My girlfriend and I stayed in one of the cabins the weekend of November 7, 2009. After only seeing pictures of the cabins online, and knowing that things usually look better online than they do in person, I was pleasantly surprised. The pictures hardly do the cabins justice. The cabin was very clean and well thought out. The robes that... more

Doug the inn keeper (manager) was on site within... more

The TV never did work. Found a dead cockroach in the room. The staff wasn't very helpful. The said they would "make it up to... more

Took my wife to Hidden Lake Winery to do some wine tasting. Needless to say we had a bit too much to drink. Saw a brochure at the wine bar that they had cabins to stay at on the property. Instead of risking driving a bit tipsy, decided to get a cabin for the night. Well, after reading the previous... more

Banquet for 75 people: $1880 Honeymoon Suite: $200 Dead cockroach in the bathtub of Honeymoon Suite: PRICELESS On the surface, the Hidden Lake Winery and Banquet Center in Aviston, Illinois would seem to have everything going for it. A quaint concept, nice secluded cabins, large banquet rooms and a connection to a California wine dynasty. Sadly, the devil is in... more
