    Great place - we will come back!
This little cabin in the outskirts of Carbondale is a wonderful getaway place. Very clean, beautiful location, exactly what we needed for a couples weekend in the winter. The bed is super comfortable, fully equipped kitchen, great hot tub. Close to town also, if you need to run out for something. We will definitely come back!

    Relax, unwind, and soak in Nature
Such a treasure of an outdoor woodland experience with the bonus of a hot tub and a gorgeous view in Southern IL wine country. So relaxing and rejuvenating.... Cozy and not too rustic. Close to town and Kite Hill winery, but private.

    Vacation
Woodland Cabins are so amazing! My husband and I enjoyed the most peaceful and tranquil week! We enjoyed the wildlife, feeding the turtles and birds, and a fire every evening! We are already planning on returning next year! Jim is wonderful making sure we had everything we needed!

    70h birthday celebration
My best friend and I were celebrating our 70th birthdays at Woodland cabins. We stayed in Southern Comfort and it was one of the best vacations I've had. The cabin was beati8ful and very clean with all the amenities even washer/dryer. We had a slight problem when we got there and Jim was there in less then fifteen minutes and called and had our problem fixed within an hour. Outside of the excellent service, the grounds, hot tub and turtles made our stay delightful. I hope to go back next year for an entire week no just five days.

    We’ll be back!
This was our 2nd visit to Woodlands Cabins and we’ll definitely be back! So comfortable so relaxing. Everything you could want for a weekend getaway. And so close to the Shawnee Wine Trail. Feeding the turtles was so cool!

    Great getaway
Great cabin, very clean and has everything you need to feel at home. Nice view of lake and trees, fire pit, and a deck. Only rents to couples, so it’s very quiet and you can’t see the other cabins, close to town.

    Impeccably clean and cozy!
Woodland Cabins is a great spot for a couple to get away. The Woodsong cabin is tasteful, cozy, and impeccably clean. We enjoyed the pond and feeding the birds and the many turtles! Thanks for including the bird and turtle food!

    Woodsong Cabin, heaven on Earth
Comfortable relaxing cabin with all the amenities you need except for WIFI. But, we lived without it and enjoyed the ambiance of this woodland paradise. Loved birdwatching and chilling out on the deck. Hot tub was a plus and had a great view of the pond. Went to Giant City State Park and had a wonderful lunch in the lodge. Also took the wine trail and bought wine at the Peachbarn Winery which is owned by one of my former students. So if you want a neat excursion in southern Illinois come to Woodland Cabins just outside of Carbondale and soak in the good country Living. John & Carol Graham

    Lovely and Beautiful!
We have stayed at Woodland Cabins, specifically Fern Glen Cabin, 3 different times. We love it! It is secluded, quiet, beautiful-regardless of season- and always clean and neat. We enjoy the hot tub, relaxing in such a lovely setting. We see deer, various birds, and turtles in the small lake. We will continue to make trips to Woodland Cabins in the years ahead.

From the easy to use  website, online booking , to an even better first impression once we arrived. The cabin had everything you needed and more. Fully equipped kitchen, great shower, cozy and clean. Even the linens were so nice! Peaceful,  easy getaway and the best part -FREE FIREWOOD provided, nicely stacked and cut.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We love visiting the Woodland Cabins.  We have visited twice, once in October and again in January.  It is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the environment.  Our first visit, we visited all of the sites and wineries.  Our second visit, we just stayed at the cabin and relaxed.  I highly recommend this get away. We will be back!!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve gone to Woodland Cabins for the past three winters. The cabins and setting are beautiful. Their customer service is excellent. They are dedicated to taking care of people. I had a family issue that affected my last stay. Not only were they understanding, but they granted me a credit for my next stay. I can’t recommend Woodland Cabins highly enough. Give them a try. You won’t be disappointed. I’m making a reservation for next summer tomorrow.

 recommends My wife and I have stayed here twice.  Both, we stayed in Fern Glen.  The owners really take care of the property and care about your comfort while there.  It’s so peaceful and beautiful.  The wildlife is at your door and serenity all around.  Every couple should take advantage!

 recommends Just came back from a weekend at the white tail cabin with my boyfriend. The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s a beautiful cabin and the surrounding area is just gorgeous! We really enjoyed feeding the turtles, they were so funny to watch and there was so many of them that came once we started throwing the food out. We saw several deer, including a fawn that walked along the edge of the lake right in front of us last evening. The hot tub was so relaxing and very clean and well kept. As was the entire cabin, very peaceful and comfortable and clean and well kept. We only visited one winery but there’s so many to choose from. We will definitely be back and highly recommend these cabins to anyone looking for a relaxing, romantic getaway.

