About Us

Pinnon Lake Cabins offers a peaceful retreat rooted in Southern hospitality and the natural beauty of Southern Illinois. Established in 2010 by Ken and Sherry, our lakeside cabins sit on working farmland near Buncombe, surrounded by rolling hills, open pasture, quiet creeks, and grazing cattle. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the slower pace and welcoming spirit that makes this part of Illinois so special.

Our property overlooks the calm waters of Pinnon Lake and is tucked away along scenic country roads near Gurley Loop, where guests can enjoy wide-open views, abundant wildlife, and the simple pleasures of rural life. Morning coffee often comes with the sounds of birds, frogs from nearby creeks, and cattle moving through the fields. In the evenings, guests gather around the fire pit or relax in the hot tub under clear, star-filled skies.

Pinnon Lake Cabins is ideally located for exploring the best of the Southern Illinois region. We’re just a short drive from Shawnee National Forest, offering miles of hiking trails, rock formations, and scenic overlooks. Guests also love our proximity to the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail, home to well-known wineries such as Blue Sky, StarView, and Owl Creek Vineyards. Local orchards, seasonal festivals, fishing spots, and country diners are all close by, making it easy to fill your days with authentic Southern Illinois experiences.

Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a quiet nature retreat, or a relaxing escape from busy city life, Pinnon Lake Cabins provides comfortable Southern Illinois cabin rentals with a genuine, down-home feel. We invite you to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the land, lake, and hospitality that bring guests back year after year.
