Nestled about two hours southwest of Chicago amidst several state parks, Kishauwau Cabins is one of the best getaway destinations in Illinois, especially for Chicagoans looking to enjoy some space outside the city.  And, with special pet-friendly cabins, it’s the sort of accommodating place you can bring your four-legged friends.

Four of the 17 cabins on the property are designated as pet-friendly. Each has plenty of space to let your dog enjoy the outdoors, including big lawns. Each cabin has a fire pit, a grill, and outdoor seating.
