If you really want to immerse yourself in nature, perhaps you should take a trip to Vienna, a small city in rural Southern Illinois. This Johnson County locale is surrounded by the Shawnee National Forest, abundant with wildlife and the peace and quiet you may be seeking. For those who want to stay overnight, the Samson Mountain Rustic Lakeside Treehouse is a great option. Surrounded by 800 acres, you will have all the privacy you desire for a relaxing retreat.

The Samson Mountain Rustic Lakeside Treehouse sits along the shores of a 10-acre lake, which is stocked with fish. Bring a rod and take advantage of fishing here during your stay.

There's a beach to relax on as well, or you may choose a more active approach and go for a swim or take a kayak out on the lake.
The interior of the cabin, much of which is painted red, has a rustic feel with its wood walls. The comfortable living space has a cozy feel and views of the lake.

Beware, though: there is no WiFi, although that may be perfect for those who really want to unplug. There are also a washer and dryer for your convenience.
The quaint kitchen is stocked with what you need to cook your own meals. Enjoy eating either inside at the table or out on the deck overlooking the water.
Airbnb
The treehouse has a total of three bedrooms, two upstairs in the loft area and one downstairs which has a barn door.
