Welcome to Kibbie Kabin

Kibbie Kabin are cedar log cabins nestled in the dense woods near Oblong, IL of Crawford County in Southern Illinois. You will enjoy the picturesque setting overlooking the one-acre pond that is nicely stocked with channel cat, bluegill, redear, hybrid sunfish and bass. This pond offers excellent fishing as well as a refreshing swim. The water is kept clean, and being spring fed, is fresh and cool even in the sweltering summer days. It is located on a tract of 130 acres of land that includes a variety of terrains. It consists of 80 acres of woodland, 34 acres of cropland, and 16 acres of grasslands, parts being creek bottom. This offers the best habitat possible for great whitetail deer hunting! Not only is there good deer hunting but there is also an abundance of wild turkey. This beautiful forest is woven with miles of mowed trails for hiking or access to your game.

Don't let winter keep you from visiting us!  The woods is a spectacular sight after a fresh snow.  February is a great time for looking for deer sheds.  Don't forget your fishin' pole and auger for some great ice fishing.  Blue gill are delicious coming out of the cold water.  In the spring you might want to bring your rubber boots but it is well worth seeing the forest come back to life!  Wild flowers canvas the ground and you'll probably get a visit from some migratory fowl returning to their summer home.  Of course the heat of the summer months bring about the opportunity to play hard at any of your favorite past times, take a splash in the pond, lay out and soak up some rays or just relax and watch the many varieties of birds feeding at their feeders.  Bring your camera and get some great shots of the hummingbirds suspended in midair as they extract the nectar.  And then there is the splendor of fall with all the many brilliant colors that can send you into a hypnotic trance.  Any season is a great time to get away, rest, reflect and enjoy the life you deserve!

The cabins are one-room red cedar log cabins. The aroma is relaxing while you rest in front of the gas fireplace. As well as the fireplace they also have electric heat and air conditioning. There is plenty of hot water for your shower or doing the dishes. Turkey Roost, the smaller cabin,sleeps four with two in the loft and two in the sofa bed.
