Bed and breakfast vacation rentals in Central Illinois

Ryan did the research. I instantly felt at home. A haven of coziness. He provided everything, so much more then other affordable Airbnb's. He was very considerate when providing amenity. Gourmet coffee, spices, washer/dryer, toiletries and more. Ryan deserves a big fat 'A'. Thanks for a great stay and being the best Airbnb I've ever been to.

Like myself, I'm sure many people book this for the history and legacy of Yogi Berra and the New York Yankees but the hosts, Mary and Jay are equally important. They are the most wonderful, down-to-earth people. Mary is Yogi's niece so hearing stories about Uncle Yogi was amazing! The house is immaculate and welcoming with Yogi memorabilia. Mary and Jay drove us around the neighborhood on their golf cart to see where Yogi played ball and the wonderful neighborhood called The Hill. As we drove around, folks in their front yards waved hello to Mary. It was a step back in time where neighbors all know and look out for each other. It is a wonderful area with Italian bakeries and restaurants, all within walking distance of the house. Breakfast was ready for us in the mornings (Jay makes a mean breakfast). Even if you're not a Yogi and Yankees fan, you should consider staying here because of the location and the wonderful hosts.

As others have said, it’s hard to review Brandon’s place because it’s so wonderful that I don’t want to reveal this secret! I could go on and on but I’ll keep it brief- easy to get to, gorgeous walkable neighborhood, clean , quiet, so comfy. Wet had such a great stay and only wish it had been longer!

Gleydys was the best host ever! She made us feel so welcome in her home and provided the most delicious breakfast which was a bonus! She shared wonderful history with us and offered great suggestions for surrounding activities and sights. We fel so much love from her and I will definitely return to stay with her again. She's the Best!!!

TL;DR: we had a great stay, even if we brought the rain with us. We booked Larry’s pink room for a quick mother-daughter weekend adventure, and it was the perfect fit for us. Strong marks for convenience, price, and comfort (just make sure you can parallel park, that’s 90% of your options in STL). The pink room has a lovely firm mattress (Queen) and good closet space. There’s a small couch by the window which was great for reading when we needed a break from exploring the city. Larry keeps a small fridge in the room with some complementary beverages, plus a triple USB port for easy charging of your devices. Lots of windows if you’re luckier than we were and actually see the sun on your visit. The pink room uses a shared bathroom, which was perfectly fine for us. Larry had lots of great suggestions for local activities/food, and breakfast helped us fuel up for our day! Day one was a full English style breakfast, day two was a lovely veggie frittata and waffles! Would stay again!

Vikki has an absolutely beautiful home and we really enjoyed our stay. Honestly, I never rent rooms… we prefer to rent an entire place but with the holidays there wasn’t much available so we decided to take a risk and rent a room from Vikki. Our stay exceeded our expectations on every level. Her rooms are mostly rented by medical professionals. The place is quiet and sparkling clean. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

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

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!

Rachelle was amazing! She's friendly, helpful and makes an amazing breakfast! The home is clean and I loved the history of the home she shared with us. Rachelle made us feel comfortable and like we'd been friends forever!

Michael is outstanding! The place was incredible. Historic downtown building with beautiful rooms and central to everything you’ll want to see in Hannibal. I can’t wait to visit again and when I do, I will definitely be staying here.

I was out on the Katy Trail for a "race" so really needed a place to just land for the night but since it was the Christmas holiday there weren't a lot of options. Kathy communicated and worked with me from the start so I could stay there and she could still spend time with her family. This is a place to stay if you want to be pampered and is near a lot of wineries so is priced accordingly. It was a little out of my price range, but like I said, I didn't get to take advantage of all the usual amenities due to time. Kathy was PHENOMENAL and made me a delicious breakfast, and packed up leftovers plus extra that sustained me and made for a happy belly several days on the trail. This is a beautiful Victorian building with loads of charm and quality everything. I wish I could have actually had time to chill and enjoy it all because Kathy makes you feel right at home.

Tammy was a wonderful host. Her home was beautiful and spotless. We had a great time enjoying the countryside and visiting the various covered bridges in the area. Tammy had great recommendations for where to eat in the area and her breakfasts were delicious. She even sent home muffins for our kids which was so sweet of her.

We enjoyed our stay at Old Vine Bed &Breakfast! Location was great, well within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Great hosts! Went above and beyond to make us feel welcome!

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.

This was the second stay for my husband and I. It has easily made the list of one of our local staycation spots. It’s no fuss, simple, and super cute. Evelyn is a great host and easy to communicate with.

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 :)

Ann and Joseph were warm and welcoming. Their beautiful home was perfect for our weekend trip. Everything was squeaky clean and neat, and they even had a coffee and snack station right outside our room. Would definitely recommend!

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

Our stay was great! We were only able to be there for a short while but they were very hospitable and the entire place was very cute and cozy. We also LOVED, Leo, the little orange cat with no tail <3

Linda’s home was a beautiful historical home with more of a Bed and Breakfast feel to it. We were able to explore each room in the home and even played some of the instruments that were left out.. The continental breakfast was a nice touch in the morning with coffee and tea available at any time including local pastries. At breakfast we met other travelers that stayed at the home. Linda was always responsive with our questions. We would definitely stay here again.

Very convenient location near university and historic neighborhood.

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.
