Plenty of bodies of water can be found throughout the Land of Lincoln, so finding accommodations on the water is actually quite an easy task. From the shores of Lake Michigan to the nearly 3,000 lakes, 84,000 ponds, and 880 miles of rivers along its borders, Illinois has plenty of waterfront real estate. If you’re in need of a waterfront stay, head to East Dubuque along the Mississippi River where you can book a charming getaway in Illinois.
