Cabin vacation rentals in Southern Precinct

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.

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.

Nice and spacious cabin. All of the bedrooms were nice sized and outfitted with comfortable beds. The kids loved the available games and puzzles as well as the chance to learn how to play pool. The movie room was their favorite part by far, and the available videos had something for everyone. The hot tub was a really nice way to unwind after our visits to the Land Between the Lakes National Forest. We would recommend that to anyone looking for something to do in the area.

We came to town for a concert, then enjoyed the rest of the weekend at the cabin. This was our first Airbnb stay and our hosts were great with instructions one how to get in, and how to work the outdoor electronics. We enjoyed the pool table and hot tub!

Place was perfect. Easy to get to and close to the dam. Little tight backing boat in, but had no issue with 21’ bass boat and crew cab Chevy 2500 diesel with 8’ bed! Will definitely be looking to stay here again

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

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.

The cabin was clean, secluded and very peaceful. We will stay there again when visiting family. Thank you Tom for a nice stay!

This little place was amazing. There are breathtaking views from the cabin. the cabin is modern but also rustic, which we enjoyed. The kids loved sleeping in the loft. We rented a golf cart for our stay and the boys loved riding around on it. The boys enjoyed the community pool as well. Everybody is so laid-back and friendly. We rented a pontoon and a tube for one day and had a blast!!! We would highly recommend doing that if you have teenagers. Pagliai’s had delicious pizza and it’s only about 20 minutes away. There’s also a gas grill on the deck that works great. The place is stocked pretty well with basics for cooking. The Running Rooster antique/thrift shop is right next to/ behind the resort. It’s worth a visit, very friendly people and fun items to look at. We would definitely consider coming back again. We had a great time at Holiday Hills!

This was our second stay here, love it!

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

Great secluded area within 30 minute drive of what must be 25+ hikes. It’s rural, stock up before getting in. Very comfortable home sitting right on a stream that is amazing for reading books at night or drinking coffee in the AM. Serviceable kitchen/bathroom/bedrooms. Pet friendly is a plus. If you’re coming in the next month be prepped for bad roads, seems you have to take the gravel backroad into this place which is a tad rough to say the least, but manageable. Loved being on the farm around the animals and guard dog. Only was able to tackle about 10 hikes so will definitely be back!

Had the best time for a bachelorette party! Great deck and hot tub to relax. Had a bus pick us up and explore the Shawnee wine trail! Convenient distance to all local wineries!

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.

Beautiful, relaxing trip we had! Little ones loved fishing (although there was alot of muck around bank) it didn’t stop them from having a great time! We will visit again.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, and will likely be back! A simple, well-kept cabin with a porch to sit on, a pond to fish in, and a fire pit to relax by. What more could you want?

My wife and I spent the weekend at “Pops cabin” this is an amazing place the cabin was very clean,well constructed and the decor was awesome. If you like fishing in the large lake,hiking through the woods or just relaxing on the porch looking at the amazing view this place is very private and beautiful highly recommended Thanks for sharing

The host Jared was more than amazing. We got there a little early while he was cutting the grass and meet him later when he was feeding the cows. His property is so beautiful! My kiddos had the most amazing time there they will never forget. This night was also when bad tornadoes were coming through and he sat on the porch watching the storms once I messaged him me and my best friend were nervous since we had all the children alone with us. We have never meet a human that made us feel more safe with us being away from home. That is something I will never forget and am truly blessed to have found. We will be back! Thank you again for everything!

We spent a long weekend at this charming, rustic cabin in Elizabethtown to explore Shawnee National Forest and other scenic areas in southern Illinois. We really enjoyed staying in a 100 year-old cabin that was built to last and had been very cared for over the years. Stephanie was super responsive and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy a peaceful weekend in nature. Lots of beautiful rock formations, water falls, and hiking trails within driving distance. I really felt like I was able to see so much of what southern Illinois has to offer. And in the morning and evening we could relax on the deck and watch the passing barges. We’d definitely go back!

Look - you're going to look at the pictures and description of this place and think "this is too good to be true." I get it - we certainly did. But if you're worried about misleading information, the only fear you will realize is Tom and Beverly are *underselling* this amazing AirBnB. Everything is as good or better than described. The pool - OMG the Endless Pool is amazing! But even if you're not a pool person, Tom and Beverly have put in a lot of thought to making your stay amazing. Indoors you have air hockey, axe throwing, darts, and board games in an absolutely spacious game / enternainment area with vaulted ceilings, comfy couches and chairs, a desk, and incredibly large TV plus super-fast WiFi (500Mb). And that's just 1/3 of the indoor space! I'll run out of characters before I'm done, so here's what else - outdoor space is just as amazing - two private lakes, playground equipment if you've got kiddos, just gorgeous walking, etc. This is definitely one of the best - book it!
