Maybe it's the fresh air, the quiet mornings, or the miles of trees… but something about getting away makes you feel a little more like yourself again. 🌲🌲

Garden of the Gods was not the only place showing off yesterday. I caught GOTG at sunrise and was able to sneak to Cave in rock for Sunset. I thought the sun was gonna hide behind the clouds and just as I was packing up to leave while it was still light, I started seeing neon orange bouncing off the trees past me. I got the drone out, popped around the corner of the cave and was surprised by this! If you’re not getting out in the Shawnee and visiting the state parks in Southern Illinois then what are you doing right now 🤣😂 Come Visit Southern Illinois!

🍂 THE FALL COLORS ARE JUST GETTING STARTED!! 🍂

If you’ve been waiting for that perfect fall getaway to the Shawnee National Forest, this might be your sign. 👀🌲

Peak fall foliage for much of the Shawnee is estimated to be around November 10th — and guess what? We still have November 10–13 available at The Shady Roost! 🤎

Imagine crisp fall mornings, winding roads lined with changing leaves, exploring the forest, then coming back to your own little secluded escape. Hot tub evenings, fireside nights, and nowhere you need to be except right here. 🍁✨

The best part? You can enjoy all the beauty of fall without giving up the quiet, cozy getaway you’ve been craving.

📍 The Shady Roost | Cave-in-Rock, IL
🌿 Nestled in the Shawnee National Forest
🗓️ Available November 2nd
November 5th
November 10th-13th
November 17th-19th
November 22nd

Fall colors are weather-dependent, and Mother Nature doesn’t follow a calendar — but if you’ve been thinking about a November escape, now’s the time to make it happen!

🤎 Book your stay directly at www.theshadyroost.com

Relax. Unwind. Roost.
