Harrisburg Condo | Your Shawnee Forest Getaway — Private Hot Tub, Bikes & Downtown Charm

2 Bedroom Condo in Harrisburg

Wake up, relax, and enjoy a slower pace at The Apartment at 217, your cozy two-bedroom carriage-house apartment in historic Harrisburg, Illinois.
Start your morning with a cup of coffee right upstairs. We provide K-Cups and French vanilla creamer, and there’s also a Mr. Coffee maker if you prefer a traditional brew.
Or, take a leisurely 5–7 minute walk to Steam Café for a latte or breakfast. Along the way, you’ll pass Harrisburg’s beautiful new mural, “Shawnee Sunrise.”
Morello’s Italian Restaurant is a block past Steam Cafe and they have a great variety of salad’s, pizza, steaks, and chicken dishes…and their specialty of fresh baked Italian bread.
Mackie’s Pizza is the community icon for pizza with the Harrisburg Special a favorite. It’s past Morello’s on the opposite side of Poplar Street.
BBQ Barn is a favorite for smoked ribs, BBQ sandwiches, and steaks. They have home baked pies, and cream Horns if you get there before they sell out!
Your Own Private Backyard Oasis
One of my favorite places to start the day is outside on the comfortable patio sofa, relaxing beside the hot tub while listening to the birds sing and the fountains run. Surrounded by blooming patio plants, it’s a peaceful little oasis where you can simply sit back and enjoy being outdoors.
You can also relax in the comfortable living room on the leather sofa, curl up with a good book, or enjoy your favorite shows on the 55” Smart TV with Roku.
On cooler evenings, turn on the electric fireplace beneath the TV and settle in for a cozy night.
Explore the Outdoors
Fall is a beautiful time to visit Southern Illinois!
The Tunnel Hill Bike Trail is just about a half-mile from the apartment, and we provide two bicycles for our guests to use. Walk or ride to the trail and enjoy the changing scenery.
About a half-mile in the opposite direction is Harrisburg Park, with a fenced preschool play area, lagoon, benches, bridges, and flowering trees—a wonderful place to get outside for a stroll.
For even more fall color and adventure, Giant City State Park is a favorite destination for hiking and exploring. Its shorter, kid-friendly trails make it a fun outing for families, too. Garden of the Gods, Indian Rock, Rim Rock, Pounds Hollow, and Giant City State Park are also great spots to see the changing colors of fall colors.
And if you’re looking for more adventure, the area offers opportunities for hiking, kayaking, ziplining, horseback riding, biking, and exploring the Shawnee National Forest.
Everything You Need for a Comfortable Stay
The private upstairs apartment offers more than 800 square feet of living space and is located in a separate building from our home, above our three-car garage.
Inside you’ll find:
* Two comfortable bedrooms

The computer includes shortcuts to some of our favorite trails, restaurants, and area activities, making it easy to do a little research and “know before you go.” Of course, you can also use it to browse the internet or check your plans.
Our small library includes books in a variety of genres, and you’re welcome to take a book outside and enjoy it in the swinging chair on the patio.
A Great Location
The Apartment at 217 is located in the historic part of Harrisburg, just three blocks from the town square.
You’re within an easy walk of local restaurants and a coffee shop, while nearby attractions provide plenty of opportunities to explore Southern Illinois and the Shawnee National Forest.

Easy Check-In
