Rend Lake spreads across the gentle country of southern Illinois, a big, easy reservoir ringed by woods, winery rows, and small towns off Interstate 57. The SureStay by Best Western Whittington Rend Lake sits right by the water in Whittington, Illinois, next to a local winery and within easy reach of the lake's beaches, boat ramps, and trails.
Quiet, comfortable rooms make a calm base for a weekend on the lake or a night off the interstate, each with a flat-screen TV, microwave, and refrigerator. A free breakfast opens the morning, free parking sits right outside, and the winery next door and the lake's recreation area sit just minutes from the door.
Boaters, anglers, and festival-goers all gather around Rend Lake through the warm months. Settle in and let the lake country slow you down. The state recreation area on Rend Lake adds beaches, an arboretum, and miles of shoreline trails.
