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.

Excellent place, I will try and stay in this room every time I am in town here. It was clean and relatively quiet. I appreciate the room themes as well

Peaceful stop on a cross country trip for work. We were able to park our 16 foot box truck across from the barn. Martha was proactive in giving directions to get inside, as we were arriving later than initially planned. She had breakfast in the refrigerator for us, and even accomadated my vegan coworker. We were unfortunately unable to meet her, but did meet her son, daughter in law and husband. They were great and her husband showed us around the farm, and we got to see the baby cows. They were the cutest. She also has a dog named Max who greeter me in the morning with a toy. The airbnb is very private and quiet. Would definitely recommend.

They really got it! You feel instantly at home, welcomed by heartedly. It’s a cultural, personal experience here, nothing you can learn, but Mel & Grace are awesome hosts! Open for recommendations what to do here or how people live here. The breakfast is just OUTSTANDING! I got fresh made eggs Benedict, fresh asparagus from their garden, berries and they even gave me a fresh baked cinnamon roll! Couldn’t imagine a better place, it’s worth the price!

Teresa is one of the best hosts I came across after staying in many previous Airbnb's. She was very sweet and helpful. Upon our arrival, she prepared amazing welcome snacks and beverages, gave us a tour of the house, which was spectacular and made sure we have everything we need. In the morning, we were greeted by amazing breakfast. I strongly recommend to everyone and will definitely come back if I'm in town next time.

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.

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!

Cute home in a cute area of Saint Louis. Made for a comfortable stay. As a local, I appreciated the Saint Louis themed decor and representation in the home. Would be great for out-of-towners.

Diane made us feel right at home! I brought my boys basketball team for a tournament in Bettendorf and Diane elevated our experience in Iowa. She let us ride horses, bought the team pizza, made breakfast, had a work out facility and multiple tv’s so the boys were able to game together. I know the boys and I appreciate the hospitality and thank you for making our experience memorable!

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!

Cal's place is a beautiful home and holds so much history. The place was clean and perfect to rest after a long trip. He is a great host!

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!

My aunt and I had a wonderful stay. Such a peaceful, comfortable and historic home. We loved hearing about the history of the home… and history of the area. Kristine and Steve are great hosts. Thanks so much for the recommendations of restaurants and things to do. The breakfasts were absolutely the best! Delicious!!!! Thanks for making a home away from home for us!

Ann’s place is beautiful and just as described, serene. The room was lovely and spotless, with huge windows overlooking the garden. I felt immediately at home meeting Ann and Joe, and Zeb. It was the perfect place for my short stay and I hope to be back!

Nancy spent a lot of time making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The historical background and decor of the house were charming. We will be back!

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

This was a great place! the bedroom and TV room were perfect! even had my own mini fridge! Sherri and Sam were super friendly, but still gave me my space! Was invited to hang out for the Superbowl, and had a wonderful time! Would definitely stay again! Thanks Sherri!

Stayed here for our anniversary with very little planning due to surprising my wife with the trip. Wish we were able to take more advantage of Sarah's services, but we did use the blow up hottub, which was pretty awesome with such short notice. Sarah was an amazing host! Looking for a place to unwind the 420 way? This is your place!

We had a quick trip to Bloomington and the stay was lovely. Very cute private room and bathroom. Spotless and comfortable bed. Hosts were very responsive and provided great instructions for check in. Definitely recommend!

Really cool place, would stay again
