The whirlpool should be 90 or above, not lukewarm. They did turn it up but it takes hours to warm. We stay there frequent for health reasons and lost a day due to cold pool/whirlpool. They did respond but took overnight to corrected. New mattresses would be appreciated. Beautiful location and they are making upkeep improvements.

Little big town

The lodge was very nice, deco friendly. The room was nice. The restaraunt was we equipped to handle a large group. Plenty of options to find something to do. A lot of history in this area. Well worth the visit.

Nice place. The only problem is you can get the one in hand and then you have a good day of work so I will have it on your computer when I can come over to my office to see you and I have to work tomorrow and then I can run to the church tomorrow to see you and then I can come over to you get a couple things I can.

It was a beautiful view of Illinois river. The Lodge was beautiful, room comfortable, staff very friendly and helpful. Very close to Grafton area bars and restaurants. My on complaint, most hotels have small refrigerators and a microwave. We were there a couple of days and had leftovers from dinner one night. Couldn't warm them up later?

Clarification upon check in

We stayed a few months ago and fell in love with the restaurant and extra large hot tub. We booked a room to enjoy them both again but both were closed. We spent an hour round trip to get food over it and sat in room watching some rerun because the hot tub was down. Very disappointed

Beautiful hotel. Restaurant had very good food but due to COVID you could only pick it up and take it to your room. They automatically added an 18% gratuity, which seems odd for carry out

Historic Lodge at everyday price.

Like being at one of the Great Lodges in the West, but right here in the midwest. Loved staying in one of the cabins built by the CCC.

Peaceful Cabin

We had some noisy kids running in the hallway right after we checked in and the desk clerk graciously provided us with another room which we really enjoyed… One of the cabins. So grateful, it really made our trip wonderful – can’t wait to come back!

The room Size we received was less than 1/2 of the picture portrayed as the one we chose. And did not have the furniture depicted that we wanted. When we asked about it they said because we booked through a third party, that was what we got, they save their nicer and bigger rooms for those who book directly from them.

This was the perfect retreat for relaxation. The Lodge is a beautiful warm and cozy place. We enjoyed the warmth and welcoming fireplace, the games in the main lobby, the pool, and the beautiful river view from our room! The breakfast was delicious! We took a challenging and scenic hike after breakfast, then enjoyed the new Grafton skyway tram to the Local winery. It was such a quaint and wonderful stay!

This property is beautifully set in a State Park. Lots of outdoor activities to keep you busy for days. The lodge was fantastic as well. Checkers, chess, connect four, cards, and lots more games to keep you busy. The pool and hot tub were very clean and lots of fun. The restaurant has A-MAZING fried chicken. Seriously, don't we at anything else. The winery is wonderful as well. We took a few bottles home after doing a full tasting of their offerings. The woman who served us the wine was knowledgeable, polite, and lots of fun. Overall, what a great retreat. Pro tip: bring snacks as there are no convenience stores close by. Also bring good hiking shoes.
