Foggy View
The cabins were booked Saturday night, so even though we were staying in the area for another day, we had to check out of the Lodge in the morning. For big city travelers, the accomodations are reasonably priced at just under $100 a night. We had a 2 room cabin, which offers a lot of space, with a separate living area, bedroom, and bath area. This also includes a refrigerator, that is very convenient. With the built-in pull-down bed, these cabins could easily be used for a small family.
Outside, there is a pool on site and the observation deck on the water tower to see the countryside. The food at the Lodge restaurant is good. It's definitely American with a Southern slant. The place offers the best-tasting, bursting with blueberries pancakes that I've ever had. To give you an idea about dinner, I generally don't like fried chicken, but theirs is very good.

Plus, the service is friendly, and staying at the Lodge puts you in the middle of the Giant City State Park, yet you're still within 30 minutes of Carbondale and the locales on the Shawnee Wine Trail. It's a great spot. Giant City Lodge is a place that we will likely come and visit again and again.
