This property is located close to plenty of antique shops and two beautiful state parks as well, yet secluded from any traffic after a day of adventuring. A super clean and comfortable place with modern amenities and charmingly decorated. While relaxing on the front porch, we saw deer, turkey, bluebirds, and even a fox. It was a great place to wind down for a few days. Denise made sure we had everything we needed.
We had a wonderful time on Crews Mountain during our visit to the Shawnee National Forest! The cabin has a great location in near the center of the park and is better than shown in the photos. It is an accessory dwelling on a well-landscaped property that has an in ground pool and a lake with swimming dock. The cabin was fully stocked with everything we needed. We saw lots of wild life, such as a fox, turkeys, geese, toads, and a hawk. We had a lovely visit and would certainly visit again!
Perfect! Cute, clean cabin, very well stocked and sweet little extras like frosted mugs in the freezer. Hosts are very responsive and kind. Highly recommend.
Beautiful. Peaceful. Clean. Perfect.The time I spent on the dock was a dream.It happens to be on a lone curve across from a little island that an amazing array of birds goes to and fro all day. Every type of winged creature seemed to soar above and around me. Great egrets and herons swooped down swift and steady just above the water right past me. I tell you it was just glorious.The song of nature all around in every bird call , splash of water, wind in the trees .. I spent hours and hours at the lake .. and my nights in a heavenly nest of a bed! I felt safe and cozy and nothing but great vibes from my texts with the owners and one brief encounter on the grounds. Good people.I will absolutely be back.
Super clean and comfortable setting. About 30 minutes away from Garden of Gods and Giant City State Parks. Owners gave goods recommendations for local spots. Would definitely stay again.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was so spacious, clean, adorably decorated, had everything we needed and more. The location was perfect for day trips to Garden of the Gods, Paducah and excellent antiquing. We enjoyed walks around the property in the evening and dinner at several locations recommended by Denise. We hope to stay again.
We absolutely enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Quiet, cozy, and clean. We had everything we needed and more. The hosts went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay. 10/10 Would recommend!
We loved this little cottage which provided us with a much needed get away. Very, very clean and tidy, it contained just what was needed. We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit while watching the wildlife and sunrises/sets. I would definitely return as the hosts were so kind yet not intrusive. I will note the cottage is located right by the main house. This was not an issue for us and we did not see anyone, but others may want something more secluded.
Very nice cabin. Close to all the hiking we had planned. The walk to the lake was much harder than it seems in pictures and very steep. Everything else was very comfortable and we had the solitude we were seeking. Would stay here again.
Denise and Ken are wonderful hosts, and they have a fantastic place at a great location. The cabin has been thoughtfully created with all the conveniences and touches of a home. The beautiful porch was our favorite spot to enjoy tea/coffee in the mornings and evenings. The kitchen is well-stocked with cooking essentials and pantry staples for homemade meals. The mattress was really comfortable, helping us get a great night's rest. Loved the little drive under the canopy of trees along the hill leading up to the cabin. The location is great for access to Shawnee National Forest, Ferne Clyffe State Park, and other great spots in the area. Denise's food and hiking recommendations were much appreciated. Highly recommend this place and we look forward to returning in the future.
The cabin was as described and more! So clean and comfortable for my family of 4. We enjoyed swimming and fishing in the lake. Do recommend a good shoe for the walk to the lake as it is a bit steep. The owners were very helpful and so nice. We highly recommend this cabin and would definitely come back. Quiet and relaxing!
We had such a wonderful stay at this property! Everything was very clean and comfortable. The owners were very helpful with local information of hiking locations and great places to eat. We visited many different areas of the Shawnee National Forest all within an hour drive or less. We will definitely be back again soon!
If you are looking for some quiet and seclusion this may be for you. Pasture behind the cabin with woods all around made for a serene location to unwind. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was just as advertised. Roomy and nicely appointed. Ours hosts were very cordial and responsive to our needs. Enjoy!
Wonderful property with all the needed essentials and more! The patio area overlooks a beautiful field and there was also a nice fire pit area. The bed was so, so comfortable! There was even a thicker memory foam pad for the sofa sleeper. Host was very responsive too! Would stay here again to hike in the area!
This cabin was perfect for my birthday weekend away! It was super clean and fresh. Everything you need is in this cabin. The owners thought of things that I didn't know that I needed!! We had all of the comforts from home. The king size bed is super soft, almost too soft! The lake isn't as easy to get to as I would have liked. You have to walk down a path and there were parts that were pretty rocky and slippery. The cabin is located in an area that is close to the wineries and lots of hiking. We had a fun and peaceful weekend.
