Cabins in Illinois

Wow. If you’re looking to get away from the hustle of life and immerse yourself in nature and peace this is the spot! Close to great hiking spots too! Bonnie was so nice and friendly and even gifted us vegetables she planted and were ready to harvest!

This was a wonderful location. If you are looking to be surrounded by nature and have it right out the balcony up stairs or the wrap around porch downstairs, this is an amazing stay. It has a nice easy layout. With the windows open you can listen to nature while preparing food or just resting. Highly recommend this location.

My husband and I spent the weekend here with our dog and had the most amazing time! I have only positive things to say about the cabin and property! The trails were well maintained and the little scavenger hunt was so much fun! The hosts really think of everything! We honestly could have only brought clothes and we would still have everything we needed because of everything they provide. We disconnected from our phones, which felt so good, and we never ran out of things to do! Also, as someone who is a little bit of a germaphobe, I was amazed with how clean the cabin was! Even the windowsill was spotless! The host are incredibly thoughtful and we loved talking with them! We are already planning our next trip back!

The Wren House is truly a hidden gem. I could spend an entire morning just daydreaming on the little swing in the sunroom. We watched squirrels leaping through the trees and listened to a variety of birds singing. We really loved the interior design — it’s spacious, bright, and full of taste. The host was also incredibly kind and even helped us start a fire. We brought our own cast iron pot and used the firepit to roast meat and sweet potatoes. We’d love to come back next time.

The cabin and surrounding area was beautiful. Tammy was very helpful with all my questions and so friendly. This place is a great place to get away and for us to fish. Would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to get away from the business of everyday life.

My husband and I stayed here for three nights and absolutely loved it. The hosts were so friendly and quick to respond to anything we needed. The place was super clean, cozy, and had such a relaxing vibe. We’d definitely recommend staying here!

Absolutely gorgeous place nestled on the outskirts of farmland. It was peaceful, private, and I really loved the vibe of the silo bedroom. The place is beautifully decorated with nice amenities (I loved the bathroom vent Bluetooth), and there are great little spots all around the place to sit and enjoy the view. Maybe my favorite part of the stay were the animals on the property- the cats and chickens were friendly and curious, and I spent a good 30 minutes on the front porch petting the cats when I arrived. Can't beat the location if you're hiking Starved Rock or Matthessien state parks, I would for sure stay here again the next time I visit the area!

Has become our yearly anniversary spot. We’ve spent the last 3 of 5 anniversaries here & cannot wait to come back each time! It is absolutely perfect for a couples getaway. Secluded, quiet, surrounded by nature as you sit in the hot tub, couldn’t be more perfect in our opinion!! Always a 10/10

We loved our stay! The cabin was affordable, clean & even better in person. My kids had a great time & as a not-so outdoorsy family, it gave us the perfect balance of comfort & nature. Highly recommend!

Beth was very communicative before and during our stay. The house was nicely decorated, and furnished clean and exactly as we expected. I appreciated that we were able to leave without starting laundry, dishwashers, etc. The kitchen had a lot of useful utensils and supplies. We didn't do much cooking, but we could have easily prepared most anything we wanted. The beds and furniture was very comfortable. There were plenty of games and activities to do at the house; we did not utilize the community rec areas, but that was only due to our own agenda and time limitations. My only recommendation would be that blackout curtains in the bedrooms would have been greatly appreciated. I was up at 5:30am some mornings because of light pouring into the bedroom on the main floor.

The cabin was very nice and in a quiet place - exactly as described. The host was very helpful with questions and responded quickly. I'd recommend the place to anyone interested in this area.

Beautiful cabin near restaurants, and close to many attractions. Perfect for our group.

Kristina was amazing at making sure me and my guests had what we needed. My guests received many great amenities and if we had known our furry friends could have come we would have brought them in a heartbeat 🤍 thank you so much for sharing your wonderful serenity with us!

Really nice cabin. Loved that there were no close neighbors. Wasn’t a big deal, but just be aware, there is a gravel road and driveway in case you have a nicer vehicle. Bedrooms and bathroom are a great size.

Our stay at the Grafton Getaway was perfect! It was the perfect place for a peaceful girls trip get away. Brandon reached out before our stay to tell me about the different events in town and was extremely responsive when I had questions.

Great place to stay. Very nice new and loved the river view . Would definitely stay there again.

My fiancé and I enjoyed staying at the cabin. It was nice to be staying in a cabin and having a little get away while visiting family in Waterloo. Rika responded very quickly and is very communicative which I love that. Overall, we love it and will want to come back and stay at the cabin when visiting family.

This is a perfect little cottage near the lake. It had everything we needed, including nice outdoor patio spaces for eating and a big firepit. You can't see much of the lake from the cottage, but it's easy to get to - across a quiet road and down a very long flight of stairs. There's a nice big dock for fishing, swimming, star gazing at night, boating, and just relaxing and enjoying the view (it's a particularly scenic section of the lake because there is no development on the other side of the water - just forest!). We loved having access to kayaks and enjoyed fishing off the dock. Would love to return in summer when we can swim and do even more water activities!

We needed a place that could accommodate 9 people which this did nicely. For the larger adults who stayed in the loft, the beds could have been a bit bigger. Probably the beds were more suitable for regular adults or children. Dina may want to consider futons in the loft which could act as day couches and larger beds for sleeping. The deck and the outdoor fireplace were a bonus for morning coffee and evening conversations. The spring green on a sunlit morning was magical. The kitchen was well appointed as were the bathrooms. with 9 people the 3 bathrooms were very appreciated. A great value in a picturesque setting with county parks and a historic landmark nearby.

We stayed at Tammy's place for the first time a few years ago. We fell in love in the cabin. This time around, we wanted a similar getaway and immediately booked Tammy's place again. We love everything about Tammy's place. Clean, comfy, private. We will definitely be back.

Mike’s place was great, had everything we needed and then some! Perfect for our family!

We loved our stay in this charming cabin! It had everything we needed for a laid-back, cozy weekend away. Our kids loved the loft space and the slopped attic ceiling paired perfectly with our movie projector! We cooked all our meals and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The outdoor space was lovely, well-kept and peaceful!

Our group has stayed at Jim’s place for four years now. Jim is always hospitable, the lodge is always very clean, and has all the listed amenities. The beautiful surroundings make our weekend very special, quaint, and relaxing. We are able to cook efficiently. We are hopeful to be back next year.

It was a cute little cabin perfect to start off our honeymoon! Felt very private and cozy. Loved the area too.
