Known as the “Land of Lincoln,” Illinois is famous because it is the state where Abraham Lincoln began his political career, which gave way to lots of tourist attractions such as Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library. Illinois also takes pride in the Willis Tower Skydeck where you can view Lake Michigan through its glass floor, 1,353 feet (412 meters) above the ground. If you are in for a challenge, 360 Chicago, where you can appreciate the view of the city from above while being tilted downwards through its glass-walled observation deck, is also found here. There are plenty of theme parks to visit and hiking spots to explore as well. Going through all these places can be tiresome, and nothing beats a warm and relaxing bath after a long and exhausting trip. Scroll down to find out the best cabins with hot tub in Illinois, USA.
Upcoming events:
- Visit Chicago in August to see the thrilling Chicago Air and Water Show, the largest free show of its kind in the country. The show is held on North Avenue Beach, and tourists can watch along the lakefront from Fullerton to Oak Street.
- Experience Italian culture in Illinois's Herrin at HerrinFesta Italiana. This week-long event has music, a large carnival, and over 30 other activities during Memorial Day Weekend.

13. Quaint cottage in the heart of the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail, Union County (from USD 204)
Best for: Wine connoisseurs
If you’re a wine connoisseur, staying in this cottage might pique your interest. This rental named Wine Country Cottage is located in the heart of the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail. Because of this, many wineries, such as Blue Sky Winery and Feather Hills Vineyard, are nearby. So, when you stay here — whether by yourself or with companions — you should go on tastings and order delicious dishes from local restaurants.
Once you’re done with your food and wine trip, head back to this cottage to sit back and relax. You can prepare hearty meals in the fully equipped kitchen or lounge in the rec room where there’s a large-screen television and pool table. I also think families would be quite happy here as there are toys for kids to play with.
Outside, you can find a hot tub. Have a soak to soothe your tired body and enjoy the scenic view around you.
