Private Romantic Luxury Cabins
Now Available! Call 217.734.2526
Enjoy a private luxury cabin that was built with couples in mind. Located in Pike County Illinois, our resort sits on the bluffs of the Mississippi River overlooking the scenic river valley and the Missouri hills, providing a breathtaking backdrop for your next romantic getaway or vacation. Our private, romantic cabin rentals in Illinois are also the nicest luxury cabins in the Midwest.
Each romantic cabin is decorated with its own unique theme. All cabins are carefully crafted with knotty pine and cedar walls, fifteen-foot vaulted ceilings, hand-carved Old Hickory furniture, high quality fixtures and appliances.
Each cabin with hot tub (Whirlpool tub) also features a romantic fireplace, ultra comfy king-size bed, large 4K Ultra HD television with 4K Blu-ray player for next level viewing experience, relaxing private deck with barbecue grill, kitchen, sofa and private fire pit to roast marshmallows or to make your own s’mores. The Double Barrel and Long Shot Cabins also have sleeper sofas.
You won’t want to leave the pleasure of these cabins, but we encourage you to take time out and enjoy our different activities or sightsee at the many local attractions that are an easy drive from the resort. There are two sets of cornhole games for the private luxury cabins as well, providing a fun entertainment option for you and your guests, no matter the age! Unwind and have a great time with this classic game right at your doorstep! ATV riders are able to park their ATVs and trailers close to the cabins in our parking area.
Each cabin has a fully equipped kitchen for those of you who enjoy cooking your own meals. Or if you prefer, you may enjoy our home-made meals, dine out at one of the local restaurants or choose from our favorite meal options.
There are four private cabin rentals, all with unique names:
Double Barrel Cabin – View Pictures>>
Decoy Den Cabin – View Pictures>>
Long Shot Cabin – View Pictures>>
Charlie’s Cabin- View Pictures>>
(See below for history behind the names of each cabin.)
These four cabins are located close to each other. Double Barrel and Charlie’s Cabins are next to each other. Decoy Den and Long Shots Cabins are next to each other and within short walking distance to the other cabins. All four of these luxury cabins are located right across the road from our Original and Prairie Ridge Lodges.
Whether you are looking for a honeymoon cabin or a cabin for your anniversary, these getaway cabins are perfect for your romantic destination. Curl up on the couch and enjoy the cozy fireplace, soak in the heart shaped two person hot tub, relax on the ultra-comfy king sized bed, take in nature and enjoy the outdoors on your private deck, or watch the stars and share stories as you sit around your own camp fire.

Charlie’s Cabin (1st cabin…closest to the road)
Charlie, the owner’s lab, is a nod to loyalty, comfort, and the quieter joys of lodge life. While Charlie may not win any awards in the field, she’s a champion napper and expert in relaxation. Her easygoing spirit lives on in this warm and welcoming cabin. It’s a peaceful escape with plenty of personal touches, laid-back charm and tail-wagging comfort.. just like man’s best friend would want. Keep your eyes open for her- she enjoys lounging by the kitchen door looking for scraps. (Please don’t feed her.. she’s on a diet 🙂 )
Double Barrel Cabin
More than a name, Double Barrel is a salute to hunting heritage. The weight of craftmanship, the echo of the past and the thrill of the moment. Like a well-balanced shotgun passed down through generations, it represents strength, precision, and the enduring bond between land and tradition.
Long Shot Cabin
Long Shot tips its hat to the upland hunter—shouldering the moment, flushing birds from golden grasses, and taking aim at fast wings and distant skies. It’s a nod to the challenge of the shot you almost don’t take, the thrill of the rise, and the timeless pursuit of pheasant and quail across the fields of Heartland Lodge—where every step is a story waiting to be told.
Decoy Den Cabin (Last cabin..furthest from the road)
Decoy Den honors the rich, storied traditions of waterfowling along the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers in Pike County. It speaks to early mornings in the blind, hand-carved decoys, and the deep-rooted waterfowling traditions that shape both hunter and heritage. At Heartland Lodge, it’s more than a name—it’s a call back to where the hunt begins.
