Lodges & Cabins In Illinois
Reserving a lodge or cabin exclusively for your group, business, family or wedding can be a wonderful experience. Located in Western Illinois and situated along the scenic Mississippi River bluffs, our Midwest resort is home to four lodges and cabins, each of which can be rented privately. Our luxury lodges and cabins offer the most amazing views, include deluxe suites, conference facilities and provide all the comforts and coziness found in our Original Lodge. If you are looking for a lodge or cabin to escape from the fast pace of Chicago, the busy streets of St. Louis, or anywhere in-between, these are a perfect choice for your vacation getaway or business retreat. These luxury lodges and cabins are the finest in Illinois, Missouri and the entire Midwest!
If you would like to reserve exclusive use of one or several of our luxury lodges or cabins, please review the four choices below and reserve them either online or by calling us.
If you do not require an entire lodge or cabin rental, you are welcome to choose a room or suite in any one of our four lodges and reserve it privately. (Heavenly View Cabin rooms cannot be reserved individually.) The resort side of our web site contains more detail on reserving individual rooms along with meals and activities .
