As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
When I tell people I need to get away from it all, what I really mean is that I need to go somewhere where I can get back in touch with nature. On occasion this means pitching a tent and backpacking truly off the grid. But for a quick getaway, it can be nice to have internet access and running water.
There are plenty of riverside retreats where the sound of rushing water can help you reset. Bungalows tucked away within woods are ideal for hearing birds first thing in the morning. Whatever natural sounds bring you calm, there are vacation rentals all over Illinois that can help you get in tune with nature.
While staying the night in a resort or a hotel has an element of fanfare to it, renting a cottage is the best way to cater your vacation to your exact preferences. As a Chicagoan who likes to go where no traffic can be heard, I’d love to visit any of these rentals!
What’s your go-to spot in Illinois to get back in touch with nature? If you don’t have one yet, see if any of the natural wonders on this road trip might be worth adding to your new adventure itinerary.
