Great location, hiking!
Minutes from Garden of the Gods and River to River Trail. Temps too hot so we tried to be on trail by 7:30. On dead end road but noisy compared where we live (not bad). Great wildflowers and birds. Loved having a full kitchen. My husband in hot every day.

very nicely equipped & clean
I loved that it's very rural & secluded, the hot tub was really nice after hiking Garden of the gods park. Only about a 20 minute drive away& about 1/2 hour drive to the Tunnel Hill trail head. I appreciate having a ceiling fan in the master bedroom. I will definitely stay here again!

Nice House Out in the Woods
It appeared like the house was newly remodeled. The appliances were new. The bathrooms were up to date and nice. The beds were comfortable. The hot tub was excellent. The place was clean, though the pots/pans and silverware tray could have been cleaner. This place is close to places to hike in Shawnee. The house is several miles to restaurants or stores. If you are looking for something remote this is the place. I would bring your own coffee. It would also be nice if they moved the fire pit closer to the house.

Nice location
We found the location clean and as described. The only issue was not enough toilet paper for our group. We would stay there again, if given the opportunity.
