Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Jackson County

What an amazing place to stay! It felt like a luxury private treehouse overlooking a serene forest. Our only regret was not staying longer - we will be back!

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!

Tim’s place is peaceful and a reasonable distance from Kinkaid Lake. We enjoyed the quiet surroundings and amenities provided.

The Weber house was a beautiful home away from home. My group and I spent two lovely days there. The home was very well taken care of; you could tell they had put a lot of time, effort and love into this space. It was extremely inviting, cozy and in pristine condition. Although the town was small, they still provided recommendations for food, shopping and entertainment within the small town as well as some of the surrounding areas. They were friendly and great at communicating. Never felt like we were in the dark about anything, and all expectations were communicated in advance. Highly recommend this property and host!

This was our second visit to Alto Cabin and we love it! It was pretty new when we first went, and now they’ve added a lot more touches that make it great like yard games and more kitchen supplies. We enjoyed lots of day trips for hiking and lounging in the hot tub at night. This is a place to go relax, not a place to go if you want the big city. Carbondale & Marion are both pretty close by and there are stores and a good butcher in Marion. The cabin is well equipped for cooking and has good WiFi for all your screening needs. We needed to contact the host one time for a question and she answered immediately. We are lucky to have found Alto cabin!

We had a group of 15 and this home was absolutely perfect for our stay! There’s a ton of gathering space, especially in the living room where the large couch and footrest easily accommodated everyone. The multiple dining areas upstairs also made mealtimes easy and comfortable. The kitchen was incredibly well-stocked — we cooked every meal for all 15 of us without any issues. Having the extra fridge downstairs was a huge plus for storing all our food and drinks. The outdoor area is truly picturesque. We loved lounging on the deck, soaking in the peaceful surroundings, and listening to the local wildlife. All of the bedrooms were spacious, and it was a huge bonus that everyone upstairs had their own bathroom. The home had everything we needed and more — highly recommend for large groups!

We were four guys on a fishing trip, and Kathy's place was more than we needed and was much more than we expected. Very comfortable, maintained well. If your looking to relax in a quiet beautiful area, this fits the bill. Rooms very comfortable, more than enough bathrooms. Kathy provided some extra touches that we very considerate.

I went to SIUC many many years ago and never visited Giant City. We came down to visit the campus and Giant City and Theresa’s place allowed us to bring our pet and was a great location. It was clean and nicely decorated at a good price.

Tammy was fantastic and kind. The place was great for a weekend of turkey hunting and close enough to get to the city to shop and find other things to do as well. We would stay again.

It was the best day the couple was so wonderful to me and my family. I would say there again.

This was a really nice place to stay. Quiet. Easy to get in and out. Close to the lake and things you may need in town. The inside was neat , packed with cute little car things. It would be perfect for a smaller family. It was a little tight with our big family but we still made it work ! They have just about everything you would need . Very convenient. The host was amazing, answered quickly and very friendly. 10/10 I would recommend staying here

It was a great private location surrounded by nature, close to restaurants. A very beautiful stay and it felt like home. The hostess was very kind and understanding when our dog had an accident. We had such an amazing time.

Ashley and her lakefront rental were both amazing! She made check in and out so seamless and easy , place was juys wayt we needed As makanda girl I really enjoyed the peaceful private yet safe neighborhood feel a lot It was wonderful to sit on that bench and watch the sunset over the lake and was so serene Hope to stay there again sometime Ashley was great

Anna's listing was just as described. Nice place out of town. Anna was very friendly and responsive. She worked with me on entrance due to a funeral; which I greatly appreciated!

Enjoyed the stay for the weekend. Had 2 trucks one pulling a boat and one pulling 2 jet skis and had plenty of room to park. Bedroom has 4 twin size beds and one full sized bed along with a big sectional. Had pots and pans so we could cook. Nice place to stay overall would recommend to a friend

Tracy was easy to reach and very responsive and helpful w any questions. She was very hospitable but not intrusive. Her place/neighborhood felt safe. As a female traveling alone that was very notable to me.

This cabin was such a gem of a find. It's private, quiet, and surrounded by both nature and close by bucket list places to check out while you're in town. I never had to travel further than 30 minutes for any place I wanted to check out. The hot tub was clean and easy to use. The cabin itself was clean with everything I needed. I would highly recommend this listing as a place to stay if you're looking for a home away from home.

Beautiful place! Second time I’ve stayed and they are always super friendly! They make sure you aren’t having any issues especially if there is any change in the weather.

This place was literally perfection! The home was so well thought out, and the small things that the host did really stood out. The location is perfect for a few days away from busy lives and just a slower pace of life. It’s the kind of place you want to tell everyone about but also keep it as your secret getaway. We will be back Hope around the fall. I can only imagine how stunning it is then!

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful property. The home is full of charm, thoughtfully renovated, and incredibly comfortable. We especially appreciated the peaceful, nature-filled setting—secluded enough to feel like a retreat, yet conveniently located. The large atrium windows and striking fireplace create a warm, cozy atmosphere, and the updated kitchen and bathrooms are stunning. We’re already looking forward to our next visit.

Great place! Jocelynne was very accommodating when it came to my family wanted to visit. Enjoyed the fire pit sitting around catching up with my family. I would definitely stay here again.

Very nice comfy cabin. Kitchen was well stocked. The beds and showers were great. We did get to take a drive to the the cross and a deer visited the front "yard" the morning we packed up. Wish we could have stayed longer!

My friend and I met at Jill's cabin for a little catch-up/getaway and enjoyed being surrounded by a variety of farm animals, having lovely trails to explore, all outside the screened porch. The hot tub was well-heated and clean. Overall, a wonderful, relaxing stay and I hope to return!

A wonderful little place to enjoy nature on the covered porch (especially while raining) with a lovely little creek just below. Nice layout for staying and entertaining guests. Owner was very responsive and accommodating.
