I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and I love photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world! Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream.
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.
We all love staying at a unique place in a fantastic location from time to time. And throughout the Prairie State, we can certainly find a hotel, resort, or Airbnb that certainly fits the bill. Perhaps the coolest Airbnb in Illinois we were able to find is in an incredible location in the southern part of the state and you will want to book a stay here ASAP!
Located within the Crab Orchard Wildlife Refuge on the Shawnee Wine Trail is the coolest Airbnb in Illinois. This cottage is surrounded by wilderness yet in a very convenient location to some of the best that Southern Illinois has to offer.
You'll be in close proximity to plenty of hiking trails as well as a lake and all the wineries you could ever dream of visiting! It's truly a perfect location.
Enter into The Refuge Cottage, as it is aptly called, and you'll find a beautifully decorated space. Sit and relax in the seating area if you would like.
Cook a meal in the kitchen where you'll find everything you need. If you don't feel like cooking, go out and explore the food scene along the Shawnee Wine Trail.
If it's raining but you would still like to be outside, the covered porch is the perfect place to spend some time relaxing. You may also choose to dine or read out here.
The outdoor space is where you may want to spend much of your time. Enjoy the deck that overlooks a creek and offers plenty of seating as well as a large fire pit. You'll feel at one with nature out here.
