Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Illinois

I rented this cabin for my uncle and my 2 cousins to celebrate my uncle’s soon-to-be 95th birthday. My cousin said it was easy to find and to get inside. They planned to do some fishing and they had a question about what kind of bait they should use in the lake and their question was answered promptly The only area of concern was that there had been some wet towels left in the bathtub, and my cousin said it made the inside smell very “mildewed”. She tried to wash the towels, but the washer was new and needed to be programmed or reset, so she couldn’t use it…. One of the hosts, Jerry, called me (I wasn’t staying at the cabin) and explained about the washer being new. I didn’t fully understand that the issue was the towels had left the cabin smelling moldy until my cousin explained it to me. But Jerry quickly called me to explain the issue with the washer and he said if we needed clean towels to leave the dirty ones outside the front door and they would wash them.

We had a lovely time at Brittany's place. The place was clean, comfortable, and supplied with thoughtful amenities. We really appreciated the attention to detail. We were committed to plans during the day but when we got back in the evenings, we enjoyed sitting on the porch looking out at the water and listening to the frogs. Private and quiet- love that you can't see neighbors and the nature trail out back is lovely for meandering around. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Brittany!

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!

Adams Rock cabin was a great home base for our Shawnee trip! The place looks exactly as pictured/described. We appreciated the Native American decor as well as informative books in the cabin. The location is not super remote, but the large yard was perfect for our kids and dog to play and just enjoy being outside. We particularly enjoyed roasting marshmallows around the fire pit! For others traveling with kids, it is worth knowing that the loft bedroom is up a steep ladder without any particularly good way to block the ladder at the bottom or top. The kitchen was equipped with necessities but not a lot of extras. If you’re planning to pack picnic lunches for your hikes, make sure to bring storage containers! Overall, we had a wonderful stay, appreciated all of Mary’s helpful communication, and really enjoyed exploring a new-to-us part of the country!

First and Foremost Adam been an amazing host he is very detailed reliable thoughtful and definitely organized. He made us feel comfortable. I can't explain how much me and my guy needed this and this was our first Air Bnb ever and the experience I doubt any one can beat...for the low star the lady gave for have to wash your own dishes well yes don't you clean your own house. I had no issues cleaning after us it is kept well and clean. my pups loved being out there...we only had issues w the TV that's because we are spoiled and have a big TV at our own house nothing of Adam's fault. the fact this man thought about every single need you might have he had it....I was kind of scared to be middle of no where but honestly he had everything for you and extra...everything is great quality as well no cheap stuff....I am seriously grateful and thankful and can't wait to come back....my guy also made a cool little rap song about the cabin lol. it was really awesome!!!!

This place was a quiet and relaxing retreat after two long days of driving. We got in late, but stayed until the last minute before checkout because we were so grateful to enjoy a peaceful morning at Joy's place. The property is private, quiet, and surrounded by nature. the cabin has everything you need and was very clean. We appreciated the dog-friendly touches, such as the doggy biscuits as well. If you are passing through the St. Louis area and want a quiet, safe place to rest, this is the place for you.

I felt super confident in my booking right from the moment I booked it as Dan guided me the entire way and is super amazing at responding and communicating. It was super accomodating when I needed help and it was so reassuring to have a host so kind and responsible.

We enjoyed our stay. Nice residential neighborhood. shopping and restaurants were only a 2 minute drive away

Cute house adorably decorated. Lots of games to keep you busy and clear instructions to make your stay run smoothly. The screened in porches were where we spent most of our time. They are so comfortable. Lots of perks like the snack bar and shower necessities. Very close to two boat ramps and plenty of room to park a boat trailer. We will stay again.

Very clean and comfortable. When we had any questions, Danielle responded quickly. Definitely would stay again.

Great option for people with young children! My wife is an interior designer, and she kept commenting on how well-decorated the entire home was. Will definitely stay here again and recommend to family visiting in the future.

The ranch was perfect for my family and I! The house was spotless and looked just like the pictures. The surrounding neighborhood was quiet and very cute. Jackie left us some sweets for when we got there (super yum!!) and was very responsive and helpful! 100% recommend!

It was nice, quiet and peaceful place. Great place to relax and unwind. Loved my stay, the house had a very homey feel to it.

We enjoyed the hot tub and the view, especially for the sunrises. The decor was amazing and the house had everything we needed!

Wonderful stay in a great neighborhood. Very accommodating when I needed to stay longer and easy to work with.

This was a great place to stay with family. Plenty of space and a great backyard. Javier was great to work with as he was responsive and flexible.

Very clean and well maintained home. Kitchen was well stocked with pans and other utensils. Our grandkids didn’t want to leave the awesome basement!

We had originally booked 2 nights, but had such a great time and felt so at home staying at Michael's place that we decided to extend our stay for an extra night. It felt so peaceful and relaxing and even the kids were begging to stay another day. Luckily it was available. Everything was very clean and we loved the style and decor of the house. The view from the balcony was beautiful and perfect for enjoying an early morning cup of coffee. The house had everything we needed for our stay with kids and dogs. The kids loved that we had access to the pool at the owners club and the dogs loved taking walks down the path by the lake. Also, Michael was very responsive throughout our stay. We had an issue with one of the TV's and within 10-15 minutes the maintenance guy was there and able to get it up and running. This place is definitely at the top of our list the next time we visit Galena!

We enjoyed our stay at Amy’s Pool House! It was perfect for our trip visiting family during thanksgiving. Close to everything we needed and easy to find and access. The house was well stocked, esp plenty of towels! It was perfect for our dog too. He loved their yard and it was perfectly quiet for him. There is plenty of space and its comfy. We really enjoyed using the tv, and the hot tub! You could see the stars at night. :) We found the pool house a bit chilly at times and the bed was not our preference but overall we really enjoyed our stay! Amy was also very responsive and kind! We would come back here to stay again! :)

Family ski trip! It was perfect! 20min to Chestnut Ski resort and 15mins to downtown Galena! It was the perfect stay and plenty big enough. We will be back next year!

We truly had a wonderful stay at Jess's place. The area and surroundings were absolutely beautiful. The grandkids loved the arcade games and especially sitting by the campfire making smores! Jess was very prompt on responses when we had a question. I highly recommend this place for a vacation.

Absolutely beautiful cabin and location!! Our kids had the best weekend here! We loved every minute and will definitely be back!! Thanks for a great weekend!

I will definitely be back! Shari’s place was clean, comfortable, and spacious. I have family in the Bushnell, New Philadelphia/Marietta, Macomb, and Colchester. This place just makes sense for my family and myself. Thanks Shari!

Hailey was an excellent host. The Aspen House is beautiful. It was the perfect size for our family of 6. It has everything you could need. We really liked that there were plenty of blankets and entertainment outlets. Our youngest was excited to see that one of her favorite spiral toys was there. We had to leave abruptly in the wee hours of the morning due to a sick kid and Hailey made check out a breeze. We were grateful as she ended up being pretty sick. We will definitely look to stay here again when we're in the area.
