Top Shawnee National Forest Hotel Reviews

Drury Inn & Suites Marion

8/10 Good

"friendly and helpful staff. Great food with many options to choose from. Great hot tub"

Cabin in the middle of the ShawneeNational Forest. WiFi, ac, full kitchen.

10/10 Excellent

"Great little place, in a good location."

Restored 1910 Cottage Near Shawnee Forest, Lake of Egypt, Wineries, Pet Friendly

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect place for traveling family for a wedding at The Flower Barn"

Small House in Pope County Eddyville, IL surrounded by Shawnee National Forest .

10/10 Excellent

"Rather than pointing out all the positives, we thought we’d be honest and mention a negative…but there isn’t a single one!"

Hot Tub, Stargazing, Ancient Site Nearby

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely relaxing trip. Our main focus was hiking but due to a heatwave we had to switch to early morning walks and more relaxing. It was cooler in the evening and the hot tub was the perfect place to star gaze. The screened in porch was great for breakfast. Space is limited for gourmet meals but simple meals are very doable. The listing does note the bed is in the loft and you have to climb to it. This is true, but I’m a mobile 50 year old and was able to do it easily. My only negative is not enough places to hang towels. There were 2 hooks in the bathroom and that worked but once you added swimsuits and beach towels and needing to hang the couple of dresses I brought not many places besides hanging over chairs. Was close to hiking, wineries, Paducah and Metropolis, all places we wanted to visit. Definitely will book again, when a little cooler and not so hot."

Economy Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and kids stayed for one night at this motel. When we checked in, they realized that they did not have a double bed room ready for us, because they had an unexpected group of people purchase a block of rooms the same night. However, the owner was extremely apologetic and made things right. They quickly cleaned a double bed room for us and ensured there were extra amenities including a coffee maker with supplies and a breakfast basket. Honestly, the room was better than some hotels that I've stayed at before. The room was very clean and had a mini fridge, microwave, and nice mattresses. It seemed like the room had been recently renovated because the flooring, paint, and other details were in excellent condition. We would for sure stay again and recommend! PS - when looking at reviews online for motels/hotels, be sure to use a site that is connected to actual stay. My understanding is that anyone can leave a review on sites like Google, so the reviewer may not have actually stayed at the location."

Charming cabin with AC and WiFi in the middle ofthe Shawnee National Forest.

Charming cabin near Garden of the Gods
