Illinois is perhaps best-known for its largest city, Chicago. The bustling city is home to over a fifth of the state’s residents. With towering skyscrapers, thrilling sports events, and famous restaurants, Chicago is a popular urban destination. However, the rest of the state is also filled with great spots to visit like the State Capitol in Springfield, as well as the naturally beautiful Starved Rock State Park. There are also numerous great hiking spots and theme parks in Illinois. Renting a car is best for getting around as the trains and buses are limited to the cities and their suburbs. With so many places to stay in Illinois, it can be hard to choose one. Read on for the top luxury cabins in Illinois.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and access to luxury services and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on February 07, 2024.
