Blokhutten in Zuidoost-Illinois

'My family and I really liked "Our Neck of the Woods" cottage. We were returning home from a vacation in Michigan to St Louis and thought I'd be fun to go into Casey, IL to see all the world's biggest attractions before closing the book on vacation 2026. This property is quiet and welcoming. We had dinner at Richard's Farm Restaurant and it was excellent. We also saw a deer 10 yards from the cottage out back and a muskrat in the pdnd below along with other bird wildlife. Thank you for sharing...

'We had such an awesome stay at the Shawnee Apple Shack. It was so cute, clean, and had everything that we needed! There was plenty to do in the Southern Illinois area for the weekend. We definitely recommend staying there and would love to come back sometime!'

'A small converted barn that feels like what it says on the tin. A cozy cabin surrounded by trees. There was a lovely pond on the property and a loft above the kitchen. I loved the trees surrounding the property it offered a lot of privacy. Communication with the owner was fast and effective. The instant check in was great. The only problem was that I wasn't provided with the door code by Expedia, so I had to ask the owner before I could get in. He responded quickly and we had a wonderful time....

'It is a very peaceful environment. Walking the property offers opportunities for quiet reflection , as does simply sitting on the porch overlooking the river.'

'The unit was more than I expected. The cabin was furnished with comfortable seating indoors, a full kitchen, TV, comfortable bed, clean bathroom with a hot shower, and more. I will definitely be booking this place again for another getaway.'

'Pros: quiet little cabin, tucked just inside from a street. Clean & cozy. Cons 1. Mattress: It was too soft & saggy in the middle. Another reviewer mentioned this too. I wasn't able to get a restful night's sleep. Either my knees or neck would be sore in the mornings 2. Not enough brightness / lights: The interior feels dark - with an okay ceiling light, where 1-2 if the bulbs would slowly go dim as tine went on. Kitchen light was brigther.'

'Great place off the beaten path'

'Absolutely beautiful place inside and out. Had everything u could ever need at a place'

'Definitely will come back A+++ . Hot tub was perfect but definitely needs a umbrella for day time soaks. Shawnee is a beautiful place to relax with Nature.'

'Very clean and so cute! Our host responded quickly. It was very peaceful. Just what we were looking for. We would recommend to others.'

'We had a very nice stay. I am really picky about cleanliness. Hot tub was very relaxing!'

'Great location - cabin is nicely equipped with basic necessities. Couldn’t have a fire because of dryness in the area but loved the hot tub for achy muscles and relaxation. Would come again '

'Great little cabin, pefect for our stay! Clean, stocked with everything you could need. Great location, quiet and relaxing!'

'It was a nice getaway, would have given a 5 star except the heat wasn't working well the first night but we got it going in the morning and were great after that '

'Cozy and quiet. Hot tub was wonderful. Hosts very accommodating!'

'Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The treehouse experience was something we wanted to do for a while and this was a beautiful setting. The sheets were soft, the bed was comfortable, and the cabin was clean. We would definitely recommend the treehouse.'
