The Only Orvis Endorsed Lodge in Illinois!

Start a tradition to last a lifetime at Harpole’s Heartland Lodge. Once you set foot on the property, you’ll relax into the country lifestyle that permeates the entire 1,200 acres of property. The Heartland atmosphere is truly uncommon, combining the intimacy of a B&B with the service and amenities of a full-scale resort. You’ll immediately feel at ease, with oak floors beneath your feet and the smell of home cooking drifting through the halls. Explore the bluffs overlooking the river valley by ATV, horseback or foot on the resort’s extensive trails. Days begin with made-from-scratch breakfasts and end with country dinners served family style. For corporate retreats, family reunions and romantic getaways, Heartland Lodge is an experience not to be missed!

All Inclusive

Mornings at the Lodge start with a nourishing, homemade breakfast. You fill the daytime hours exploring the rolling hills of this Mississippi River valley, working up an appetite for the country dinner being prepared back at the Lodge. A sunset hayride and bonfire are your nightcaps—and it’s all included in your room rate!

Family

Reunions and weddings call for a special place, and Heartland Lodge is just that. For larger groups, buy out the entire property and you’ll have the staff and 1,200 acres all to yourselves! With the space and time to enjoy one another and hayrides, bonfires and meals included, small family getaways are just as memorable!

Fishing

Heartland’s guide of choice provides convenient door-to-river service for half and full-day fishing trips on the mighty Mississippi. You'll bait sturgeon, catfish, walleye and perch while enjoying the scenery of this legendary river. And keep an eye out for the its other residents too, like otters, beaver and eagles.

Hunting

Pike County’s deer population is legendary and Heartland is known as one of the best whitetail hunting lodges in the nation. Located between the Mississippi and Illinois River drainages, large bucks thrive in this habitat. Guides accommodate hunters of all abilities in pursuit of deer, upland birds, waterfowl and turkeys.

Luxury

Luxury comes in many forms at this "six star" facility. First, in its quiet setting in the rolling hills of its pastoral landscape. Second, in its rooms and suites, each evoking a distinctive feeling with unique decor. And third, in its service, including homemade meals and the personal attention of owners and staff.

Situated between the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers, the Lodge’s 1,200 acres are characterized by rolling hills and scenic views. Explore the paths the deer roam on walking, ATV and horse trails crisscrossing the property. Or bird watch from the comfort of the Lodge, where hundreds of yellow finches nest in the trees.

Romantic

Romance packages are getaways designed just for two. Settle into a new luxury suite boasting a Jacuzzi, fireplace, canopy bed and walkout porch. Explore the countryside on a one hour ATV ride and enjoy homemade meals back at the Lodge. Give your sweetheart your undivided attention and leave the details to Heartland!
