Most people book a vacation to get away from the crowds, only to end up in a busy hotel sharing a thin wall with loud strangers. If you are driving down to Carbondale for a weekend, you probably want actual silence. You want to hear the water, not the traffic.
That is exactly why Southern Comfort is like almost always booked up. Located right on our three-acre pond, this cabin rental gives you direct access to a hidden open field to the west and a private deck that sits literally inches from the water.
Here is exactly what you need to know about this specific property before you lock in your dates.
Is the Southern Comfort Cabin Designed Mainly for Couples or Also for Families?
You might want to leave the kids at home for this one. Unlike our Black Bear or Lakeview units that feature sleeper sofas, Southern Comfort features a studio layout centered around a massive king-size bed. It is built from the ground up to be a completely private, romantic retreat or a quiet solo escape.
The maximum occupancy is firmly capped at two guests. You get total privacy, a gas log fireplace, and zero distractions. If you are trying to squeeze in a family of four, you will need to look at other properties on the grounds, because this one is for couples looking to unplug.
Does the Cabin Include a Full Kitchen for Cooking Meals During the Stay?
You don’t have to leave the property to find a decent meal if you don’t want to. While Carbondale has great local restaurants, Southern Comfort comes completely outfitted with a fully equipped kitchen so you can handle breakfast, lunch, and a massive dinner without ever leaving your secluded spot.
We supply all the heavy appliances, pots, pans, and utensils you need to actually cook a meal, rather than just reheating leftovers in a microwave. You have the exact same setup you would expect in a normal house, making it incredibly easy to pack your own groceries and stay off the grid for the entire weekend.
We even take care of stocking the basic, everyday essentials so you don’t have to make an annoying emergency run to the store. You will find complimentary coffee, creamer, sugar, salt, pepper, and plenty of paper towels already waiting on the counters when you unlock the front door.
Is the Private Hot Tub at Southern Comfort Cabin Available Year-Round?
Yes, sitting in steaming water while the snow falls is honestly one of the best experiences we offer at the property. The private outdoor hot tub at Southern Comfort is up and running 365 days a year, so you can lock in a winter getaway just as easily as a summer retreat.
We take hygiene incredibly seriously, which means we fully drain, scrub, and sanitize the water between every single guest. Because of this extreme deep cleaning process, the water might still be climbing to that perfect steaming temperature right when you pull the cover off at your 3 PM check-in, but you know for a fact it is pristine.
Can Guests Fish in the Three-Acre Pond Directly From the Cabin’s Deck?
Absolutely. Southern Comfort is uniquely positioned right on the edge of the water, featuring a completely separate wood deck and fire pit located just inches from the pond. You can literally step out your door, walk down the custom path, and cast a line without ever having to get in your car.
The three-acre pond is quiet, making it perfect for an afternoon of fishing, tossing food to the local turtles, or just sitting by the fire pit. We even supply the chopped firewood for you, so all you have to do is show up, strike a match, and watch the water.

What Types of Wildlife are Commonly Seen Near the Cabin?
Because Southern Comfort borders a completely hidden, open field to the west, it acts as a natural wildlife corridor. You are not just looking at a manicured lawn; you are sitting right in the middle of an active ecosystem that existed long before we ever built these cabins.
Grab a cup of coffee in the morning and just look out the window. You will regularly spot deer grazing in the high grass, wild turkeys passing through the yard, and red foxes hunting near the tree line. If you are incredibly lucky and keep quiet, you might even spot “Fraidy,” our resident bobcat passing by.

FAQs
Is Firewood Provided for the Fire Pit by the Water?
Yes. We supply the firewood for your private outdoor fire pit so you don’t have to haul heavy bundles in from town or forage in the woods.
Does This Cabin Have Wi-Fi?
We focus on helping you completely unplug. Instead of high-speed remote work internet, the cabin is equipped with a flat-screen TV, a basic DirecTV satellite package, and a Blu-Ray/DVD player with a selection of movies.
Can We Bring Our Dog to Southern Comfort?
We allow up to two non-aggressive dogs on a strict case-by-case basis. You must get approval before arriving, and a non-refundable pet fee ($75 for the first, $50 for the second) applies.
