Holiday houses in Carbondale

The place was very private and peaceful within nature, without being too far outside of town. We loved hiking the surrounding areas in Shawnee national forest. Everything was as listed and was super easy to use and discover. Lots of room and beautiful scenery.

My Mom, sisters and I recently stayed at Dave and Sara's 'Lake of Egypt Hilltop Retreat' for a girls' weekend, and we had a great time! The cozy property has beautiful views of Lake of Egypt and it's really a serene setting. The accommodations were great for our group. We really loved the open-concept living and dining area where we were able to gather comfortably to chat, share meals, and relax after exploring the area. The fully equipped kitchen made meal prep a breeze. We weren't able to fully enjoy the outdoor space with the deck and firepit due to the bitterly cold temps and rain, but we hope to be able to enjoy both during our next stay. The retreat's location was ideal, offering a peaceful escape while still being close (20-min drive) to plenty of activities. We loved exploring the nearby trails in Shawnee National Forest and some cute breakfast spot and antique shops. This was the perfect setting for quality time with my Mom and sisters. Thank you, Dave and Sara!

Kitchen well stocked with dinnerware and cookware and very clean and spacious.

We arrived on Thanksgiving Day where almost everything was closed so you can imagine our surprise having Milk in the fridge so our daughter could have hot chocolate on a cold day when we arrived. The place was ready for us as we arrived. Even though it was cold we still enjoyed going outside by the lake for a little bit to enjoy the view and the lake. The house location was great, peaceful and quiet, exactly what we needed. Thank you for a wonderful stay and would definitely visit again, this time when it's warm and sunny so we can enjoy more of the outside lake life.

The Red Barn was a cozy and comfortable home. The location was perfect for what we needed; a quiet place and plenty of room.

Can't say enough about our weekend at Brian's house. Fantastic! He was incredibly responsive and generous. We were there for a wedding and 6 of us stayed and had a lovely time. Thank you!!!

Great place to stay for any occasion or getaway. Was very enjoyable and relaxing.

Phyllis was wonderful, kind, and inviting. check in and out was quick and painless. furniture is comfortable and she allows pets for a still reasonable price! plenty of space for the dogs to run and the place is perfectly placed far enough away from the hustle and bustle in town but close enough to run to the store if you need somrthing!

Great location, great host, great fishing! We had a wonderful, relaxing time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
