Turkey Run Inn is a unique and special place to stay within a state park, perfect for family get-togethers or a peaceful getaway. The building is gorgeous, and guests can choose from updated rooms in the inn or cozy, clean, pet-friendly cabins on the grounds, all with good accessibility. The location is great, offering close proximity to amazing and peaceful walking trails, which many describe as the best hiking near Chicago. The staff is amazing, friendly, knowledgeable, and provides wonderful service, going out of their way to ensure everyone is comfortable and enjoys their stay. The inn features a restaurant with a buffet that is worth the money, and the grilled fish is enjoyable, though the sweet tea may not meet expectations. The facility also includes a nice pool and an arcade for kids. Some minor drawbacks include very spotty cell service, a limited TV channel lineup, and occasional housekeeping oversights. The main building's restroom facilities are limited. However, the overall hospitality, incredible setting, and range of activities make it a place guests are eager to visit again.
Great service, very well kept trails, tremendous amount of natural history, wonderful family experience, definately will be back.

Only went to the restaurant. The break buffet was amazing. Everything was fresh. Lots of options. Nice seating. There is an awesome game room with shade games!

I stayed during a work retreat. It was a fun and cozy way to experience the state park. The hotel is close to trails and surrounded by the beautiful fall scenery.
