The Apple Shack was great! Our favorites were the hot tub and the sun room. Some small details to note: Coffee is provided, there is a cooktop in a drawer to use, a fan close to the bed, and extra blankets! These are normally things I pack, so this may save the next person from packing! Everything was clean and orderly, would definitely stay here again. Property is about 40 min from Garden of the Gods.

We had such an awesome stay at the Shawnee Apple Shack. It was so cute, clean, and had everything that we needed! There was plenty to do in the Southern Illinois area for the weekend. We definitely recommend staying there and would love to come back sometime!
