The Shady Roost | Cozy Cabin w/ Hot Tub & Fire Pit

10/10 Excellent
"We wanted a place “to get away from it all.” We got our wish and then some. The cabin is beautifully decorated and clean yet so very comfortable and quiet tucked into the hills of gorgeous Southeastern Illinois. We spent a lot of time relaxing and enjoying the cabin. We also got out and saw some of the sites and natural beauty of the area. The hostess thinks of everything. We will be back."

"Six adult family members ages 23 to 71 stayed at The Roundhouse for a beautiful weekend adventure. Everyone had a fabulous time!! The grounds and house were very well cared for and Allison, our hostess, checked on us throughout our stay. Spent most of our time enjoying the amenities on the property (beautiful views, pond, fire pit, hot tub) but also appreciated the close proximity to hiking options and local eateries. Go visit…you won’t be disappointed!"
