Property details

Big skies and beautiful countryside await at this Blue Line Resort cabin, where you'll be immersed in the quiet charm of Southern Illinois. It's a place where you can expect to share the road with horse-drawn carriages as you set out and explore the many attractions nearby. Taste your way along the Shawnee Wine Trail (three miles), visit loved ones at Southern Illinois University (five miles), or hike Little Grand Canyon (seven miles) or one of the many other trails close by.

The space
Blue Line Resort is a lovely cabin community located about four miles south of downtown Murphysboro. The grounds are a delight to return to each afternoon, offering a small pond, a dock with built-in benches where you can drop a fishing line, a gazebo with a swing, and a firepit where you can gather for stories and stargazing each evening. Communal laundry facilities are available as well.

This particular cabin is nestled at the edge of the pond, with generous outdoor spaces to enjoy in spring, summer, and fall. Bring your coffee outside to the covered front porch and gather around the picnic table in the afternoon for an alfresco lunch prepared on the grill.

Inside, the studio-style layout is roomy and comfortable. There's a combined living and sleeping area with a Smart TV (please use your own accounts for streaming), a windowside dining table, and a well-equipped kitchenette with a fridge/freezer, a microwave, an air fryer, and double hot plates. Complimentary WiFi is also on hand to keep you connected.

The cabin was perfect for our 6-night stay. Love the very quiet, peaceful property. Coming from a very noisy, congested, big city environment, it was a wonderful experience. This was our second stay in this cabin over the past 2 1/2 years, and we would gladly book it again in the future.

I always enjoy a cabin and this one had everything we needed. Close to wineries and restaurants. We appreciate there was fire wood available for us to enjoy the fire pit and outdoor area. Looks like it would be a good if traveling with other couples to rent all 3 cabins, like your own subdivision.

The cabin is very clean, seems newly remodeled. The bed was very comfortable and the couch seems new as well. We didn’t have the chance to grill but the cabin was stocked with everything you need to grill. The deck off the back over looks the pond with comfy patio furniture. It was nice to sit outside with coffee listening to the fish jump and watch the Amish neighbors go by in their horse and buggies. It was a very peaceful comfortable stay.
