Cabin by the Creek‼️🏡🎣🦌

KeelyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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!

Red Roof Log Cabin•WIFI•Lake of Egypt•Lake Toys

CharisRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
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!

Secluded 6 Bedroom Cabin - Oregon, IL

MichelleRating, 5 stars2 months ago
This was our second stay at Heather's place. It's spacious with a well equipped kitchen. Plently of dishes, utensils, pots/pans, baking items (measuring cups, spatula, whisk, cupcake pans, etc.). It's very clean & smells good. The beds were comfortable for everyone. With 5 acres, we were able to take a little hike in the woods. Our family of 12 had a great time. We will be back again!

This place is so worth it! Geloria’s cabin is fantastic. We had to change our honeymoon plan last minute but we were able to talk to her and made a reservation painlessly. The cabin turned out to be better than our original plan! We will come back again for our anniversary for sure. Rechel & Ploy

Contemporary Glamping with Native American Appeal!

LizRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
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!

The Petersburg Place nestled near downtown

MariaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We immediately felt very comfortable; everything was as described (actually, even better!) and we felt like we were staying at an old friends house. Super clean, with everything needed if you want to prepare your own meals. It was just the two of us, so we had plenty of room. I think it would also be perfect for a small family. We felt safe and the area was quiet and convenient. We spent most of our time in Springfield, which was an easy 30 min drive. We loved being able to come back to Petersburg to relax. Highly recommend this property; the owners were a joy to work with!!

Cozy Retreat | Hot Tub | Firepit | Dog-friendly

StephennieRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We had a great stay at The Nest on a snowy, winter weekend. House was as described in the listing. Comfortable beds/pillows and living area. We loved having the hot tub and shuffle board table. The driveway is pretty steep and our car had trouble getting up while actively snowing, but luckily there is space for parking at the top of the drive. Overall, wonderful weekend and host.

West City Retreat

AutumnRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Tyler was an incredible host. He accommodated our last minute booking and welcomed us and our fur babies. Tyler was responsive and kind. The home was clean with a pleasant smell. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. We were genuinely surprised with the size of the living space and felt right at home. The kitchen snack box and the bathroom necessity boxes were so thoughtful. The animal toy/blanket bin, coffee/tea station, and board game collection were highlights. 10/10 would recommend and stay again.

Bungalow with dog-friendly yard near Starved Rock

KristenRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The most important thing when we travel with our dogs is how secure the fenced in yard is. Dog parents - the fence is very secure. We check every inch of the yard before letting our dogs off leash. The place was cute, cozy, clean and comfortable. Check in was easy and the neighborhood seemed safe. Tania was a great host. We do want to mention that after booking our stay, we received the house rules which mentions not to flush toilet paper. This may be a deal breaker for some. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Dog Friendly Cozy North Naperville 3 BED/2 BA Home

Amanda RRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This home was absolutely beautiful and exactly what I wanted. I was looking for a large backyard to allow my dogs to run in while I stayed there. The yard is probably 3/4 of an acre and was excellent for the dogs. The driveway even extends beyond the privacy gate where you can pull your car right into it and let the dogs right out. It was perfect for loading the guys up early in the morning and letting them out late at night. I double checked the fence and she definitely reinforced a lot of it. There’s chicken wire on the bottom so the dogs can’t dig underneath it. The home itself is absolutely beautiful with a king size bed in the main bedroom, which has a window right to the backyard. It’s exactly what I needed for my 10 day stay Liz was also super responsive and super helpful for any questions that I had. I’m definitely gonna be able to stay here again.

Family Friendly 3BR Duplex in Roscoe Village

LanRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
John was a very kind and responsive host. Answered any questions we had very quickly. Home was exactly as pictured and described. Very comfortable place to stay. Everything was clean. Appreciated the family and kid friendliness of the home--not a lot of decorative items in reach that could be broken, no tables with sharp edges, low bed in the upper guest room that was easy to get in and out. Location was close to several restaurants and grocery stores, and not too far a drive from all the major tourist attractions.

The Downtown House - 1820s home steps from Main St

RobertRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Awesome find a block from Main Street in downtown Galena, we’ve stayed here several times and are constantly impressed. Lauren has done a great job taking an older place and making it modern without removing the charm. Everything from Bluetooth speakers to a modern kitchen and large TV with online services and WiFi, this is a great place to stay w family. They even have a parking spot a block away now. Lauren is an amazing host and responded immediately to any request as she’s right down the street. The only downside is on a weekend night it can get a bit loud being one block from several bars, but that’s the nature of being downtown . Highly recommended!

During the weekend, there was a severe Tornado Watch. Allison invited us into the safety of her home's basement without hesitation. The cabin was clean, obviously created with care, and a wonderful spot for a rainy cozy weekend. My friend and I used the paddle boards on the lake, enjoyed using the BBQ grill, and loved our stay. We hope to come again. Thank you, Allison!

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.
