Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Carterville

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!

very nice place to stay. nice pond and pool table for actives and clean

We used this for a few days of spring turkey hunting, very quiet and peaceful. Worked out just as it should have!!! Would definitely use again…. Thanks Joe!

My husband & I enjoyed our stay at Kennedy’s Place. The hosts are super nice & friendly! Rooms are large & appliances are updated! The house is decorated with historic & cute pictures, along with a beautiful picture of Garden of the Gods. Antiques decorate the home, which I love! The backyard is huge & my husband & our dog spent many hours sitting outside & relaxing next to a fire pit. I highly recommend staying at Kennedy’s place! And if you are looking for restaurant recommendations, Morello’s has scrumptious lunch & dinner entries & Mackie’s Pizza has been a favorite of locals. You can even get apples on your pizza! It is delicious!

Quiet spot for my guests. Beautiful home full of history.

My sisters and I came to Carbondale for our family reunion. We wanted to just be us because we all live in different states. I found Laura's home on this website and fell in love. Her home looked EXACTLY like the picture! It was a little far out but it was ABSOLUTELY perfect!! It's was so relaxing and peaceful. Laura was also a GREAT host! She checked on us to make sure we were ok and made herself available if we needed her. Did I mention she had snacks available for the kids!?!! That was so sweet of her to do that!! Her home was very clean and spacious. I would DEFINITELY recommend to anyone that plans to visit the area or to anyone that just needs a peaceful weekend getaway. You will NOT be disappointed!! I definitely plan to book this location 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!

This house is amazing. Breakfast while overlooking the horse pasture, dinner out on the back deck. Everything in the house was spotless! The shower was so great. It had good water pressure! The beds were so comfy, I got the best sleep here. Better than I've gotten in a long time! The pool was clean. My kids enjoyed it, even though it was chilly out! They also enjoyed the games in the garage. My kids loved the popcorn machine, what a fun touch! The location is perfect. It's out in the country, but close enough to other towns that a run to the store doesn't take all day. It's very close to several Rend Lake Day Use Areas, which makes going out fun and easy! 10/10 Will stay again.

The pool alone is worth booking this stay! Absolutely beautiful pool and hot tub, overall very private (just share with homeowners which was no problem), clean, peaceful - feels like a tropical destination in IL!! However, the path (basically a hill) to the pool from the camper is hard to navigate. The camper is more of a camping experience and was difficult for my very tall husband. Bed was too small for him. The kids and I (short wife) had a blast though. Just bring bug spray - there are tics!

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!

This quaint and cozy place was a perfect stay for our road trip. The patio was a great spot to enjoy dinner! The weather wasn’t the best but we made the best of it and did enjoy the pool for a bit.

We loved staying in Kevin's RV. The kids thought the bunk room was really cool. There were 2 adults, 3 kids and 1 infant and we had plenty of room. Everything was as listed and had everything we needed.

We chose to take this trip for our daughters birthday weekend a perfect setting to get away and have the option to camp, fish, swim and able to relax around a peaceful fire while eating smores. The camper had everything we needed very nice and spacious. The beds were very comfy. The area was nice and quiet. We caught fish from the dock. The family was welcoming to the pool area. And cant forget the friendly Pugley. He was for sure a bonus he loves to play fetch.

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.

This was a lovely weekend getaway location, very close to some of southern Illinois' natural wonders! The cabin provided a private and cozy space to stay, cook, and relax. We would love to visit again someday!

Casey’s house is amazing! We had the windows open all weekend because of the weather, and it was so peaceful. Loved the surrounding trees and the comfy screened-in back porch. Casey was the perfect host and very accommodating with my requests. Would 100% stay there again!

It was a beautiful apartment with a nice location in Downtown Du Quoin!

This has been one of the best places I’ve stayed at. If you’re looking for somewhere to get away from everything, this is perfect for you.

The host here is simply amazing! I accidentally left my tumbler cup, a very sentimental one. And they are making sure i get it back! I will definitely be booking here again. The place is very private and peaceful. Like home away from home. I loved sitting on the porch listening to the birds watching my dogs' curiosity go wild.

Had a lovely stay! Feeding the turtles from the porch and canoeing around the pond were the highlight of our trip. We hiked the little grand canyon and visited Scratch Brewery during the day, perfect addition to a relaxing weekend surrounded by beautiful nature.

Staying with Gina was an absolute pleasure! The place was clean, homey and had all the creature comforts we could ask for. Gina herself was incredibly welcoming and even offered for us to use her pool because it was so hot out. Our dogs loved having free range and being able to wander. The morning visit from Gina’s horses was also super sweet. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I’d book there again in a heartbeat!!

This place was absolutely serene! We loved watching the deer and going for morning walks. The home was comfortable and clean and accommodating to 10 people! The kitchen was well stocked. We highly recommend and Keith and Fred were great!
