quality value

We had a great stay. It is not very close to groceries and attractions but wonderfully quiet and clean. Bring bug spray for outdoors. I assume that being National Forest area there is little to no spraying for insects.

Perfect for multiple family trip

Our group included a couple of siblings in their 60’s and niece with a couple of her children. The home was perfect for our gathering but perhaps the most perfect part of the home was the yard and the creek!! Southern Illinois held so many hiking and waterfall adventures. I’d highly recommend checking out so many hidden gems in America!!

Great place for a family getaway

We had a great family gathering at Whippoorwill Valley Lodge. The kitchen is very well equipped with anything you could need to prepare a meal. The living area was very comfortable and the fireplace made it very cozy. We some issues with the fireplace but the property manager was very quick to respond and assist. The house was very clean and the check in/check out was very simple. We enjoyed using the fire pit and there was plenty of wood available for an all day fire. The property seems to be very well maintained and we did not experience any maintenance issues. We would definitely consider this property or another managed by this company if we are looking for a place in Southern IL.
