This A-Frame Pet-Friendly Cabin VRBO In Illinois Is One Of The Coolest Places To Spend The Night

Sometimes the ideal getaway is simply a place where it’s quiet and peaceful so that you can take a break from the hassles of life and just slow down and rest. Other times, you’d like a little adventure mixed in. There are surely plenty of options for both types of getaways. But finding a location that has a good variety of things to do can be a little more challenging. With this charming A-Frame country cabin VRBO in Illinois, you may be surprised by all the different activities that are close by.

The cabin itself is an experience alone. Its A-Frame style is unique and the interior decor gives it a cozy feel.

Serene natural surroundings include the forest behind the property and Moraine State Park with Dawson Lake across from the front of the home. There’s an equestrian trail access across the street and hunting area access only half a mile away.

Follow the trail through the woods to the state park for fun on the beach and at the lake. Go swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, or boating at Dawson Lake.

Grab some sandwiches and rent a kayak at Moraine View Restaurant and Kayak Rentals if you don’t have your own kayak.

The lake is picture-perfect, even at dusk.

After a full day at the lake, you can head back to the cabin to make use of the charcoal grill and firepit in the backyard.

Make s’mores, roast marshmallows, or just warm up and relax by the fire.

Settle in for the night in the loft, which has a king-size memory foam mattress for a good night’s sleep.

The cabin will sleep five, with a queen sleeper sofa in the living room and a twin air mattress with a pump available in the loft. In the kitchen, there’s an infrared cooktop stove that is stored in the cabinet underneath for more counter space, a toaster/convection oven, a large George Foreman grill, microwave, coffee maker, crockpot, dorm size fridge, pots and pans, dishware, and silverware.

Around the property, you may see deer, wild turkeys, birds, foxes, or any of a multitude of different butterflies fluttering around, including monarchs, swallowtails, red-spotted purples, and painted ladies.

Winter bookings are available, and there are snowshoeing trails inside the park. Bundle up for some crisp, fresh air and the alluring winter wonderland.

For pet lovers, the icing on the cake is being able to bring your buddy along. The owners just ask that pets are kept away from the wildflowers surrounding the back deck. For more information and to book your stay at this charming property, visit its VRBO listing here.
