Prior to looking for a weekend getaway, I turned to the helpful reviews posted on TripAdvisors.com. After reading the good and bad about Eagle Ridge Resort and Spa, I was pleasantly surprised and felt morally reponsible to let other guests know that the destination is not only understated, -- but well worth a 2.5 hour drive from Chicago.
Professionally-staffed, the villas offer everything one needs for week or weekend away from home. Although I'm not a lover of American contemporary furnishings, the accommodations were impeccable. There are so many things to do at Eagle Ridge, an outdoor enthusiast can find a little piece of paradise: 4 mega golf courses, canoe and bike rentals, pools or just a beatiful place to grill and enjoy nature. As for the food, Spike's Bar and Grill features an appetizing menu and the Woodbine Restaurant's Sunday brunch dishes up tasty foods with friendly service.
