Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Southern Precinct

We are returning visitors to the Farmhouse. Jessica is an excellent hostess and provides a lovely place to stay. We highly recommend staying there.

House is very comfortable, clean, and roomy. The outside areas are bigger in person! Lots of bird watching and fun surprise of small lizards while hanging out by the firepit. We did lots of hiking activities nearby, but if you visit during inclement weather, they have lots of games at the house to keep everyone entertained!

It was such a cute, clean, and perfectly convenient place to stay. Not far from the city and campus, but enough space from the city to be comfortable and quiet. I would 10/10 recommend!!!

Beautiful country setting with lots to do on the property for my adult family of 5. The pool table, hot tub, and fire pit were wonderful!! We were just minutes away from dinner and a grocery store. We were just 20 minutes from hiking at the Garden of the Gods. We landed at Kevin's after a 4 day, 3 night back country hike and could not have been more comfortable! It was a wonderful place to relax and recharge.

Beautiful location, quiet, relaxing, fun for kids & adults!

We had a wonderful stay to celebrate our son’s Gotcha Day. Having the lake in your backyard was both relaxing and fun. The canoe was used every day. The house had so many little “treasures” to look at. And no matter where you looked, there were signs telling you to relax. We really enjoyed everything. We have stayed at many properties over the years and Bell is one of the best hosts we have had. We plan on coming back.

Nate was a tremendous host! I sincerely don’t have any complaints! You won’t regret it if you need to stay in the area!

Tim and Melissa's place was very clean and comfortable. The surroundings were quiet and peaceful. All the hiking where we wanted to go was an easy drive from their place. We will definitely be staying here again, if we want to come back to the Shawnee.

I normally don’t stay at Airbnb’s, being a camper, but I was pleasantly surprised. Dawn is a great host and I would recommend her Place to anyone.

It was the best day the couple was so wonderful to me and my family. I would say there again.

This studio apartment was perfect for an overnight stay. The description on Airbnb was accurate, we loved the lake inspired theme and the bed was comfortable. The location was great with little to no noise, the pizza shop (next door) was closed and we did not hear any noise from the tattoo shop above the apartment. We would recommend this place to anyone needed a safe place to stay overnight. Bonus it’s pet friendly!

Very nice location. You can walk down to the water and enjoy the marina. The location is very private. I very much enjoyed my stay.

It was a great private location surrounded by nature, close to restaurants. A very beautiful stay and it felt like home. The hostess was very kind and understanding when our dog had an accident. We had such an amazing time.

Great place to stay and within walking distance to great restaurant. Deb was amazing to work with and very responsive. Beds were comfortable and we had a great time. We will definitely stay here again.

I was surprised at just how big the space actually was. For an upstairs unit, it felt like a whole house. The hot tub was AMAZING! You can hear noises and people around you pretty easily, but it didn’t bother us at all. We enjoyed the stay 💕💕

Property was very clean and just perfect for our group of 10. Close to the lake (short drive away) and plenty of relaxing outdoor space for grilling, hanging out and enjoying time with family and friends.

My husband I stayed at Linda’s adorable place on a cross-country move. We had driven 13 hours when we arrived and maps delivered us easily. The cottage (best word I can use to describe) was clean and filled with adorable vintage artistic items. My exhausted husband was willing to head into Carbondale for pizza and it was an easy trip there and back (16 mins. Each way). This was a wonderful oasis for us on our journey.

This place was literally perfection! The home was so well thought out, and the small things that the host did really stood out. The location is perfect for a few days away from busy lives and just a slower pace of life. It’s the kind of place you want to tell everyone about but also keep it as your secret getaway. We will be back Hope around the fall. I can only imagine how stunning it is then!

Really enjoyed Gram's cabin. So peaceful and loved the front porch. Close to wineries and state parks. We visit this area multiple times a year. Went to Bald Knob Cross of Peace and got some great night photos. We felt right at home and will come back.

The cabin was nice and clean! It was a great location. About 3 miles from my best friend‘s house. Thanks for your hospitality!

Was looking for a quiet get away to go explore the Shawnee National Forest. Came across this place and it looked perfect. On arrival, it was exactly as described but even better! Accommodations were excellent.Lots of blankets, loved the decor, bed was COMFORTABLE, the covered porch was perfect to sit out on and look at the pond- even when it was raining. I cannot say enough about this place. Perfect. Will be back! Thank you to Travis for the perfect setting and for being an amazing host!

Our group has stayed at Jim’s place for four years now. Jim is always hospitable, the lodge is always very clean, and has all the listed amenities. The beautiful surroundings make our weekend very special, quaint, and relaxing. We are able to cook efficiently. We are hopeful to be back next year.

A wonderful little place to enjoy nature on the covered porch (especially while raining) with a lovely little creek just below. Nice layout for staying and entertaining guests. Owner was very responsive and accommodating.

This weekend was truly a slice of heaven for both Doug & I. From being over loaded for over a year at work to deaths in the family, kids and home life...we were looking for a private, peaceful getaway to distress and Miss Donna's cabin was absolutely amazing. from the charming decor to the smell of the cedar, the birds in the morning to frogs and crickets at night, it was so relaxing and peaceful. Its not far from Burden Falls, Garden of the Gods and many other trails and activities! or if you're looking for a quiet little retreat to post up at for the weekend, this is perfect!! we will definitely be back, probably August! Thank you for your amazing and warm hospitality! Doug, Jax and I appreciate you sharing your slice of heaven! see you soon!
