love to visit again!
My friends and I stayed at Cave Creek cabin for a fall weekend girls trip. Cave Creek was a great place to stay. Very clean and everything there that you need. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and listening to nature! So peaceful and relaxing. Highly recommend staying at Cave Creek. You donât have to drive far to Rendleman Orchards, Havisham Bourbon Bar and several wineries! We will definitely stay there again when ee go back to Southern Illinois!
This place was so clean, we felt like the first people to ever stay. All the supplies we needed were there, fabulous decks, a fabulous fire pit area. Plenty of room for our group of friends and family. I was so glad not to have wifi, we spent time talking instead of on our devices.
We could not have asked for more.
The cabin was really nice and well set up. The only thing we were missing was a dishwasher and an area to store our groceries. That wouldnât stop us from renting again though.
Raised in rural Southern Illinois in a family that loved to camp and fish, I enjoyed the beauty of this region long before attending Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. In adult life, I've been both a home builder and a woodworker. I also love good wine, good food and meeting people. And that's how the vision for Cave Creek Cabin emerged. The home builder designed the cabins for comfort and function. The woodworker wanted the beautiful wood features. But mostly, I wanted a great place for people to gather, relax and make great memories.
Your home away from home on the Shawnee Wine Trail! We created a cabin where you can be comfortable and relax, with quality that will make you want to come back. We want to become your next Happy Place and can't wait to host you.
