At one time, the rumble of freight cars reverberated through the narrow tunnel. Wooden trestles, with their system of slanted supports and horizontal cross pieces, spanned numerous bluffs and creeks. Passengers in Pullman cars clocked the miles with these and other landmarks as they traveled one of southern Illinois' most scenic routes.

Sold cabins to individuals with HOA fees. Unsold cabins are rented out by resort. Owned cabins can not be rented out. HOA fees have been raised for 2022 and are so high that privately owned cabins owners will not be able pay fees or find a buyer with the high fees imposed. Resort wants to run these out and buy them back (at a reduced price) so they can have all for rentals.

The staff were wonderful, loved them. The cabin its self wasn't really clean, we found multiple large wads of hair and dust collecting in places. I spilled something on the floor and when i wiped it up the papertowel was black. Cabins could use a deepclean. Also the website oversells the cabins some. It gave off the impression you get your own boat dock but you don't. Staff while nice are hard to contact and only there from 9-5. It's an ok stay but not entirely worth the price

The Shower was backlogged with so much hair, absolutely disgusting. Very unclean, sofas have who knows what type of stains, dogs barking for 5 hrs straight, this place is far worse than one could imagine. When asked for help, no response. Nobody cares. This place is only looking for your money with absolutely no regards customer support. They are expanding and therefore only need your $$$ to pay for the services. 100% Russian Roulette at this place.
