The Lodge is built with limestone and huge timber poles of Douglas fir, western and pecky cypress. The focal point of the Lodge is the Great Room with a massive 700-ton stone fireplace and the soaring 50ft vaulted ceilings, and features a hand-crafted, life-size chess set. Other features include a terrace overlooking the Illinois River, an indoor pool, sauna, and hot-tub; a Restaurant and Winery, separate stone cabins and guest rooms, an event space for weddings, businesses, and other events. Located within the 8,000+ acres of Pere Marquette State Park, it is open year-round and offers an unique experience with nature.
