Vacation rentals in Carbondale

We were in town for a girls get away with some hiking and Twisted Sister was perfect! Such a beautiful setting and so close to the places we wanted to go. It was super easy to get in, very clean, and had everything we needed to cook for ourselves as we prefer to do. We also enjoyed strawberries from Flamm Orchard, and great hikes at nearby Little Grand Canyon and Cove Hollow, plus of course Giant City State Park. Candace was an excellent hostess. She lives next door but gave us complete privacy. And when I had questions or wanted recommendations she was super responsive. It made us feel safe and cared for. It is so nice that she shares her beautiful property with guests in this way. We will be back!

We stayed here while in town for a family graduation and it was a perfect spot to rest in between celebrations. The space was clean and comfortable, and the host was quick to respond to any questions we had. Great experience overall. Thanks Amanda for being a great host.

It was the best day the couple was so wonderful to me and my family. I would say there again.

I loved my stay here! The cottage was very homey, light and airy, spacious. Had a big bathroom, open floor plan with the kitchen/dinig/living room areas leading to sliding doors that looked out the back to the beautiful horses in the pasture. Everything smelled good, the kitchen was well stocked, but no dishwasher, just like my home. Bed was very comfortable. Fast Wi-Fi (no cell coverage in this area). The a/c units worked well and were quiet & easy to control. I loved all the natural light coming in the numerous windows. Plenty of electrical lights and plugs. The best thing was the horses! When I got there, they seemed to be waiting for me in the backyard/pasture & they were greeting me when I woke up. Loved watching the sunset over the pasture with the horses! Definitely would stay here again!

Really enjoyed staying at this Cabin on the Wine Trail. Lovely little place that was just perfect for our "friends weekend away". Will definitely consider staying here again! Convenient to the wineries and Bald Knob Cross of Peace.

It was well worth the $! I had an amaziiiiing weekend! It’s absolutely beautiful- inside and out! The pool was SUCH a good time, I could’ve stayed in it for days! We grilled out and swam, it’s an unbelievably fun & peaceful experience. The host was extremely responsive, helpful and checked in making sure we had everything the whole stay. I would recommend it for sure! If I could give it 6 stars I would! I will definitely be staying here again!!!

I went to SIUC many many years ago and never visited Giant City. We came down to visit the campus and Giant City and Theresa’s place allowed us to bring our pet and was a great location. It was clean and nicely decorated at a good price.

The cottage was such a great find! Joan sent detailed directions on getting to the cottage that were perfect (being the house is on a country road you might not be sure the GPS is taking you the right way, so Joan’s details really helped.) The area is quiet and beautiful and the cottage is exactly as it is pictured! We came to the area to run a marathon on the Tunnel Hill Trail and staying at the cottage was just perfect for us. The bed and bedding were so comfortable! Even though the cottage is located behind the main residence, we never heard or saw anyone. It was quiet and private. If we ever make it back to Vienna we will definitely stay at the cottage again.

It was beautiful there we loved the home, the hot tub, the pond, the fountain in the pond and having Luca come and visit us every night we hope to come and stay there again in the fall

Really cute little spot! Perfect for a couple/two people. I would say it’s not big enough to comfortability fit 4 people although there is a pull out couch. The house was super clean and had everything you would ever need. I really appreciated the back area by the pond. It was beautiful and had lots of nice seating to enjoy nature. There were games and a nice TV for entertainment. Plenty of clean towels and blankets to use. We did not have any issues with bugs. I would stay again!

My friend and I met at Jill's cabin for a little catch-up/getaway and enjoyed being surrounded by a variety of farm animals, having lovely trails to explore, all outside the screened porch. The hot tub was well-heated and clean. Overall, a wonderful, relaxing stay and I hope to return!

Our group has stayed at Jim’s place for four years now. Jim is always hospitable, the lodge is always very clean, and has all the listed amenities. The beautiful surroundings make our weekend very special, quaint, and relaxing. We are able to cook efficiently. We are hopeful to be back next year.

Lovely place for a family to stay while visiting Carbondale. Thank you!

we have been coming to the cabin for the last 4 years while my son was in college. it's sad that today was our last visit. it is the perfect stay. close to everything! perfect little cabin for your getaway! if we ever come back to Missouri we know where we're staying!!!

It was very comfortable, peaceful, and private. We loved being in the woods with nature and birds surrounding us. Connie and Jack were so kind, helpful and friendly. There are many beautiful locations close by to hike and enjoy nature. We ate great food at Shotgun Eddies and Diver Down. We brought wine home from Hogg Hollow winery and chocolate from the Chocolate Factory. We plan to visit this location again soon. Donna & Ken

This was such a beautiful place to stay. Private, peaceful, gorgeous surroundings. The cabin itself was comfortable and cozy. The hosts were responsive. Truly a beautiful stay; we will be coming back next time we are in southern Illinois!

This place was exactly what we needed! We were looking to get away from home for a couple nights and we're interested in fishing and hiking. We stayed in the lakeside cabin so my kids and husband could fish as much as they wanted! We caught bass and bluegill, but saw a few catfish that were too sneaky! Saw lots of wildlife including turtles, deer, buffalo, elk, donkeys and a zebra! The location was close enough to all of our hiking destinations. We did Garden of the God's on our way to the cabin, then did Ferne Clyffe State Park and Jackson Falls (both about 30 minutes from the location). Loved that they are pet friendly so my pup could come along for the adventure. We would recommend staying here and would definitely be interested in staying again!

Very comfy and clean space. Fun decor. And the washer/dryer was a big plus! Would stay again.

This is a perfect little cottage near the lake. It had everything we needed, including nice outdoor patio spaces for eating and a big firepit. You can't see much of the lake from the cottage, but it's easy to get to - across a quiet road and down a very long flight of stairs. There's a nice big dock for fishing, swimming, star gazing at night, boating, and just relaxing and enjoying the view (it's a particularly scenic section of the lake because there is no development on the other side of the water - just forest!). We loved having access to kayaks and enjoyed fishing off the dock. Would love to return in summer when we can swim and do even more water activities!

This was one of the nicest airbnbs we’ve stayed at in all our years of travel. It was so well appointed and clean. We will definitely be coming back. Super cozy and lovely surroundings. Thank you!

Really enjoyed Gram's cabin. So peaceful and loved the front porch. Close to wineries and state parks. We visit this area multiple times a year. Went to Bald Knob Cross of Peace and got some great night photos. We felt right at home and will come back.

this is my second time staying with Tom and he has out done himself again

Fantastic week staying in this cabin in the Shawnee National Forest. Great location for quickly getting to various highlights in the region. The log cabin is outfitted very well with Native American decor and has a great kitchen and outdoor grill with a Kroger less than 10 minutes away. The hot tub and fire pit were great for unwinding at night. We look forward to returning for more hikes and vineyards in the area in the fall and would definitely stay here again.

Spacious, well stocked and clean. Private setting but still close to town. Lots of activities such as the Wii, basketball hoop game and cornhole in the garage. The primary bed is a little firm and very high. Amazing deck overlooking the trees. Close to giant city state park and an easy drive to fern Clyffe. Was a great stay for a long weekend!
