Bed and breakfast holiday rentals in Central Illinois

Always a privilege to stay with the Buckmans. Peaceful, convenient, and very friendly. Can’t wait till the next time we can stay again.

Paula was kind and helpful. My bedroom was lovely with an en suite private bathroom and comfy bed and recliner. It’s quiet in the country. She also provided a delicious breakfast and was flexible with last minute changes to my check in.

beautiful place. we rented one room but were the only ones in the whole b&b. it was so peaceful and beds were extremely comfortable

We stayed for a softball tournament in Muscatine, with a couple other families. The space was huge and beautiful with lots of fun stuff for the kids to do and outdoor space to explore. It was an easy 30 minute drive to the ball field! Paula was very kind and made delicious breakfast. We will definitely stay again if we have other tournaments in the area.

Lovely vacation stay! The restoration of the church made this such a unique and fun experience. Excellent hosts.

Paula made us feel right at home. Beautiful home. Our room was large ,very nice furniture ,great amenities. Breakfast was outstanding! We had our choice of 15 or more menu items served family style. We really enjoyed her hospitality. Price was very reasonable.

My boyfriend and I were looking for a quick getaway and reserved a two night stay at Blessings. When we booked we knew nothing about Jacksonville and only after I started looking into Blessings MORE did I realize it's an award-winning Bed and Breakfast! Needless to say, the award they received is justified. The home is beautiful inside and out. Their large front porch is my favorite spot. The Innkeeper Gwenn made us feel at home from the moment we stepped inside. Lovely conversation and hospitality. Gwenn told us she's always wanted to be an Innkeeper and you can tell by the way she keeps her home that it's a passion of hers. My favorite meal of our stay was our first breakfast: poached pears with raspberry glaze, coffee, orange juice, fresh waffles with a scoop of ice cream, whipped cream and syrup all next to a big window at a table for two with china and fancy glasses. Decadent? Yes. But isn't a getaway supposed to be? The Tranquility room itself is beautiful. It has a comforting air that let's you know you can put your feet up and relax. The clawed bathtub was glorious. There were multiple robes, extra towels, bath salts and other little details (sewing kit?! fake fireplace that flickers throughout the night?!) that we kept finding around the room. And if that isn't enough, Gwenn offered us milk and cookies at bedtime within 30 minutes of meeting us. Um, yes please. My own mother didn't give me milk and cookies at bedtime! So if you're looking to be treated like you've come home, Gwenn delivers. We'll be back!

My daughter and I were coming to Hannibal to be vendors at a local steampunk festival. I was looking for a place with some privacy, flexibility, close proximity to the downtown area, and enough space for us to keep our extra wares. I am not one to enjoy staying in overly sanitized cookie-cutter hotels, and I much prefer a historic building with charm & ambience. Kristine's beautiful brick Victorian home, checked off all of those boxes. Not only that, but she makes the most amazing breakfasts, and really goes the extra way for guests. They also have two beautiful kitty cats that live on the property, that would greet us as we came and went. It truly felt like home and everyone was so kind. I would 100% stay again.

I really needed a nice place to stay to break up my drive from Michigan to Missouri. Luckily for me Gwenns place was the midpoint. Really beautiful home, and the room itself was incredibly spacious, with its own sitting room, extremely comfortable bed, and a lot of thoughtful details (snacks, cold water, etc). As a very light sleeper it was also super quiet throughout the entire night. All the homes on this street are very nice and you can really see what this town must have been in its prime. The work that Gwenn and others are doing to preserve these living pieces of art is incredibly important and I genuinely hope that with a percentage of the population now able to work from home, that we shift young people back to these communities where they can bring new life into them and their own social connectedness and mental well being. Gwenn also creates a personalized breakfast which was great. For me Oatmeal, juice and a pot of coffee. I recommend a stay here if you find yourself anywhere near Jacksonville, Illinois.

Michael has a quirky, dry and fun sense of humor which immediately puts you at ease. He met us just as we drove up and helped with the luggage which was a huge help since we were on the 2nd floor with no available elevator. This place is the perfect location if you want to be in the center of the town. Although we were warned about the train passing through the town, we enjoyed the sound of the train and its horn. Though we forgot to eat (or take) the homemade bread left for us, Michael assured us it was delicious.

I loved my stay! I enjoyed the beautiful and historic home and my room was cozy and comfortable. The Continental breakfast and kitchen was nice.

Steve was a fantastic host. The food was fantastic and the recommendation for dinner was spot on! We really enjoyed our stay.

I really enjoyed my experience at the Vrooman mansion. They paid a lot of attention to detail, I was met on arrival and given a tour of the place, and breakfast was absolutely fantastic. I've stayed in many Airb&bs, and this is one of the very best.

Honestly this place and the hosts are superb. The house is also a designated museum and you will see why when you stay. Everything is perfect. Jim is a great host and makes you feel comfortable immediately you set for inside. Sandy is also great and compliments Jim's style beautifully. Just stay there.

We are a group of 10 sisters/cousins. For 20+ years we have been staying at B&Bs as a group for 4 days once every year. Margaret and Kevin's B&B (Whispering Woods) is undoubtedly the NICEST B&B we have encountered. Margaret and Kevin are extremely accommodating, welcoming, friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The home is lovely, the beds are very comfortable, there was plenty of room for our group to gather and visit, play games or craft. We are hoping to make a return trip next year when the weather is warmer in order to enjoy the pool, patio and beautiful setting. We give this B&B A++++++ Thank you again Margaret and Kevin we had a FAB-ulous time :)

A wonderful stay in a beautiful and historical property that felt like a home away from home. Linda was the perfect host. Kind and responsive and always available with help and advice on where to eat and what to do in Galesburg. This is going to be my place to stay in Galesburg.

This experience at the Great House was amazing! We enjoyed it thoroughly, and we would recommend it to everyone.

The Great House is still as charming and lovely as ever. Thank you so much for letting us stay here!
