Welcome to The Cove Cabin!

The Cove was inspired by our own whimsical design with luxurious simplicity to soothe the mind. What could be better than a cozy earthen shelter cottage in the Shawnee National Forest?

Guests of The Cove have a secret trail through a short stretch of woods to Blue Sky Vineyard.

This video was kindly made by a Cove guest. A creative review!

The-Cove Cove in Late Summer Sunset

Luxury Cabin Rental in the Shawnee National Forest

Whimsical and Luxurious

Wrap yourself in plush spa robes and step out onto your private patio just off the exquisite bedroom. Enjoy a relaxing soak in the four person hot tub while surrounded by woods, fields, and prairie.

An arched opening between the living room and bedroom allows you to view the beautiful, fully vented gas fireplace from your decadently comfortable king size bed
(for an incredible night's sleep).

Nine foot ceilings, arched walls, rich colors, and romantic, dimmable lighting give this unique and spacious one bedroom cottage a luxurious, cozy, romantic ambiance. Sun tunnels cast natural light in the living room, kitchen, and roomy bathroom.

Round windows and wood detailing along with many more touches
set this cottage apart from all the rest.
