Many note quiet nights and deer sightings, enhancing the relaxing vibe. It also serves as a convenient base for SIU events and the Shawnee Wine Trail. Expect a restorative retreat.

In town for a couple days for work... Little Slice of Heaven was a million times better to come home to at the end of a long work day than any hotel in the area!!! The quant cabin nestled by the pond was the perfect peaceful retreat to decompress at the end of those days! I will definitely be booking with Crystal again for my next travel stint to the Marion Illinois area!!!!

My husband and I came across this adorable cottage as we needed a place to stay for our niece’s wedding over Memorial Weekend. This cottage is tucked away down a road that is private, lush with greenery, trees, and a pond. Inside reminds me of the beautiful cabins we stayed in Pigeon Forge, TN. Perfect for a couple and spacious bathroom/shower. When we came back in the evening after the wedding reception, the pond was alive and chirping. I had a cute small frog greet me at the stairs. Very clean and charming. Crystal is very responsive to questions preparing our stay and while onsite. We hope to be back when we aren’t so busy with family and stay just to explore nature and relax!

We needed a place for a quick overnight and after arriving, we wished we would have booked for a second night. The cabin and outside surrounding were wonderful. So neat, clean, and just right for us. The space was calm and relaxing and lended itself for great conversation. Crystal was very responsive when I had a question before booking. We arrived late in the evening but when we woke up, we took a walk around the pond. The doe and her fawn came out to play! What a delight! Thank you! Hope to return again!

The decor was so cute. The shower was so adequate. Everything we needed was there. If not, just within a mile or so was grocery and anything else.

My husband and I enjoyed the rural setting with the convenience of Marion’s historic downtown square only minutes away. Roger and Crystal responded to our questions and were so helpful with suggestions for area attractions and restaurants. Don’t miss The Vault and Bennie’s restaurants. The Garden of the Gods Observation Trail is breathtaking and is about a 45-minute drive away. The cabin is efficiently laid out, has inviting decor, and is very clean. We would stay here again.

My husband and I and our two young kids booked this beautiful cabin for the 2024 solar eclipse. Check-in usually isn’t until 3pm and the eclipse was closer to 2pm. Crystal was amazing to work with and allowed us to check in early. It was truly the perfect place to watch the eclipse and just enjoy some unplugged time in nature.(WiFi worked great- we just wanted to spend all of our time enjoying the outdoors!) I cannot recommend this place enough!

The house was perfect size for our family. My wife and daughters used the bed and I used the couch. Perfect for our 1 night stay to visit castle park and the surrounding area. Would book again if in the area. Very quiet, pretty stars at night with the sounds of nature, and felt secluded in the perfect way.

We had a delightful overnight stay at this charming little slice of paradise. The cabin was spotless and perfectly situated at the end of a quiet gravel road, offering a peaceful, secluded feel while just a minute away from town. We enjoyed beautiful views of a tranquil pond and appreciated the cozy fire pit. The owner was excellent in communication, and the thoughtful amenities—such as coffee and a selection of DVDs—made our stay even more enjoyable.

My husband and I enjoyed the rural setting with the convenience of Marion’s historic downtown square only minutes away. Roger and Crystal responded to our questions and were so helpful with suggestions for area attractions and restaurants. Don’t miss The Vault and Bennie’s restaurants. The Garden of the Gods Observation Trail is breathtaking and is about a 45-minute drive away. The cabin is efficiently laid out, has inviting decor, and is very clean. We would stay here again.

We had a delightful overnight stay at this charming little slice of paradise. The cabin was spotless and perfectly situated at the end of a quiet gravel road, offering a peaceful, secluded feel while just a minute away from town. We enjoyed beautiful views of a tranquil pond and appreciated the cozy fire pit. The owner was excellent in communication, and the thoughtful amenities—such as coffee and a selection of DVDs—made our stay even more enjoyable.

Quiet and small. A perfect little pond for a little bit of fun. Perfect and private. Exactly what we needed.

I really enjoyed staying there and it was very clean. It was very peaceful and close to the Wine Trail. We were able to find all the essentials and a good local pizza place. Good value for the money, no close neighbors. The kitchen area was kinda small and the bedroom. The bathroom was nice sized and good water pressure. The shower was fabulous
