If you are looking for a place to escape from the city for the weekend - this is it! Cute cabins in wooded seclusion. Stayed in honeymoon cabin - hubby took advantage of the heart shaped jacuzzi. Ample room, good sized bathroom and lovely walk to winery for tastings and a meal. Only concerns are better reading lights for bedtime... More

My husband and I have now had two romantic getaways to the Silent Forest Retreat Cabins. Once was for an anniversary celebration, and the other was a get away from it all Wednesday. The cabins are lovely. The heating/cooling unit is effective, albeit loud. I don't like the lack of counter space in the bathroom. And those are my only... More

The first time I took my wife to Hidden Lake Winery, she didn't have a clue to where we were heading. On the way to this hidden gem, there is nothing but farmland (corn crops galore). All of a sudden you land into this enchanted area. The ambiance is great. The cabins are cozy and inviting for quick romantic weekend... More

We stayed in one of the honeymoon cabins last month at the Aviston Hidden Lake Winery. I would of given this an excellent rating except for a few shortfalls I'll touch on in a bit. There were 2 couples in our group, all of us in the late 40's to early 60's range in age. Check in was easy, our... More

Without our GPS, I think we might still be looking for Hidden Lake Winery. We didn't really get to enjoy the grounds, since the weather was not user-friendly the 2 nights we were there. The cabins are very well designed and well-kept. The lights are on switches like I had never seen, and we had to go back to the... More

Great room...nice brunch...live music in wine garden. Favorite item....the "James Taylor" sounding musician during breakfast-brunch..so relaxing and lovely. Could have stayed all day just listening to him. Wonderful country setting with nice evening restaurant and morning brunch on Sundays. Personnel were all friendly and courteous. Would return...only draw back...small kitten using our porch rug for you know what.

My husband and I were wanting a get-away close to home this was the perfect trip..We started our trip by visiting the Okawville Original Springs Spa which is about 20 min away..I highly recommend doing this to add some relaxation to your trip. We are not big wine drinkers so we mainly went for the cabins. We started out in... More

My wife and I were in the area for a family reunion when we happened onto the winery. I checked the reviews on TA and decided to stay for one night during the long 4th of July weekend. Location: East of St. Louis just south of Trenton. The cabin was a deluxe and very nice with a great bed and... More

My husband and I went to Silent Forest Cabins for our anniversary. We found it topnotch! The cabin was very comfortable with a king size bed and a wonderful jacuzzialong with a little kitchen nook that has a microwave and mini-frig. What more can you ask for? It was tucked into the woods which made a cozy, leisurely atomsphere that... More
