The cabin is beautiful and set in a quaint wooded area. The surrounding cabins are just far enough away to not feel crowded, yet also not feel alone. The large deck is awesome and the access to hiking trails is great. We loved our stay and would absolutely stay again!

5th wedding anniversary

Had a wonderful time staying. We went for our 5 year wedding and was the perfect place to enjoy each other. Spent the day at Garden of the Gods and realized we live 2 hours from one of the most beautiful places on earth. Thank you for allowing us to stay. The cabin was very cozy and felt right at home.

Disappointed with Exterior Decks

We enjoyed our stay however we feel it’s a little pricy for the accommodations. Futon couch needs updating and a dresser should be included for those that choose not to live out of their suitcases. We also we’re not able to enjoy sitting outdoors as the patio decks and front porch are bug infested and in need power washing. The camp chairs we’re old and also bug infested and should be cleaned or replaced. Outside that it’s located right in the middle of Shawnee Forest and easy accessible to all attractions.

Relaxing Retreat

Very enjoyable stay ... perfect size for my husband and I ... everything we needed. We spent a lot of time on the cute front porch enjoying nature from our seat on the glider. LOVED the swing hanging from the oak tree branch (took me back to my childhood). The neighborhood cat came over for a visit. My husband saw a hummingbird every morning. Roasted hotdogs and made s'mores at the firepit. Cabin was clean. Only down side was the 2 queen beds were up in the loft ... the ladder/stairs were decent, but a little dicey to navigate when needing to use the restroom in the middle of the night. Luckily, the couch on the main level turned into a queen size bed ... and was fairly comfortable. Would definitely return here for another long weekend visit.

This cabin was perfect - it's in wonderful condition, the property is quiet and in a lovely location, there was plenty of space for our family of 3 and medium sized dog, the fact that it's dog-friendly, the water pressure and temperature in the bathroom was ideal, the beds were comfortable, and check-in/check-out was simple. I'd definitely book this property again next time we're in the area.

Rustic cabin in great location

Our family enjoyed our stay at this rustic log cabin. Its location gave great access to hiking in Shawnee. At booking and check in, the property was advertised to have a fire place in the amenities on VRBO. Unfortunately, the fire place is bolted shut and not accessible to guests. We were very disappointed with this. We book spots based on fireplaces! Bring layers if visiting in cold weather as the main floor is quite chilly. Otherwise, a nice spot in a pretty location.
