Perched above the beautiful Vermilion River, and just 7 miles from the gates of Starved Rock State Park, is Kishauwau Cabins, where you will find a collection of four-season rental units surrounded by picturesque nature. This longtime fan-favorite lodging experience just received another prestigious accolade: being named a Travelers’ Choice winner by Tripadvisor.

This marks the fifth consecutive year that Kishauwau Cabins has been honored with this coveted lodging and attraction award, a testament to their service to new fans and loyal annual guests. The Travelers’ Choice Award honors businesses that consistently have received outstanding traveler reviews on Tripadvisor over the past 12 months, putting Kishauwau in the top 10% of all listings on Tripadvisor globally.

“We are humbled and delighted to be the only lodging establishment in the Starved Rock area to have received this distinguished award,” said Terisa King, owner of Kishauwau Cabins. “This recognition from our guests reaffirms our commitment to providing them an unforgettable experience where they can unplug [from] the hectic pace of modern life.”

“Congratulations to the 2023 Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice winners,” said John Boris, chief growth officer at Tripadvisor. “The travel resurgence we’ve seen throughout the past year has even further heightened the competition. Earning a Travelers’ Choice Award demonstrates that you have provided great experiences to those who matter most: your guests.”

Whether you’re looking for a lodging destination that will keep you cool after a hot day of hiking the trails at nearby Starved Rock State Park during the summer, or a cozy place to stay warm after a day of cross-country skiing during the winter, Kishauwau Cabins can accommodate.

Perched above the beautiful Vermilion River, conveniently located less than ten miles from Interstate 80, Kishauwau's Starved Rock Area Cabins bring guests closer to nature, while providing all the comforts and amenities of home! In light of the recent COVID-19 crisis, Kishauwa has taken extra precautions to make sure their guests can enjoy a safe, and relaxing, stay away from home!

With more than 17 family-friendly luxury cabin units, generously spread across their large property, you and your family will get to enjoy a respite in seclusion, surrounded by towering trees and rolling green grass, perfect for a picnic or game of catch.

Best of all, for a limited time, they'll be offering all their loyal customers and new fans a special 15% discount on their reservations (more on that to follow)!

All 17 cabins are four-season units, capable of keeping guests comfortable the full year round. Furnace heating, as well as indoor wood stoves and gas fireplaces, will ensure the perfect temperature in even the chilliest of Illinois months. And a central air system keeps the cabins cool during the heat of summer. There are even four dog-friendly units, so you won’t have to board Fido during your vacation.

The cabins are spaced out far enough to give guests privacy and a sense of wilderness seclusion, while still being only a short drive from some premier Starved Rock Country attractions in Utica, Ottawa and LaSalle – including 21 miles of state park trails, all located within less than a 15-minute drive of the cabins.

Another amenity that sets Kishauwau’s luxury units apart from other lodging options is the inclusion of full-sized kitchens. All the cabins have refrigerators, stoves, and pantries stocked with the necessary pots, pans, plates and utensils needed to prepare and enjoy meals on site. This comes in addition to the barbecue and fire pits, giving plenty of options for enjoying a meal without having to dine out.
