“My girlfriend and I stay at one of the dog-friendly cabins with our cocker-spaniel every year for our anniversary/Valentine’s Day. Even in the dead of winter, Kishauwau is a beautiful, comfortable retreat from the hustle and bustle of our big city environment in Chicago. Terisa and the rest of the staff are so friendly and hospitable when you need them and happy to leave you to your own devices when all you seek is a little peace and quiet. The cabins are minutes away from 2 of the best state parks in Illinois (Mathiessen and Starved Rock) and surrounded on all sides by charming, little towns that offer their own unique cultural experience. You’re not totally off the grid but, if you’re like us, you want to enjoy nature and all its serene splendor without completely abandoning the creature comforts and modern amenities of the urban lifestyle to which you’re accustomed. We intend to keep this tradition alive for many years to come.”
