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.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and access to hot tub. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on February 16, 2025.

3. Cozy cabin for four nestled in the woods in Union County (from USD 201)

Best for: Peaceful getaway

This 900-square-foot (83.61-square-meter) cabin is nestled in the woods, so you can expect to find peace and quiet when you stay here. You may enjoy sitting back on the large covered porch, sipping your favorite drink while cherishing the tranquility. You can also take a short stroll along the pathway to the outdoor hot tub near the cabin.

The interior is just as lovely. The two bedrooms can sleep four people, and the kitchen has all the essentials you need to prepare delicious meals. In the living room, you can find a fireplace, so you’ll always be warm and comfortable while watching a movie on the television. I also think the fact that there’s no internet here makes this rental perfect for people who want to escape their busy lives.

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.
