Nestled in a clearing deep in the forest of White Pines State Park, less than 2 hours west of Chicago, discover White Pines Resort. The showpiece of the resort is a massive log lodge built in the 1930’s which is home to a restaurant known far and wide for its delicious home-style cuisine, generous portions and friendly staff. The restaurant is also host to the Pines Playhouse, a live theater experience which has been providing musical and comedic entertainment for over thirty years. Adjacent to the landmark restaurant is a charming and rustic gift shop filled with nostalgic flavors and precious mementos. Authentic, cozy log cabins provide overnight lodging just a stone’s throw from the lodge. Natural beauty abounds with miles of hiking trails that crisscross over bubbling streams and along moss covered limestone bluffs. This hidden gem is ideal for romantic escapes, family outings, corporate retreats, weddings and weekend getaways from Chicago. Enjoy an amazing experience guaranteed to create good olde fashioned times with family, friends and loved ones which harkens back to a time of simple pleasures and treasured memories. Picture Perfect describes our Wedding Canyon where we host the most beautiful outdoor ceremonies. Rustic yet elegant receptions follow at either of the Resort’s two lodges. With historic and charming log cabin accommodations, guests and the honeymoon couple can stay on premise.
