The wood-burning stove and a fully-equipped kitchen with microwave are just some of the many amenities, not to mention the free coffee and popcorn. The cabin has air conditioning, central heating and is non-smoking inside.

Privacy and comfort are the key aspects to this unique property. There is no Wifi and cell phone reception is very limited but functional outside the cabin. The beauty and serenity of our log cabin with cathedral ceilings, wood stove and immense decking is unsurpassed. We offer a fully furnished kitchen, 2 twin beds in one room, queen beds in each of the remaining 2 bedrooms. The loft area has folding bed that can sleep one adult or child. The cabin is literally surrounded by wood decks and acres of trees. Don't get lost in the 25 acre back yard!
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cabin, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.

Great Brothers Weekend
This property was actually better than I was expecting. Let me explain. This property had everything that you would need in case you forgot something. It was absolutely perfect for our group. We had a great time and plenty of room. We spent hours on the front porch alone, talking drinking a cold one and reminiscing. Thank you, Mr. Morentin,

Cabin getaway
This is our second time staying here. The cabin is a 25 minute drive from Starved Rock and Matheissien Park, but has the great amenities of home. The owner supplies everything for a comfortable stay: bedding, pillows, blankets, towels, kitchen cooking wares, utensils, paper goods ( including toilet paper, paper towels, paper plates, and plastic ware), a charcoal grill, a large TV with DVD players, and tons of DVDS to borrow. It has AC, which was key, because it was in the 90’s for our stay. They also offer a fire pit. My only complaint…there was no firewood. If you are looking for a family friendly cabin, close to Starved Rock…this is it.

perfect getaway
Great place to stay when you need a getaway in nature. beautiful property with a space to do some exploring out back, has all the amenities you need in the kitchen, laundry, and hangout spaces. short drive to town to get supplies if needed, but we just brought everything with us and hunkered down for a gaming/hiking weekend. The owner was communicative and thoughtful as well. Highly recommend!

Yes when I first arrived I was like wow that is a lot of wood. Definitely very spacious and plenty of room for activities. I was amazed by the presence of the home. Love it. Very quiet outside and plenty of seating for all views around the home. Overall very pleased with the place.

Peaceful remote cabin set in the woods
Four girlfriends from high school in our 50's met here for a fun get together. We hiked in the area, ate, drank and shopped. The cabin was a perfect ending to our day! We will be back! There is nothing we can recommend to make it better! Thank you Shelby ❤️ And...thanks for being understanding when we checked out and one of us locked her keys in her trunk and we had to come back later for her car! That was an unexpected ending to our trip, but it allowed us to have breakfast in town while waiting on her husband to arrive with the spare key 😀 We cant thank you enough for being patient!

Great Spot in the Woods
I stayed here with a small group of friends and it was the perfect spot for us. We enjoyed being outside on the expansive deck and were even able to enjoy a rainstorm on the covered front porch. A short walk into the woods provided the adventure of exploring while still being able to see the cabin. We talked about coming back again even while we were there. In all, a great vacation location.

Can't wait to go back!
We loved our stay Buck's cabin. The place is clean and well maintained. The beds were super comfortable and just what we needed after a 3 hour hike. We had just walked in and settled down and were already discussing when we should come back. Shelby is a wonderful host and great communicator. Thank you so much for sharing your space.

Great stay at Cabin in the woods
Stayed here with a few friends as we were hiking around starved rock, it was perfect. Lovely old cabin, very comfortable and totally secluded in the trees. Asked for there to be charcoal and bbq and was there ready for us. Shelby was an excellent host who communicated very easily. Would recommend to anyone who likes the outdoors! Will return soon again I hope.
