Tonia
I travel to So. Illinois annually to visit but this is my first stay at the Makanda Inn. It will not be my last. I had a very peaceful stay- after long days of family visit and running around with the grands, it was so nice to stay here where it was quiet and relaxing. Breakfast every morning was top notch and just the right portions.
Don
Loved it!
Nicole
Jackie was amazing. She was very informative and helpful. Great communication. The room was really comfortable. And breakfast was great.
Michele
Friendly staff that met our needs.
Roxanne
This is such a warm and inviting place to stay! The caretaker was very kind and available for any questions or needs, and made a great breakfast! It is clean and well-stocked with anything you might need. Will definitely be back!
Amy Cristine
Peaceful and relaxing.
Charles
Big thank you to the team at the cabin! Great people, great service, and great food!
Kelci
Super sweet lady owns the property. If you stay at the inn check in is only for a few hours. You will receive room and front door key since staff is not on site all day and night.
Sherry
This visit was a time of reset that I needed after loosing my mom. I could not have found a better place of peace to do just that. The calm that surrounded me was nothing short of a little piece of heaven where mom has finally reached in full splendor 😇
The room was exceptional, along with the beauty of the wood working of the lodge, the patio area and wrap around porch along the wood line is beautiful. Rather your looking for a time to just be still or a couples retreat or a family getaway I highly recommend you consider Makanda Inn, you will not be disappointed ❤️

Nothing beats the Indigo Cottage at Makanda Inn
Another amazing stay at the Indigo Cottage. Clean and beautiful as always. Only wish I could stay longer!
Kristina
The actual Inn, not the cabins, is a cute rustic lodge. The couple is super sweet and the surrounding area is amazing. They were great and everything was clean. No complaints
Julie
I had a great stay - wonderful hosts and yummy breakfast.
Fortunato
Very friendly staff and close to nice activities like hiking and wineries.
Kim
We had an amazing experience. The owners are wonderful, the room was great, and the town is an experience all in of its own. We will be back.

Quaint cottage in the forest!
Quaint little cottage in the forest! We really enjoyed our stay! We loved the unique look of the cottage from the living plants on the roof and adorable front door to the unique backsplash of found glass in the kitchenette The location was right in or next to Giant City State Park and we were not near many people. The shower room was nice. Things to help you prepare for your stay: you have to walk a little bit from the car to the door so just fyi, I did not have cell coverage (AT&T) but my partner did (T-Mobile), the stairs going from the bedroom to the living area/kitchen are very narrow (however, you can get there from a door to the downstairs), and there is an air conditioner in the bedroom but we brought a fan for the living/eating area. There isn't a dishwasher. I don't know if they wash the dishes in a dishwasher between guests, we just washed them with soap and a sponge but it would make me feel better if I knew they washed them in a dishwasher in between. Overall it was a great experience, and we would probably stay there again if it was less expensive (we did book last minute, so that may have made a difference).

Highly Recommended!!

Off-the-beaten-path place for a getaway
Stumbled across this place by browsing on Hotels.com and we were pleasantly surprised about our stay. Such a quaint, off-the-beaten-path place. If you are looking for peace and quiet nestled in the heart of the forest you will find it. The owners are so friendly and welcoming. You do need to plan ahead for food or snacks as it's not a regular hotel and there isn't much nearby. If you request in advance you can have breakfast - Greg made us a delicious breakfast both mornings of our stay. There is no wifi in the cottages but they do have it in the main house and the owner mentioned they are trying to get it soon. We also had no cell service so be prepared to unplug - which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It was a perfect place for a short getaway. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.

Wonderful stay at the Wakanda Inn with our very gracious hosts. Deep in the woods this lovely lodge which had all the amenities we could ask for. Took a walk to the town of Wakanda and the people there I appreciate for being a wonderful example of southern Illinois hospitality. The inn itself is in a quiet and calm area with a beautiful wooden charm that highlights the forests around. Thanks again for having us there.

Solid Stay at the Makanda Inn
Lorraine was easy to communicate with to set up my check in time. She was entertaining another guests family who lived locally in the house for dinner when I arrived. The house was immaculate, built with natural building materials and sustainable building practices. The house was very clean and the room was adequate. I enjoyed sitting on the porch reading my book. The house is immersed in a nature setting with butterflies and wildlife all around. The breakfast in the morning was good and the hosts were nice. Overall I would recommend this place.
