Southern Illinois Romantic Hotel

"This location is a great place to stay for those who are exploring the Shawnee National Forest. We really enjoyed the hot tub after a long day of hiking the Gardens of the Gods. The house is located next to several great restaurants. 10/10 stay! "

"We were as comfortable in the cabin as we are in our own home. It was great having laundry machines (we were staying with 4 kids ages 5 to 12). The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Be careful the water out of the faucet can get steaming hot. We enjoyed the fire pit. Would recommend renting both cabins for 4 families- the deck and fire pit is shared. The outside looks rustic but the cabin interior is quite well appointed."

"Our 5th year and a family tradition that we look forward to every year. Beautiful cabin, close to great hiking, and super clean with all the amenities for home away from home. Thank you as always for a great stay! "

"Have stayed here several times now. For my wife and I, it really is our home away from home. Thank you as always! :)"

"I was initially going to cancel because there was a flood warning for the Ohio River that blew up in the days leading to my visit. I called Harrah's three times in the days leading up to the visit and they confirmed they were open and no concerns. Upon arrival, I was told they were closing the property at 5pm the next day so we needed to leave promptly with no extensions. The casino itself does not open until 8am on Sundays and is generally very small."

"Well run and maintained"

"We actually really enjoyed our stay here. Staff was friendly. Room was good and cleaned bed and jetted tub was amazing. I proposed to my boyfriend the last night room looked amazing that night. "

"The hotel has undergone some recent repairs and was very nice to sat in. My only complaint was that the thick curtains didnt go all the way across the window, only the sheer curtains did and EVERY time a car drove by or turned it would shine in my eyes while laying in bed."
