Located on 98 scenic acres, Oakridge Manor is centrally located between the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, providing the perfect location for a Southern Illinois bed and breakfast getaway.

Valentine's Day will be here soon - a perfect time for a late winter romantic get-away. Come and relax at the beautiful Manor.  Sip a little wine,  visit an antique store or go for a winter walk in the Shawnee Forest.  We are centrally located for the numerous area activities found in Southern Illinois. You may enjoy taking time to visit the parks in the Shawnee National Forest, tour the local wine trails, ride the Tunnel Hill Bike Trail, schedule a horseback ride or visit the antique stores in Marion, IL and Benton IL. Enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the Manor whether you are reading a book in the spacious living room, relaxing by the swimming pool, watching thoroughbred horses in the pastures, or enjoying the brilliant night sky from the numerous deck or patio areas. Deer, wild turkeys, fox, and even the occasional coyote roam the property.

Head east or west from our Southern Illinois lodging to explore more of this wonderful area. Going east you can visit and hike at Garden of the Gods, Rim Rock, and Pound Hollow. At Elizabethtown, you can eat some great catfish on a floating restaurant called the E Town Cafe. After lunch, take a short drive to Cave-in-Rock and view the Ohio River from the tall river bluffs. Other parks to the east of us include Lusk Creek, Bell Smith Springs, and Dixon Springs. The scenic hiking opportunities don't stop there! Heading west will take you to Giant City and Ferne Clyffe State parks as well as the Little Grand Canyon, Natural Bridge, and Herron Pond. You are deep in the heart of the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail with over a dozen different wineries for your sipping and enjoyment. Speaking of wineries, the Southern Illinois Wine Trail is directly to our south and offers another six wineries for your tasting pleasure.  Marion is heart of good eating in Southern Illinois and we are only 9 miles away - closer than almost any other B&B.  Oakridge Manor is a member of the Illinois Bed and Breakfast Association (IBBA) and the Professional Association of Innkeepers International (PAII).
