Our overall experience was great! The only thing that kept me from giving an excellent rating was, on our first night there was a wedding scheduled and the music (mostly the DJ with the microphone) was rather loud for a "peacefull getaway." It would have been nice to know about in advance but, that is the only complaint. Looking past... More

We stayed in the west end cottage with another couple. Two ensuite bedrooms with very comfortable beds and nice archttectural pieces. There are seperate entrances into the cabin from each of the bedrooms. The kitchen came complete with coffee grinder and coffee beans, an especially nice touch. We opted to have breakfast at the lodge (for an extra fee) and... More

Girlfriend and I recently enjoyed a long weekend at this beautiful bed and breakfast. The inn is a beautiful secluded retreat which includes the main lodge and individual cabins. We stayed in the Sienna Cabin. The cabin was a perfect size for a couple trying to enjoy time away from home and also away from the general public. The uniqueness... More

This was my first experience at a bed and breakfast type of lodging - it was wonderful! There were ten in our group of "winegirls", so we had the four rooms in the main lodge and one of the cabins. The individual rooms were very nice and the common area was large, but also had multiple seating areas. This was... More

The inn is nestled in a wooded area with almost no traffic disturbing its peace. The building is spacious with high ceilings and inviting common areas to relax and chat. Lovely wrap around porch with rocking chairs invites people to sit and look at birds and other wildlife. Rooms are average size but simply decorated making maximum use of space.... More

It's a magical experience to spend the night in a McKanda Inn Cottage. Your family won't soon forget the amazing West End Cottage, with it's "Living Roof." Using the earth and prairie grasses as natural insulation, the cottage is built into the landscape! With a view of the forest and the McKanda hills, you're in total harmony with nature. My... More

The charm and atmosphere of the Makanda Inn was worth every penny (not that it was that pricey). My husband and I stayed for a long weekend in the Indigo Cottage and we continuously talked about how awesome it was. It had a mini living/kitchen area on the lower level and an awesome spiral staircase up to the bedroom/bathroom/patio. The... More

Love this place. Very beautiful location and service and food is wonderful. Would love to stay longer! Great concept of Eco friendly material. Love the wood for the bar and main staircase Beds are big and soft.

Located down the hill and in the woods, near the Shawnee National Forest and Southern Illinois University, this modern cabin style abode was beautiful and secluded. We toured the wineries of the southern Illinois Shawnee Hills Wine Trail, and spent the evenings in a surprisingly stylish suite, with modern amenities and unique architectural details. The breakfasts were terrific, chatting with... More
