Platypus Hills, Lake, Heated Pool, Hot tub,Firepit
What an absolute gem of a stay. The property is impeccably maintained and so beautiful. The guests house that we stayed in was so comfortable and very clean. The bed is quite possibly the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on. The pool and the hot tub are perfect. The doggo’s are super sweet and lovable. Danielle and the rest of the team are all very smart and a pleasure to talk with. We will definitely be referring the place to our friends and will be back ourselves every year as long as it’s available.

Private Guest Lake House On 37 Acres In Country
The house was as great as the owners were helpful and communicative. Being able to explore the hiking trails on the property and learn more about the area through the helpful guides provided was a fun and unique experience. The home was lovely and cozy, and the screened in porch was the best place to sit and relax while taking in the nature around us. HIGHLY recommend.

Panthers Inn Treehouse
Love staying here with our pup. The wrap around porch lets her keep an eye on everything lol. Very clean and nice amenities. Some of their coffee and mimosas on the porch in the morning can’t be beat. Nice fire pit for evenings visiting with friends and family. Tranquil

Wren House in the Woods
Enjoyed our time at the Wren House. The Wren House was our stay during a horse show event at Gordyville USA. It was a great place to unwind and disconnect after a full day of horse showing. Very quiet, tranquil and great to disconnect with no TV for a few nights. The screened in porch was a nice to hang out in during the light rain during our stay. If you are a nature lover, this place is definitely for you!

Virginia Lake Getaway/Fishing/Hot Tub/Hammock
If you are looking for an a daily get away to somewhere quiet and peaceful look no further. The cabin is perfect for two people. The location is beautiful and overall everything was perfect.

Custom Floating Suite-HOT TUB!
We enjoyed staying at Samantha’s place! The cabin was very clean, the scenery was beautiful and we loved the hot tub. The bed was very comfortable and it was surprisingly quiet outside. The food at the restaurant was amazing as well and we loved the atmosphere. The tub in the cabin comfortably fit my husband and I both and the lighting was perfect. The hot water lasted a long time when I took a shower and the bathroom was very comfortable. We will definitely be staying again!

Round Lake Getaway Retreat
I coming back to Rebecca place when I have time. She is a best host I ever had! Helpful, if is any problem but fortunately I didn’t needed any help. It’s my “ second “ home if I needed to runaway for couple days. Rebecca makes sure her guess feels good. I just so lucky I found this place! That’s why her place always booked. Thank you for having me here again!

Pere Ridge Tree Escape
Absolutely love this cabin!!! It’s always our go to place when we want to vacation in Grafton. Great and communicative host that is flexible with your plans. Would highly recommend to anyone going to the area!

Hot tub,Fireplace,Pool/Marina Access,Games, Space!
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.

Rocky Springs Cabin: A Secluded Cabin On 40 Acres
Our stay was perfect! Staying at the cabin was peaceful and just what my family and I needed. We had a wonderful time and loved being able to just be together as a family in nature. If anyone wants a peaceful stay with great hosts this place is where you want to stay! We would definitely stay here again!

Bear Trap Cabin on Lake
The cabin was awesome, and the setting was beautiful. Caught four bass within the first five minutes of fishing right off the shore behind the cabin. The basement and Deck space were great aswell.

Log Cabin with Breathtaking View
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!

Wildcat Log Cabin, Free Breakfast 10 acre & trails
Cute little cabin, with great outdoor views! We enjoyed our overnight stay and were grateful the hosts were able to meet our needs. My wife and I definitely recommend.

Rustic River 7
I really loved how cute these loft cabins were. I appreciated the view and the convenience of having a place so close to the palisades. The price was solid too. I'm thankful for the dogs being able to stay with us in the cabin.

Cozy 1953 Countryside Log Cabin Minutes to STL
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.

Samson's Whitetail Mountain Lakeside Cabin
My family and pups had a wonderful evening exploring and seeing all the wildlife. The cabin was clean and cozy. The only thing we wished was to have more time here. We would definitely stay here again!

