🍂 HELLO, SEPTEMBER! 🍂

We might be a little biased…but September just might be one of the BEST times to visit Southern Illinois. 🤎

The summer heat starts to ease up, the evenings get a little cooler, the first hints of fall begin showing up around the Shawnee, and there’s still SO much time to get out and explore. 🌲🥾

✨ Hike Garden of the Gods
✨ Take the scenic drive to Cave-in-Rock
✨ Spend a slow afternoon along the Ohio River
✨ Explore our little Southern Illinois towns
✨ Then come back, kick your feet up & stay awhile

We put together a new blog all about why you shouldn’t wait for peak fall to plan your Southern Illinois getaway! 🍁

And while you’re planning…pick your favorite Shawnee Stays property and make a weekend of it. 🏡🤎

Discover why September is the perfect time to visit Southern Illinois. Explore Garden of the Gods, Cave-in-Rock, the Ohio River and Shawnee National Forest while staying with Shawnee Stays.
