Illinois resorts make an easy staycation because most of them sit a short drive from Chicago, the suburbs, or St. Louis. You can play golf in the hills around Galena, hike the canyons at Starved Rock and then swim in an indoor waterpark, or book a spa resort in the western suburbs without a long trip. State park lodges on Lake Michigan and the Illinois River add stone fireplaces and quiet trails. Fall color and winter weekends are a calm time to go.