  This getaway was a life saver.  After some research and comparison on other options in the area, I set up a reservation online.  The pictures of the interior (and exterior) looked amazing.  We stayed in the Woodsong cabins.  The accommodations were great, and everything was very clean and functional.  It was very comfortable - the atmosphere, the furniture, and view.  

We were lucky to have nice weather in February and used the jacuzzi all weekend as well as sat outside.  It was delightful to get full use of the layout and grounds.  The location is close to Carbondale so very convenient for food/entertainment or grocery shopping.  

If you want a weekend getaway that's just close enough to resources and shopping but still rural - Woodland Cabins is the perfect place.

  We didn't want to leave. I almost didn't - seriously. If I didn't have so much work to come home to, we would have spontaneously stayed an extra night.

You'll feel like home here. We stayed in the Fern Glen cabin which is a little further away from the other 3 that are closer together and on a pond.

We were just there this past weekend (in December), and they had a Christmas tree in the living room! It was a wonderful surprise that really rounded out the experience. The fireplace is awesome. There is a fire pit outside, but we didn't have the chance to use it. We DID have the chance to use the hot tub (twice), which was awesome! There's something about being able to soak in a hot tub outside in the middle of December. It was very clean and a nice hot tub.

Inside the cabin, they have everything you need. Full kitchen, huge bathroom, plenty of pillows/blankets, plus a TV and DVD player if you feel like it.

Oh, and a grill on the back deck! I grilled steaks our first night there. For ~$155/night, you get a ton of value here.  I can't wait to go back! It's a great place to stay if you're heading down for the winery trail.

  This place is awesome. A quaint surprise just a few minutes from Carbondale. The cabins are very nice, very clean and has everything you could possibly need for a romantic get away. If you need a little time away, I would highly recommend

  My fiance' bought me a gift certificate for Woodland Cabins for Christmas.  We were able to cash it in last weekend.

Well..  I should say, she THOUGHT it was last weekend.  Turns out, we drove four hours to find that our cabin was in use!  We got nervous and called the number on the card.   Their customer service was spectacular and helpful.  They just happened to have a free cabin next door that we could use.  It turned out that my fiance' had written down the wrong weekend and the owners of WC made it no problem at all.

The cabin itself was beautiful inside and out!  Everything was well laid out, spacey, tons of windows, comfy and loaded with amenities.  We didn't know where to start- fireplace, giant deck, walk thru the woods, hot tub. fire pit, cozy couch with some cable or cook ourselves up some dinner?

We chose to walk the grounds and were rewarded with seeing a slow moving opossum, a bunch of deer, a skunk and tons of birds.  It was very relaxing.

At the end of our trip, freezing rain had come thru and stranded us in the cabin.  While i was kind of hoping we'd just have to stay another day, the owner called us a tow and pulled us out very quickly.  He even covered the tow charge!

The cabins are very comfortable and relaxing.  They're build quality is top notch too.  But it doesn't stop there.  Their prices are reasonable and their customer service is the stuff you can write business How To books about.

We'll be headed down again as soon as we can to finish off the second half of the wine trail!

  excellent retreat.  so serene and quiet.  i really had a great time there.  really would recommend this to anyone who just wants a weekend out.  it was well-priced, the cabins were completely welcoming and well-equipped with amenities including generous cookware and spice cabinet.  Loved the hot tub and Jacuzzi.  They even have cable if you really want to watch TV.  Also, owner (Penny I think) is very sweet.  We broke a glass and she said it was okay and didn't charge us.  Why does that have to happen when you're a guest?
