Shawnee National Forest cabins October 27, 2022 Sarah M. What are some other cabins in Shawnee National Forest? One of Illinois’ most glorious natural wonders, the Shawnee National Forest is impressively huge, and boasts some of the prettiest views in the American Midwest. The sprawling land can be intimidating, but luckily Rustic Hideaway Cabins makes the decision on where to stay easy! Located on 10 acres of land adjoining the forest, these cabins in Shawnee National Forest are great for anyone visiting the popular hiking area. There are two cabins available year-round. Each of the cabins can hold up to four guests, and offer great amenities, such as hot tubs and fireplaces. These charming cabins are made from logs and feature small outdoor porches and sitting areas for bonfires. The digs are so cozy, you might never want to leave your cabin – but if you can tear yourself away for a bit, Shawnee National Forest has some amazingly scenic hiking trails for beginners and advanced hikers alike that will have you swooning over the beauty of the Prairie State. What are some waterfront cabins I can rent in Illinois? There’s nothing like staying in a cabin on the water, right? Happily, the Land of Lincoln boasts numerous bodies of waters that make such a getaway possible! We found a lakefront cabin near Carbondale, Illinois, that not only boasts amazing water vistas, but it also has its very own private beach. If you’re dreaming of a secluded getaway where you can relax, unwind, and enjoy nature, this luxury cabin tucked away in the woods might be just what you’re looking for. It’s just one mile from Carbondale, but it’s surrounded by 30 acres of beautiful wooded property. This spacious home is 2,700 square feet, and it has everything you’ll need to make you feel right at home. All you need to bring is your toothbrush! You’ll love the knotty pine interior and cozy furniture. Curl up in front of the fireplace, and enjoy the 60-inch television with satellite.
