My partner and I had a wonderful time staying at this tucked away yet easily accessible (close to the U-Bahn and lots of great food and coffee) gallery loft. Our hosts were super kind and attentive, and the space was unique and very special! We would absolutely come again.

The neighborhood, with so many beautiful trees!

Easter weekend hiking

We had a blast staying at the Longbranch lodge! Plenty of space inside and out! The lodge was clean and well equipped with everything we needed to enjoy the weekend with the family. We had some concerns about the proximity of the saloon to the house but we never heard a sound, even when we were outside next to the fire pit! Our dog enjoyed the large yard and we enjoyed the hiking trails that were nearby! We are planning to stay at the Longbranch next time we are in southern IL.!!!

We found the location and site features perfect. Very quiet, clean, and comfortable. The home had plenty of room and the property offered acreage to roam and enjoy the autumn beauty of Southern Illinois. The Owners were wonderful. We would definitely stay again when visiting the area.

Birthday weekend

I and four friends gathered in a central location to celebrate our friend’s 40th birthday. The owners were very accommodating, and their lodge was more than equipped to handle our group. We’re talking about making an annual meetup out of it we were so happy with the property.
