Hi, hello there, welcome! Bring your friends and family and get ready to relax. Our spacious lodge is the perfect getaway for those looking for some peace and privacy. Located adjacent to Ferne Clyffe State Park, you can lace up your hiking boots and wander straight onto the trails. The Southern Illinois Wine Trail and multiple state parks are a short drive away, but you'll soon find yourself back in the privacy of our 28 acre retreat. Come and enjoy all that our unique cabin has to offer! The lodge's property is 28 acres, predominantly wooded, and very much secluded. You are able to walk through the private woods to multiple creeks with babbling waterfalls and the opportunity to catch crawfish. The upper parking area for Ferne Clyff Park is located less than a half a mile from the house - the access and space for mountain biking, trail running, and just plain wandering is hard to beat. The private driveway is ~300 feet long and almost entirely flat. Our home is located down a dirt road - it is maintained by the town, but guests are encouraged to have 4WD or AWD vehicles. The driveway has ample parking and a clear turn around for everyone to navigate moving cars and any quick runs out for supplies. Our home has a fenced in in-ground pool area that is closed Labor Day through Memorial Day. It is not advertised as a park of the listing, but we wanted to communicate it clearly to prevent confusion or surprises.