Log Cabin w/ Clawfoot Tub & Starry Nights
Inviting! Cute! Accommodating! Spotless! Husband, two puggles, and I visited for a long weekend, and we actually stayed an extra day because we loved it so much. Each morning we enjoyed our coffee on the deck. We spent the day hiking, visiting Ferne Clyffe, Bell Smith Springs, and Giant City. Lake access was just what we needed after a day of hiking. We jumped in the water from the dock, took out the paddle boat, and fished. Yes, the lake access is shared with host's other properties, but not only is everyone there to also chill, but we actually didn't overlap with anyone. In the evenings we sat on the deck again, sipping the local wines and observing nature. The deck sparkled with fairy lights. Hosts are so kind and friendly! A few "clutch" items: the silicon wine glasses for the lake; washer/dryer & detergent; firewood & firestarter; gas grill; coffee! Bluetooth speaker. The hosts thought of everything & are phenomenal. Thank you so much for an awesome getaway--we'll be back!

Franklin Creek Cabin
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.

Private cabin between Mississippi/Illinois rivers
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.

Cozy A-Frame Guest House
Mike’s place was great, had everything we needed and then some! Perfect for our family!

Audrey's Abode
Audrey’s Abode is truly something special. This isn’t just a cabin—it’s an actual log cabin, full of rustic charm and timeless craftsmanship. The moment we stepped inside, we felt tucked away in a peaceful world of its own, surrounded by countryside serenity. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, from the cozy quilts to the vintage touches like the stained-glass window and heritage decor. The kitchen had a perfect view of the open fields, and we loved watching the morning light stretch across the farm from the sink window. But the real magic happened at night. The stars were absolutely gorgeous. With zero light pollution, the night sky lit up in a way that took our breath away—constellations stretching from horizon to horizon. We spent a long time just staring up in awe. This stay was a beautiful reminder to slow down, breathe deep, and enjoy life’s quiet moments. Thank you, Audrey, for sharing such a soul-soothing place with us.

Little Texas Lodge
Absolutely beautiful. Great getaway. James was so communicative and a great host. It’s hard to find a place for a large family like ours and we felt right at home.
Your guide to Illinois
All About Illinois
Known as the Prairie State and once home to one of the United States’ most popular presidents, Illinois has a rich and complex history, from epic explorers to kingpins of the Prohibition-era. This is a state full of stories to tell. Chicago’s towering cityscape on the edge of Lake Michigan, sporting heritage, and plethora of museums draw the eye, but beyond the city limits lie huge canyons, rock climbing parks, and Amish communities.
Visitors head here to cruise world-famous Route 66, spend time at the ballpark with a classic baseball snack, and get out into the fresh air of Illinois’ swathes of fertile fields where corn grows as far as the eye can see in some areas. On the western side of the state, you’ll see steamboats meander past and charming river towns for miles along the Mississippi River, while the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site sits on the Missouri border preserving the largest prehistoric city in North America.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Illinois
The ideal time to travel through the state of Illinois is late April to late October when temperatures are moderate. Other times of the year can be more extreme and involve rain, snow, or humid heat. Visitors do come during the winter, but there tend to be fewer arrivals due to Chicago’s bitter temperatures in particular. If you’re heading here after the fall, be sure to pack plenty of warm layers and have travel plans in place for likely snowfall. Spring and summer months are popular times to explore scenic city parks and the state’s peaceful lake and river-studded scenery — Chicago alone boasts 29 miles of lakefront. Cabin rentals in Illinois are also the perfect jumping off point for grabbing a kayak and exploring the Lake Katherine Nature Center on sunny days.
Top things to do in Illinois
The Leaning Tower of Niles
Less than half an hour’s drive out of Chicago, discover a little piece of Italy hidden in the unassuming village of Niles. In 1991, Italy established a sister pact with this tower, a smaller homage to the world-famous Leaning Tower of Pisa. Every day, the bells ring out traditional country tunes to enjoy in the surrounding streets.
Writers Theater
Founded in 1992, the Writers Theater in Chicago’s North Shore district has been putting on shows of all sizes and genres for guests from all over the world for decades. Adding a creative twist to classic works, this community theater welcomes over 65,000 guests every year for engaging entertainment.
Riding a riverboat in Peoria
Leave dry land for a while on a leisurely paddlewheel cruise along the riverside. Spend a few hours sightseeing and wildlife-spotting, or take an overnight trip to Starved Rock for the full experience with live banjo performances, indulgent buffets, and rushing waterfalls if you arrive at Starved Rock State Park in the spring.
