Neighborhood

This gorgeous little gem is nestled in the Shawnee National Forest. It's secluded, and yet convenient to hiking, wineries, and ziplines. The cabin is on our 52 acre property that borders the national forest. If peace, quiet, and solace is what you seek, you'll find them here. If you need amenities, the small town of Goreville is just 8 minutes east, with a Dollar General, Subway, Acee's (Local gas station chain with killer burgers), Whiffle Boys (local pizza chain with great Italian favorites), and a local grocery store as well as a couple of antique shops. Larger stores are located 20-25 minutes away in Marion, Anna, and Carbondale.

Guest Access

The tiny cabin is set on a 52 acre working farm, with ample space for stargazing, walks and relaxing by the fire pit. This is a working farm and also hosts 2 other cabins, but your space is set apart and comfortably secluded from both other guests and the animals. A green tiny cabin is visible across the pasture from your cabin. It is occasionally occupied by our on-farm coffee roaster.

We absolutely loved our stay. The cabin was clean, cozy, quiet, and had an amazing view. My wife and I truly enjoyed the space. Keith was quick to respond to any questions, and the place was extremely clean, easy to navigate, and felt very safe. We would highly recommend staying here

I enjoyed my stay at Keith’s place very much. He is a great host. The area is quiet and tranquil. I only wish that I would have had enough time to stay longer. I would definitely stay here again.

Phenomenal tiny cabin, my pup and I had everything we needed. She loved freely running around outside and sniffing the large perimeter. We were very happy to boop the farm dogs, too - they were so friendly! Perfect place to get some hikes in and then go taste wine a hop and a skip from the cabin. Oh! And the coffee was also delicious. Thank you all so much, perfect trip.

Wonderful thanksgiving spent by the campfire surrounded by nature. It was great to disconnect from work and the world for a few days and spend some quality time with my wife and 4 year old son. The tiny cabin was awesome, cozy, and exactly as described. Dogs were a great touch and super kid friendly, my son loved them. We definitely plan on visiting again soon, either here or to another one of Keith’s places nearby. Keith was an awesome host and very responsive to all of my annoying questions. Loved the coffee too! Great spot to reset and enjoy nature.
