Great place to stay for a weekend at the lake! Tons of room for family friends and huge backyard to play with the kids. Large driveway so if you are bringing a boat it wont be a problem to park it. They had everything you would need!

We had a blast staying at the Longbranch lodge! Plenty of space inside and out! The lodge was clean and well equipped with everything we needed to enjoy the weekend with the family. We had some concerns about the proximity of the saloon to the house but we never heard a sound, even when we were outside next to the fire pit! Our dog enjoyed the large yard and we enjoyed the hiking trails that were nearby! We are planning to stay at the Longbranch next time we are in southern IL.!!!

Very clean site, very roomy. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms a plus. We were even able to park a boat in the garage.
Kitchen had lots of amenities. Like newer refrigerator, gas stove, and dishwasher.
Washer and dryer worked well too.
We plan on using again.

We found the location and site features perfect. Very quiet, clean, and comfortable. The home had plenty of room and the property offered acreage to roam and enjoy the autumn beauty of Southern Illinois. The Owners were wonderful. We would definitely stay again when visiting the area.

I and four friends gathered in a central location to celebrate our friend’s 40th birthday. The owners were very accommodating, and their lodge was more than equipped to handle our group. We’re talking about making an annual meetup out of it we were so happy with the property.
