Makanda Inn - Featured Reviews (232)
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Makanda Inn. It is an amazing bed and breakfast. Breakfast in the morning was delicious. Great hosts. Loved the nearby wineries and hiking. I would definitely recommend staying at the Makanda Inn. Our suite was comfy and clean.
Our visit to Makanda Inn was a birthday surprise for my Partner. The Black Walnut room was outstanding with all the light coming through the windows and sliding door, which looked out to the woods. The beautiful bedroom with the wall of Black Walnut for the headboard was gorgeous! The bed linens were of a very nice quality, and lots of pillows! The glass shower has a rainfall shower head with plenty of room for 2 to fit comfortably. Our breakfasts at 9am daily, were homemade by our Hosts. Delicious and hearty to start our day. A lovely spot to stay amongst the woods! Sincerely, Dorothea L. Gasper Steven P. Klemme
Makanda Inn is a great base for all southern Illinois excursions. We started each day with a hearty breakfast prepared and served by local innkeepers with wonderful stories and excursion suggestions. We hiked and enjoyed nature in every direction from here and returned to an amazingly unique cabin with all the comforts.
We stayed in the Sugar Maple Suite. Our room was very clean and quite comfy, especially the bed. Breakfast served downstairs the next morning was really good and the atmosphere very relaxing. Beautiful wooded area with opportunity to visit close by Giant City State Park. We ate at the state park lodge and enjoyed seeing lodge along ordering a good meal. Some suites have a balcony facing the woods; our suite's porch was along the driveway, but was still pretty and relaxing to sit on.
The sieanna cottage is where me an my husband stayed for our honeymoon! It was so gorgeous, clean, and cozy! The makanda inn is a wonderful place with wonderful people! I appreciate the staff there, they are so kind an friendly! Even tho it rained, it made for a perfect getaway! The breakfast they service is AMAZING, the breakfast quesadillas were absolutely to die for! They set the breakfast up beautifully! This was me and my husband’s honeymoon, and they are outstanding! We are planning our next getaway here! I’m recommending everyone I know going on a getaway to come here!
We spent a long weekend at the Inn when the family had to return to Carbondale for a funeral. Despite that, we had a lovely time at the Inn which is in a beautiful setting, stylishly appointed, immaculately clean, and an all around wonderful place to stay. We rented two of the cabins and one room in the main building. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating, the breakfasts plentiful and tasty, and the prices are so reasonable. If you find yourself in this part of the country don’t hesitate to stay at the Makanda Inn. You won’t be sorry.
Unique stay, comfy beds & beautiful wooded surroundings. We stayed in a cottage, could have been cleaner & we went for breakfast & only got served a tiny bowl of yogurt. We watched while others were served a full breakfast. It clearly stated on the website breakfast was for ALL guests. We won’t be back
I've been staying at Makanda Inn since 2013. I live about an hour from this location, and use my time there to decompress and reconnect with nature. It's an achingly beautiful property, and I highly recommend staying in the cottages. Makanda Inn is the epitome of honest and affordable luxury.
Awesome experience! The staff is amazing. I am afraid of heights, but the guides made me feel safe and secure so I enjoyed the whole trip! Brock and Kate were so informative and fun!! We will definitely be back! And we are bringing our kids this time
Giant City State Park is AWESOME! Not much has changed since my first visit 35 yrs ago, and that is what makes it AMAZING. Its beautiful, hiking paths and everything else you would expect in a state park. But wait, there's more. The Lodge at Giant
A wonderful place in a beautiful, scenic State Park. We enjoyed the family style fried chicken dinner on Thanksgiving. Excellent server, delicious food and I had the cherry crumble for dessert. Perfect if you didn't want to cook for 2. The atmosphere
