Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Union County

We were in town for a girls get away with some hiking and Twisted Sister was perfect! Such a beautiful setting and so close to the places we wanted to go. It was super easy to get in, very clean, and had everything we needed to cook for ourselves as we prefer to do. We also enjoyed strawberries from Flamm Orchard, and great hikes at nearby Little Grand Canyon and Cove Hollow, plus of course Giant City State Park. Candace was an excellent hostess. She lives next door but gave us complete privacy. And when I had questions or wanted recommendations she was super responsive. It made us feel safe and cared for. It is so nice that she shares her beautiful property with guests in this way. We will be back!

Jennifer’s place was perfect for what we needed, especially close to the hiking spots we were looking forward to along the Cache River. The house was clean and had lots of local recommendations, snacks, it was much bigger than we expected and Jennifer even reached out about what to do in the event of severe weather when the forecast looked not so great. Highly recommend!

I went to SIUC many many years ago and never visited Giant City. We came down to visit the campus and Giant City and Theresa’s place allowed us to bring our pet and was a great location. It was clean and nicely decorated at a good price.

We enjoyed staying in Mary Ann's home that once belong to her grandparents. Everything was right where we needed it to be. We were on a bicycle tour in Carterville and took advantage of having a nap on the screened in front porch wicker furniture. We were able to cook most of our meals and do laundry before we left for the next location. We would stay there again if we are in the area. Thanks.

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!

David was clear and prompt in communication. The house provided us with all the essentials plus an array of coffee options. It was great to relax and feel disconnected .

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!

Loved staying at this location. So close to restaurants and shops and outdoor adventures. Very quiet. Amazing views of stars. Plenty of sleeping spaces. Very responsive and helpful host!

I decided last minute to see the 2024 eclipse in 100% totality. I drove all the way from Colorado to Marion, IL. All hotels were booked & really expensive. Then I saw Cassie's camping spot. I'm a solo female traveler with a dog & not much of a Camper so I was a little nervous, but this location was so easy to find, and felt very safe. Cassie even provided hotdogs and marshmallows for everyone. This was the perfect location to see the 2024 eclipse in 100% totality. I'll remember this always!

It was well worth the $! I had an amaziiiiing weekend! It’s absolutely beautiful- inside and out! The pool was SUCH a good time, I could’ve stayed in it for days! We grilled out and swam, it’s an unbelievably fun & peaceful experience. The host was extremely responsive, helpful and checked in making sure we had everything the whole stay. I would recommend it for sure! If I could give it 6 stars I would! I will definitely be staying here again!!!

Our stay was amazing. Our host were super accommodating of some special requests we had. The pool house was just we needed to make our two night stay the most memorable for our family.

We stayed at Cassi’s for the 2024 eclipse. The location was so peaceful. We brought our 32’ camper and she said “go anywhere in the back” so we set up in view of the pond. There were 8 others guests in tents. They were all so friendly. The kids loved playing with the dogs and kept talking about Aero and Zep all day after left. (I just realized that those dogs are probably named after Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin) Next time there’s an eclipse that cuts across Cassi’s yard you should definitely stay here! Or if you just want a nice place that’s not far from home.

great place!

Kristine’s house was just as described. The space was great for gathering together to visit and relax. The pool was a great bonus! We would definitely choose this property again when staying in the area.

Loved staying here during the eclipse!!! Wonderful host, enjoyed just chilling and having a great time meeting people from all over!

Wow. If you’re looking to get away from the hustle of life and immerse yourself in nature and peace this is the spot! Close to great hiking spots too! Bonnie was so nice and friendly and even gifted us vegetables she planted and were ready to harvest!

This was a wonderful location. If you are looking to be surrounded by nature and have it right out the balcony up stairs or the wrap around porch downstairs, this is an amazing stay. It has a nice easy layout. With the windows open you can listen to nature while preparing food or just resting. Highly recommend this location.

We really enjoyed our stay in the Wildflower cabin- it was clean, nicely decorated and contained everything we needed to relax and take in the beautiful surroundings. Allison was an excellent host, providing frequent communication and clear directions, to make sure we had everything we needed. We were close to wineries as well as hiking trails. We would definitely return for another stay.

Really enjoyed staying at this Cabin on the Wine Trail. Lovely little place that was just perfect for our "friends weekend away". Will definitely consider staying here again! Convenient to the wineries and Bald Knob Cross of Peace.

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.

Bonnies warmth and compassion was so welcoming! So much beauty created by heart and hands from them. Beautiful surroundings of peaceful woods, trails, main home and of course beautiful souls with big hearts. I absolutely adore the cozy tiny home i stayed in and look forward to staying more again. It truly is a magnificent sacred special place full of peace and love. So accomidating and helpful with recommendations of anything i wanted, needed or might be interested in. Close to beautiful shops. Introduced to friends whom which all were and are helpful in caring and helping like family yet still had my privacy to take walks on the trails in the woods, sit by the pond, and have my cozy quiet time. This place is so much more than I expected and i got to hear their story of how they have built such a beautiful home for them and all welcomed . Open minded and ooen hearts has been vwry special to my heart which i am extremely thankful i found them and this gem .. good medicine.

Beautiful cabin with all the comforts of home. Owner was responsive, friendly and helpful. The town and surrounding area are gorgeous if you want to explore, and there are great restaurants everywhere. Would 100% stay here again.

Fantastic week staying in this cabin in the Shawnee National Forest. Great location for quickly getting to various highlights in the region. The log cabin is outfitted very well with Native American decor and has a great kitchen and outdoor grill with a Kroger less than 10 minutes away. The hot tub and fire pit were great for unwinding at night. We look forward to returning for more hikes and vineyards in the area in the fall and would definitely stay here again.
