Rim Rocks Dogwood Cabins

Fantastic cabins, we have stayed twice. Love the accommodations, the farm animals, the proximity to great hikes, and the little touches that make it a real escape. If you are looking in the Shawnee, they can’t be beat

So my buddy and I were planning on camping in the park but the weather was looking a tad of a mess, so Googled this place and the owner got one ready for 1 night and and when we arrived were delighted at the property, atmosphere and the cabin, great screen porches, fully equipped kitchens to cook, huge fire pit to lounge, a common area to BBQ (gas or charcoal) with covered shelter and picnic tables, all a short walk to the Rim Rock trail and Campground. So we bbq’d steaks, had some red wine, build a great fire, and relaxed in the middle of this beautiful area, its started to rain hard, and I just put my sleeping bag/​pad on the porch and slept there and snoozed away. This place is an excellent location, great value, and wonderful owners. Have fun in this park. Go to Whoopie Cat lake…

Here’s the scenario: my husband and I got married 1 month ago. It’s November and I’m short on vacation time so the honeymoon has to wait til next year. However, we NEED a vacation or «mini-​moon» as one of our friends called it :)
What do we poor newlyweds do? We spend a fantastic, COZY weekend at the Dogwood Cabins in the beautiful Shawnee National Forest! Yay!
We stayed in «Coyote Hollow» — So cute!
–Screened-​in back porch
–Fire pit out back complete with wood
–Nice TV with working built-​in DVD player and a selection of like 15 DVD’s
–Nice bathroom
–FULL KITCHEN: oven, microwave, fridge, pots, pans, dishes, silverware, coffee maker, and even some essentials like COFFEE, tea, salt & pepper and microwave popcorn. :) Sweet.
As far as being secluded, we could definitely see the next cabin over, and even though we’re private people, it wasn’t so close that we felt crowded. So all good there.
The location is great — close to Garden of the Gods and Cave-​in-​Rock, both of which we loved. The weather was beautiful — mid-60’s and sunny in NOVEMBER! There was also an awesome binder in our cabin of local attractions and places to eat. :) Thank you, hosts!
I really did not want to leave — highly recommended!
