It’s no secret that Shawnee National Forest in Southern Illinois has some of the best scenery in the state, and with so much to see you may wish to spend several days in the area. If you’re looking for accommodations close to where you want to explore, there’s a private 77-acre property with six rustic yet comfortable cabins. Rim Rock’s Dogwood Cabins is in the perfect location a mere seven miles away from Garden of the Gods, across the street from Rim Rock Recreation Trail, two miles from the beach at Pounds Hollow Lake, and within reach to countless other natural wonders of the Shawnee National Forest.
Located in Elizabethtown since 2004, Rim Rocks Dogwood Cabins sits on 77 acres surrounded by trees and is close to the unique rock formations that make Shawnee National Forest the special place that it is.

There are six different cabins on the property to choose from, all spaced out enough to ensure privacy during your stay and each one a different size depending on your needs.

Of the cabins, Eagles Retreat is the largest and able to accommodate up to nine guests while the smaller Cougar Bluff cabin can only accommodate four. But no matter which one you choose, each cabin has plenty of space to make your stay a comfortable one.
