About Steve Young
I grew up in Southern Illinois, and could not wait to 'Get Out,' 'Escape,' and go to the big city. I went to school in Chicago at the Illinois Institute of Technology, and left Southern Illinois far behind. I thought this was great.
I had a very successful career in the online advertising, marketing, and market research world catering to big pharma. In a normal year I would fly 125,000 miles and see many places, countries and sites.
As I grew older and my 'success' continued I felt more and more that something was missing. I began to yearn for the hills of Southern Illinois, the slower pace of life, and the people I left behind more and more.
I 2013, I came home for a few weeks to help my mother move my father into a nursing home. After this was completed I flew to Milan for business, and on my way back I received a call that my mother had had a stroke. This was a life changing event for me, and I never really went home.
My father spent the year getting worse, and my Mother spent the year getting better. When my father died in December of 2013, I decided to 'officially' move to Southern Illinois in order to spend more time with my mother and be closer with family. I also made the decision to leave the company I worked for and do something simpler, and local to Southern Illinois.
June 1st, 2014 I started my company with the goal to create vacation rental homes in Southern Illinois and help the area grow tourism. Southern Illinois is a beautiful and special place, and I would like to share it with as many people as possible.
Steve Young purchased this cabin in 2014
Why Steve Young chose Buncombe
This property was an old Bed and Breakfast, and the view was spectacular. The property was foreclosed on and a friend that I went to high school with had purchased it and remodeled the main house. Once I purchased it I started refurbishing the guesthouse. Now that it is completed I think it is one of the nicest properties on the wine trail.
The property will sleep a maximum of 16 people, or can be rented to separate parties in the main house and guesthouse.
What makes this cabin unique
The proximity to wineries, and area attractions is also great for this property.

Great place to stay on the Wine Trail
We decided to have a kids-free couple of days at one of our favorite places to relax, Southern Illinois Wine Trail. This was the first time we stayed at this cabin. It was perfect. The location was great for getting to the wineries. And it was just warm enough at night for the frogs to sing behind the open field behind the cabin. The music was magical.
We had a great time. And the cabin was awesome.
Great Place!
The place is amazing. Will go back again.
Beautiful cabin. Cozy and comfortable.
We had a very nice and relaxing stay. Loved the location and all the drves to the wineries and towns. Very cozy and comfortable cabin. We will be back.
Great couple getaway!
This was our first time using VRBO, and we couldn’t have been happier with this cabin! The cabin is very clean and beautiful. There are even deer that walk right up to the property! The location is great as well. Four wineries are within 5 miles. Panoma winery was about 45 minutes away and Carbondale 30 minutes away. Steve was quick to respond to anything we had questions about prior to our weekend getaway. We had a great time this weekend, and have already talked about coming back this summer or fall!
Can't beat the Toolshed Corner Guest Cabin
If you are looking for a centrally located residence to enable you to tour the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail and hike in the Shawnee National Forest, the Toolshed Corner Guest Cabin is the place to stay. On two occasions this year we have enjoyed the hospitality provided by Steve, the owner. His responsiveness to questions about the cabin or the area has always been quick and helpful. The cabin is well equipped and supplied with everything you might want or need for a very comfortable stay. It is convenient to many of the area's hiking destinations, locations along the wine trail are nearby and the Vienna Diner is right down the road and serves breakfast all day if you are tired of cooking.
Excellent, as usual.
3rd year with them. Service, response to issues is excellent. Will be back for 4th year in 2018.
