We do have security cameras outside only on the front, back, and garage. There are no cameras inside the house. Disabling or tampering with external security cameras or internet connection can result in immediate cancellation without refund.

Kinkaid lake is a quick 10 minute drive.

The Shawnee Hills Wine Trail is just south of Murphysboro, and the closest winery is about 15 minutes away.

The orchards located in the area are also a great stop to pick up some local fruit in season, baked goods, and more!

Downtown Murphysboro is THRIVING, and I encourage guests to explore all we have to offer. Our Main Street features shops for just about everyone!
