Behold panoramic views of the Shawnee National Forest from this bed and breakfast on top of a hill in Cobden, Illinois. Imagine the events once held in the Ball Room Suite that now houses a claw foot tub and king-size bed. Sleep in the same room where General Ulysses S. Grant once stayed. History is alive in more than just the five guest rooms; watch forest animals drink from rain collecting bowls carved by Native Americans into the side of boulders. In the morning, enjoy a southern style breakfast served on china and in the evening, sip a local Shawnee Hills Wine Country vintage while watching deer from the patio. You can host a beautiful outdoor wedding or intimate bridal shower. Be sure to savor local apples and peaches during the summer and fall harvest. There's also hiking aong the 3.6 mile Little Grand Canyon Trail or playing a round of golf on the five courses of the Southern Illinois Golf Trail.
