Find Hotels in Makanda, IL

The cabin was so nice and the view was gorgeous! They had the place stocked with snacks and DVDs to keep the kids occupied in our downtimes, and we really just had a wonderful time! Highly recommend!

Decent hotel with breakfast included.

Great hot breakfast

Clean, staff accoodating, safe neighborhood, close to amenities.

Room was clean and the bathroom also. The check in was done as quickly as possible, 3 couples before us. The coffee machine in the lobby was broken and like everywhere, the continental breakfast was slim pickings (COVID) All in all, pretty okay

We always trying to explore our country and visited quite a few places over the last few years. Even that covid nonsense didn't stop us and we went to beautiful Montana last year. Normally we would plan two trips a year. 4th July week and New Years week. So, as soon as we got our plans straightened we started looking... And let me tell you this year is like no other. Prices are sky high and everything is booked. Literally, if you didn't book something like 6 months in advance you are screwed. Being Chicago locals we were preparing ourselves to spend our 4th July weekend in our backyard. As a last chance I was scrolling through different places around us in the 6-7 hours of driving radius and came across Shawnee area. I was kind of embarrassed understanding that we got such a beautiful place right here in Illinois and never visited. We started looking for a place to stay and as soon as we came across this house we just fell in love immediately. Pictures were great, description fitted our needs perfectly. But when we arrived this place just completely exceeded our expectations. It was quiet, nice and clean. Everything you need for your stay is there with kitchen well equipped, nice big deck, fire pit in the backyard and plenty of firewood. Our kids had a blast exploring the surroundings. The location of the house itself is golden. You, basically, are in the middle of the Shawnee. All the gems of the area are within 1hour 15min of driving the most. It was a little over one hour of driving to Garden of the Gods to the East and 45 min of driving to the Inspirational point to the West. And everything else like Little Grand Canyon, Giant City, Natural Bridge, Tunnel hill and so much more in between. Just book this house and you won't be disappointed. Owner is responsive and instructions are clear and easy. I highly recommend this place and definitely will plan another stay here.

The staff was friendly and helpful, all the promised amenities were available, and our room was clean and spacious!

The place definitely could use a remodel, but the beds are super comfy, the breakfast was good and the pool is great!

All was satisfied
