Cabin vacation rentals in Rend Lake

Jen is a fantastic host. The place is wonderful, plenty full of things around if you forget something she has you covered with most essentials. The only thing that could of went better for us is the weather. It rained hard the whole time we stayed but we still had a wonderful time, this place works for bad weather and staying indoors. The final day was sunny when loading up to leave, we caught a big Bluegill before leaving . She is planning on putting in a dock and that will make this place much better even know it's already perfect. Thanks for sharing your home and we will return soon. We had a great time!

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.

We enjoyed exploring the many beautiful parks in the region, relaxing on the huge deck, playing pool in the game room, cooking together in the large kitchen, kayaking, frisbee golf practice, and hiking the property. We had a great stay with no issues and made family memories at this beautiful house. The house is set up well for visitors (e.g., light switches labeled) and has all the amenities one would expect when booking an Air BnB. Thanks for hosting, Mark!

This was by far the best little vacation we have had in a long time. The cabin was perfect for two of us. The lake with the canoe made for perfect fishing. I was able to travel around the property on foot. Very private and beautiful. The owner Tony is very nice, attentive, and seems like a wonderful guy. The owners really have provided everything you could think of. Loved everything about our stay and are already trying to find dates to come out again!

Great stay, even in winter! Loved the view and tranquility of the area! Allison responded quickly when needed. Would want to come back in spring/summer to see what the lake has to offer!

My husband and I had such a lovely trip to this cabin. It was literally perfect. The area is so private, peaceful, and super spacious! We could not recommend this Airbnb enough!! Jensena is super kind, accommodating, and responsive! She even left us some goodies when we arrived, and the cabin was spotless! The pictures are stunning, but nothing compared to the home in person! If you are thinking about renting it, do it!!!

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!

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.

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.

I have been on Airbnb for over 10 years and as frequent So. IL guests, this is our most favorite house ever. Hannah is kind and caring, and she keeps things simple (which other hosts could learn from). No big book of rules or requirements - this is how it should be on vacation! We immediately felt comfortable, welcome/at home, for our extended travel. This house meets all of our needs and our main priorities: well-equipped throughout, comfortable furniture and beds, clean, private, firepit w/wood, and what really stood out for us was the QUIET! We were so pleased that it's the quietest area we've ever stayed - no sounds of loud people - just beauty, along with a wide variety of songbirds, a pair of owls, an evening-visiting deer, and a small babbling brook. How idyllic and enchanting! The perfect place to come back to, after days exploration, to relax and meditate on life. I prepared all but one meal here, we had a wonderful fire one night and enjoyed rainfall from the covered porch.

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

Beautiful cabin in a beautiful setting.

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!

We had a great time & really enjoyed the cabin! The place is very nice, well kept, & super peaceful. Of course the best part was the hot tub. It was very clean, easy to use, & very relaxing! We will be back!

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!

This place was exactly what I was looking for — somewhere private to unwind. The location was secluded but still close enough to other amenities and activities. Jess was the perfect host and clearly communicated all information about the property before our arrival. She checked on us during our stay and reached out afterwards as well.

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.

The little cabin was absolutely perfect for some much needed down time. It had everything I needed and wanted. Christi was helpful with making hiking recommendations as well.

Cute, cozy, and peaceful cabin with great views! The cabin was easy to find, was super clean and cute when we arrived, and the hot was very responsive to any questions we had! The wildflower cabin was so beautiful and just what we needed to get away together. The winery was right down the road as well as hiking if you like to do that! We enjoyed our stay so much!

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!!!
