The home was perfect for our gathering but perhaps the most perfect part of the home was the yard and the creek!! Southern Illinois held so many hiking and waterfall adventures. I’d highly recommend checking out so many hidden gems in America!! ##### Connie b. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ron N. Jan 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place for a family getaway We had a great family gathering at Whippoorwill Valley Lodge. The kitchen is very well equipped with anything you could need to prepare a meal. The living area was very comfortable and the fireplace made it very cozy. We some issues with the fireplace but the property manager was very quick to respond and assist. The house was very clean and the check in/check out was very simple. We enjoyed using the fire pit and there was plenty of wood available for an all day fire. The property seems to be very well maintained and we did not experience any maintenance issues. We would definitely consider this property or another managed by this company if we are looking for a place in Southern IL. ##### Ron N.
