Past meets present
at our Illinois prairie retreat
Since 1912, the Inn has been a landmark in the Lincoln Way community. We purchased the house in 2013 and began renovations in 2014. Our doors opened as a countryside getaway in June of 2015, and we completed the Carriage House the next year.
Carved round columns, original leaded glass windows, square foyer staircase banisters, oak and pine plank floors, and a massive oak pocket door are a few of the original features of the home lovingly preserved and restored.
