Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Murphysboro

A wonderful little place! Quaint & tucked away; only a 10-15m ride into town. Candace made the two of us feel right at home and had great recommendations. The backyard is a birders paradise! Great home base for multiple Shawnee sights & wineries; would definitely revisit.

We had a group of 15 and this home was absolutely perfect for our stay! There’s a ton of gathering space, especially in the living room where the large couch and footrest easily accommodated everyone. The multiple dining areas upstairs also made mealtimes easy and comfortable. The kitchen was incredibly well-stocked — we cooked every meal for all 15 of us without any issues. Having the extra fridge downstairs was a huge plus for storing all our food and drinks. The outdoor area is truly picturesque. We loved lounging on the deck, soaking in the peaceful surroundings, and listening to the local wildlife. All of the bedrooms were spacious, and it was a huge bonus that everyone upstairs had their own bathroom. The home had everything we needed and more — highly recommend for large groups!

Loved the little red inn! It was peaceful, quiet, secluded, and overall the perfect getaway for my husband and I that wasn’t too far from home. It was so nice being in the woods, surrounded by nature and away from the hustle and bustle of town. Simi was a great host and we definitely recommend staying here and hope to stay again one day.

This house was charming, clean, and comfortable. The location suited our needs while visiting the Shawnee NF, Giant City State Park, and Marion’s Mandala Gardens. We loved the drawers, closet space, and hooks that allowed us to unpack our suitcases during our stay. The kitchen was well-appointed with plenty of dishes and pans for the 5 of us. It was nice having no parking worries as the driveway accommodated our 2 vehicles. We would be happy to stay here again when visiting the area.

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful weekend celebrating his birthday at Amy’s place! It was so cute and cozy and she made us feel right at home. Everything, including the dock and kayaks were super accessible. It was perfectly clean and welcoming and I would 100% recommend to anyone wanting a classic Midwest getaway!

Kevin’s place was PERFECT!! Super cozy & CLEAN! Our family loved the peaceful, secluded location. Kevin quickly responded any time I had a question and gave us several good recommendations. Our pups felt right at home too. We look forward to staying here again!

If you are looking for a nice old house in a neat little town this is it. We had our family visit us from the area and it was a perfect place to host from. The kitchen was well stocked and made cooking a breeze. Also the host was very responsive to any questions we had about the house and the area. We will definitely stay here again if we will be in the area!

Everything was great! Loved the house! Would stay again!

It was a beautiful apartment with a nice location in Downtown Du Quoin!

Judson and Betsy were lovely! So kind and went the extra mile to make us feel at home. The place was super cute, and in a beautiful location next to the woods (we saw some cool wildlife). They included anything you could possibly need, from kitchen supplies to first aid to an iron and ironing board.

This was a really nice place to stay. Quiet. Easy to get in and out. Close to the lake and things you may need in town. The inside was neat , packed with cute little car things. It would be perfect for a smaller family. It was a little tight with our big family but we still made it work ! They have just about everything you would need . Very convenient. The host was amazing, answered quickly and very friendly. 10/10 I would recommend staying here

We absolutely loved staying here!! Very clean and quiet, peaceful and beautiful!! Everything we needed was at the place and everything was super cute and very clean. I really appreciated Tammy’s little binder of instructions and recommendations for places to go and enjoyed the coffee bar. They really thought of everything!! Pictures looked like the stairs were outside, but I was pleasantly surprised to see they are indoors. I will say for future guests, GPS (we use the Waze app) lead us to a completely different private address. We passed the street the place was on so I easily knew where to go, just don’t trust GPS! Street sign is very visible thankfully and be prepared for gravel roads and a fun backwoods experience with gorgeous scenery. We loved it, so breathtaking, secluded and just what we needed! Would definitely stay here again!

The place was exactly as listed. Very clean, quiet and spacious. Will definitely consider staying here again when coming back to the area. (Highly recommend Martel's Pizza! 4 minutes down the street)

Ashley and her lakefront rental were both amazing! She made check in and out so seamless and easy , place was juys wayt we needed As makanda girl I really enjoyed the peaceful private yet safe neighborhood feel a lot It was wonderful to sit on that bench and watch the sunset over the lake and was so serene Hope to stay there again sometime Ashley was great

Anna's listing was just as described. Nice place out of town. Anna was very friendly and responsive. She worked with me on entrance due to a funeral; which I greatly appreciated!

Had a great time and Patrick and Jennifer’s place in Carterville! Very clean, looked to be newly renovated, exactly as described. The instructions to find the drive and get into the house were clear and easily followable. Comfortable furniture and spotless amenities. Nice lil neighborhood, it felt quite peaceful and safe. I didn’t really need to reach out to our Hosts for anything, they had everything covered for us. STL was only a little over 2 hours away, and we took a day trip there. Lots of hiking, lakes to swim, and local restaurants around Carterville as well.
