Cabin vacation rentals in Illinois River

Great location within walking distance of Grand Bear’s water park.

I had my bachelor party here and it was a perfect location for 13 guests! The house was very spacious and had tons of places to hang out and activities to do. The back yard was also absolutely beautiful. The host was very friendly and communicative. I would totally stay here again!

Highly recommend! We had a great stay and enjoyed our time there! It felt private, but it was also close to various activities and many restaurants.

The place looked even better in person than it did in the pictures. Parking was limited, but the inside was very spacious and very clean. Jill is great to work with and very nice! I let Jill know that we would be getting ready for my wedding there and she left a bottle of champagne with a sweet note. Overall a fantastic place to stay!

Very quiet, very relaxing stay. Nice, cozy quarters with both front porch and back deck to stretch out. My family of four fit in perfectly. A nice weekend getaway to recharge. Definitely considering going again.

A Novel Stay was a great location for us. We went to fish at a tournament so needed a place close to the Lake. The home was extremely clean and had lots of extras. There was plenty of space to park and charge our boats. The Blackstone grill was great so we could cook for a crowd easily. The oversized games were a hit for the teenage boys with us and the coffee bar was a hit in the morning for the adults. I would definitely book this place again.

This home is beautiful! It was perfect for our group get together. We enjoyed playing on the water and relaxing in the house. There were lots of things to do outside (the lake, hot tub, fire pit, grill) and plenty to do inside (pool, darts, video games, board games, theater room,the walking pads (like treadmills). Lots of great seating throughout the house for lounging and visiting. Plenty of dining space both inside and out-we especially enjoyed eating on the back porch. Well equipped kitchen too! The view was incredible and we had a both fun and relaxing weekend rolled into one. Don’t hesitate to book! We can’t wait to return 😊 Oh! And the owner was great communicating-at booking, check in, and making sure we had all we need. Thanks again Corey

Amazing stay, amazing area!

The place and property were amazing! Joe was very helpful when we locked ourselves out 😂. Very peaceful and secluded. We will be staying there again next year for sure and hopefully can have the rest of our friends stay at the silo next door. 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quite getaway!

The house was set up with everything a family could want. The beds were comfortable. The 4 outside sitting areas and huge dining table gave everyone room to hang out. Maddy had lots of board games and even a bag game that the kids had room to play in the family room. The grill/smoker was a wonderful surprise, too. We will book again.

Our stay was perfect! Staying at the cabin was peaceful and just what my family and I needed. We had a wonderful time and loved being able to just be together as a family in nature. If anyone wants a peaceful stay with great hosts this place is where you want to stay! We would definitely stay here again!

This stay exceeded all my expectations! The location was perfectly secluded, offering the peace and privacy I was looking for. The space was spotless—cleanliness was clearly a top priority. It was also very affordable, which made it an even better value. My host was incredibly responsive and proactive, checking in to make sure everything was going smoothly and offering helpful tips throughout the stay. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quiet, clean, and well-managed place to unwind!

The cabin was awesome, and the setting was beautiful. Caught four bass within the first five minutes of fishing right off the shore behind the cabin. The basement and Deck space were great aswell.

Kristina was amazing at making sure me and my guests had what we needed. My guests received many great amenities and if we had known our furry friends could have come we would have brought them in a heartbeat 🤍 thank you so much for sharing your wonderful serenity with us!

Had a wonderful visit. Th kids loved the room upstairs. Would love to visit in the summer.

The River Cabin is great to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life, or great if you are looking to relax for a weekend. House was very well kept, nice touch having a Traeger grill. One minor thing to note is backyard was overgrown and fire pit was not in ideal shape. Small inconvenience but would have been nice to have better access too. Would definitely stay here again !

Nice cozy cabin, private and secluded, just roomy enough, friendly helpful hosts, literally bike distance from the state park.

Justin’s and Katie were absolutely great, the house address is on a dead end road so your gps don’t take you exactly to the house but Katie explained everything to us and it was extremely easy. We drove in brome buff ny and had to drop off some stuff early they had no problem. Justin was also great him and his friend Austin helped us with some hunting information and were very knowledgeable about where to go places around the town 10/10 recommend if your looking to stay in a “remote cabin getaway” only downfall is I’m booking it again for this week next year and you can’t have it 😂😂😂

Wow, this place was exactly what we needed. Total privacy, fresh air, and just the right kind of quiet. The signal was spotty, which honestly made it even better.....we fully unplugged and loved it. The cabin was cozy and stocked with everything we needed. We didn’t get to use the fire pit because it was a bit too windy during our stay, but it looked like the perfect setup for calmer nights. The deck lights up beautifully in the evening, and the stars? Absolutely unreal. With zero light pollution, it was one of the most humbling night skies we’ve seen this year. Great hosts, great spot, great time. We’d come back in a heartbeat.

Great place place to wind down after a long day at work. Very cozy and private. Good place to fish 🎣

The cabin was beautiful! Very spacious and plenty of room for our family. Pictures and listing were very accurate. The building is set toward the back of the resort so it was very quiet and peaceful. The kitchen was well stocked, which is important to us since we like to do a lot of cooking together as a family. Everything was extremely clean . The lodge is very close to many restaurants and shops, so we didnt have to travel far for something to do. Ryan was very quick to respond whenever we had questions for him. Thanks for a great stay! We plan on booking again the next time we are in the area!

We would love nothing more than to save this place just for us but that would not be fair. This place was simply amazing, you will not regret staying at Sweet Water Lodge! Whether you are staying to go ride side by sides or just hang out by the amazing pond (with bouncy toys) there is something for everyone here. Sweet Water Lodge will not disappoint at all!

Great location, lodge was well equipped with big rooms.

Exactly as described, this place is beautiful and serene. The home was clean and comfortable. I especially loved the framed photos throughout the house, which seemed to have been captured in the immediate natural surroundings - just beautiful! The house was easy to find, but felt secluded. We had a relaxing, quiet stay.
