Finding a quiet place to unwind is getting harder every season. You want to disconnect from the noise, but you also want a comfortable bed and a warm shower. That is why we brought a fresh type of lodging to Southern Illinois.
We are proud to introduce Serenity and Tranquility to the Woodland Cabins family. These two luxury OOD Mirror Houses offer an experience you will not find anywhere else in the state. They sit right in the middle of the woods, letting you sleep surrounded by nature without giving up any modern comforts.

What Makes These New Mirror Houses So Different?
These are not your average rustic log cabins. We built Serenity and Tranquility using high-performance reflective glass and a tough steel frame, blending Scandinavian architecture right into the local landscape.
- Invisible Exterior Design: The outside of the cabin is made entirely of reflective glass that mirrors the surrounding trees and sky. This allows the building to blend smoothly into the forest, giving you total privacy while you look out at the woods. You never have to worry about anyone peeking in.
- Year-Round Climate Control: The glass reflects most of the harsh summer sun to keep the room cool and comfortable during warmer months. When the weather drops, the built-in heated floors keep your feet warm, making it a wonderful spot to visit during the freezing winter season.
- Floor to Ceiling Woodland Views: You get to wake up to the beautiful sight of the forest canopy right from your plush queen bed. The giant windows let in plenty of natural light without letting anyone outside see into your private living space, giving you a safe and peaceful retreat.
- Private Outdoor Relaxation: Every mirror house comes with a spacious wooden deck and your very own private hot tub. You can soak under the stars after a long hike in the woods, or enjoy your morning coffee while listening to the birds in the surrounding trees.
What Amenities Do the Serenity and Tranquility Cabins Offer?
Stepping inside the 226-square-foot space feels like walking into a high-end studio apartment. We focused on clean and minimalist design, so you feel relaxed the moment you drop your bags. The space feels open and uncluttered, giving your mind a break from the usual daily chaos.
You will find a sleek, modern bathroom featuring a spa-style shower to help you wash off the hiking trail dirt. We also included a well-equipped kitchenette. It has everything you need to put together simple meals if you prefer staying in rather than driving into Carbondale for dinner.
How Do You Plan the Perfect Stay at These Cabins?
Planning your trip is easy since we are located so close to the best outdoor spots. Here are a few quick tips to make your trip better:
- Pack easy-to-cook groceries so you can use the kitchenette and skip the restaurant lines.
- Bring your hiking boots to explore the trails at the nearby Shawnee National Forest.
- Schedule an afternoon to tour the local wineries along the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail.
- Save your evenings for stargazing from the private hot tub on your deck.
