Enjoy a quiet stay at a historic home on a residential brick street. It’s only a 5-minute walk to downtown.
Updated decor with beautifully restored hardwood floors, beautiful windows, and light. There are lots of personal touches, including many plants. Many household amenities for your stay.
It’s a mere 45-minute drive to nostalgic Galena, Illinois, and 10 minutes to Palisades State Park for hiking, camping, fishing, and views of the mighty Mississippi River.
To all of our friends, visitors, and communities, we wish you all a wonderful, safe, and happy 2025. We hope to see you as you travel our highways and back roads.
