A wonderful get-away spot for the person seeking quiet and beauty. A CCC Lodge, with heavy timbers and country interiors, surrounded by individual cabins. There are several levels of cabins in terms of size. I stayed in a 'Historic' cabin. It was simple but had everything that I needed. There are lovely trees on the property and the Lodge is... More

My brother, sister-in-law and I rented 2 Prairie cabins for three nights in mid-March. The Prairie cabins room are duplexes with large doors between the two. Each cabin room has a bedroom, sitting area and bath. The common door is between the sitting areas so we opened them up for more family style visiting. Each of the sitting areas also... More

My wife and I returned to Giant City Lodge for the Friday night fish fry last night. Giant City was a place we often took out of town visitors to in the past for relaxing meals in a comfortable environment. That all stopped on Good Friday three years ago. I took my family of 15 who were in town for... More

Last time we visited Southern Illinois was about ten years ago. We stayed in a Prairie Cabin and it was real nice. This time we went for a Bluff Cabin and it too was really nice. More private and a nice view of the woods in front of the four cabins. Comfortable, quiet and still found close to the main... More

This is the 2nd year of visiting this location, and as it was last year, too, everything about the place was great. The fried chicken meal is served family style and no one should feel hungry after this feast. The cabin is great and has all the comforts of home. The rooms are clean, and the beds comfortable. I highly... More

We stayed shortly after the resort opened for the season, we were the only ones staying that night, I was a little concerned about security since the front desk person leaves at 8pm, I was advised that a park ranger makes the rounds at night which eased my concerns. The front desk clerk was very attentive and friendly. The room... More

My husband and I spent two nights in one of the rehabbed cabins (we were in the one furthest from the lodge). The setting was magnificent with the fall folliage at its best. The lodge itself was very clean and very adequate. The furnishings could be updated, but were certainly okay. There was a refrigerator in the room, but no... More

The cabins are a little worn and dated. They are also completely adequate & comfortable. The Lodge itself is very, very cool. The pool is also a little worn but, fun. In the defense of the lodge & the cabins, there are improvements being made around the grounds. The walking paths around the lodge have been recently repaved. There has... More

The cabins have been rehabbed, and they are very nice. They were also very clean. We stayed in the more expensive one, but the less expensive smaller ones are closer to the lodge. We liked the size of the larger one. The restaurant had very good chicken. The sides were mediocre. The breakfast was very good, and the service was... More
