Due to Covid, all of our vacations for the year were cancelled. We were looking for someplace to go and do something and yet not be around many other people. We had never been to this part of southern IL before. The cabins are in a perfect location, close to lots of hiking areas: Rim Rock, Garden of the God's, Pounds Hallow, etc. We stayed in Coyote Hollow. It was a nice little cabin with an outside fire pit and gas grill. We used both. There were some cute x-mas lights on the front porch and deck that looked nice lighted at night. We were happy to find two roasting sticks in the cabin. (Some families might prefer more than 2 sticks.) There were also a few lighters which helped getting a fire started. Plenty of free firewood too. The best part was NO mosquitos during our stay!! The property was VERY beautiful and well maintained! We LOVED the animals and we visited them every day. There was even a small garden we could pick veggies from and some additional trails on the property we had wished we'd found sooner. It was contactless from check in to check out and all of the cabins were spaced well from each other so we really felt like we were the only ones on the property. Cell service in the area was very limited, however the cabins did have fiber optic wi-fi. A few 'cons': the bathroom floor in our cabin was pretty worn and could be replaced, the mattresses were just 'ok', we would have preferred the kitchen/appliances be cleaned better, some of the outside furniture by the fire and some deck furniture was quite worn and could definitely be replaced and the cabin could be a little more updated. All this being said, we've already discussed going back another time to this same cabin or to try out some of the other ones. It was a nice and relaxing get away!! There is a lot to do in the area!…

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Rimrock dogwood cabins. The cabins had all we needed for our family and dogs. My daughter especially liked the farm animals and I loved spending evenings around the fire pit. Plus the area hikes were beautiful and not crowded.

My wife and I and our pooch are currently here and have nothing but good to say! They have thought of everything you may need and provided it. The only thing you need to bring is food, charcoal (although there is a propane grill provided as well) and any personal items you may want. Cabins are clean, well stocked and in a beautiful setting. The check in and check out is about as easy as you can make it! I wont list all the things they have here in case you bring children but there are plenty of things to do nearby and they provide a book with listings that give names, locations, how far from campsite, as I said they thought of everything. Plenty of hiking and such close by.The cabin we are in is very "rustic"l and comfortable (and clean). We are in one of the smaller cabins (Cougar Bluff) and although a little tight with a big dog we love it. I had asked prior to arrival if the thermostat was accessable because my wife gets cold easy and when we showed up the heater was on and we came in to a toasty cabin! Thank you for all the thought you put into the visitors and their wants, great job!!!…

We stayed at the Deer Creek cabin at Rim Rock. The cabin was great! Very well stocked with everythin we needed, and close to the Garden of the Gods area of the Shawnee National Forest. Beautiful setting in the woods with no neighbors close by. Every amenity was thought out and provided!

We rented Deer Run, Cougar Bluff and Bears Den. There are trails all around. We hiked all over the place. Our Grand-children loved the animals. I think the favorite was the donkey's. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The Cabins are close to the Garden of the God's. Also Pounds Hollow Lake was just two miles away. We were going to hike there but decided to drive with all the kids. This was a Birthday trip for me from my kids. Our group had eight adults and ten children ranging in age from 17 to 1 years old. There was something for everyone to enjoy. The Owners were great and even took a family picture for us. We will be back. So peaceful and private. Loved everything about our stay. Thank you for having such a wonderful place for our family to go, feel safe and no one was bored.
