POLICIES

Reservations are highly recommended April through December, especially for weekends. Check our Availability Calendar to see if your room and dates are available.

Payment: Payment is due in full upon your arrival. If booking all three guest rooms, payment is due in full 30 days prior to arrival. Credit cards (Visa or MasterCard), personal check or cash are accepted. Room rates do not include the state and local hotel taxes (add another 11%).

Cancellation Policy: As a small family owned-inn, cancellations affect us dearly. Should your plans change, please call us as soon as possible. If reservations are cancelled 15 days prior to your scheduled visit, there will be no charge. Cancellations with less than 15 days notice will be charged the room rate unless the room is re-booked. If you have booked 3 rooms or for reservations during festival events or holidays, 30 days cancellation notice is required. If less notice is given, the room rates will be charged for rooms that cannot be re-booked. “No-shows” will be charged for the entire amount of the reservation.

Children: Because most of our guests are couples on a getaway or celebrating an anniversary, we no longer accept reservations from families accompanied by children under ten years old. If you wish to book all three guest rooms for your family, we can accommodate children in your party. Please call us at 309-927-3506 to make your reservation. Thank you for your understanding.

Arrival and Departure: Check-in is between 3-6 pm unless prior arrangements have been made. Please call us (309-927-3506) if your arrival time will be outside those hours or if you get delayed in your travel. We like to be here to greet our guests, but sometimes we have plans too. Checkout is 11 am. Late checkouts are subject to an additional charge.

Smoking: Smoking is not permitted at the inn or on the property. A cleaning fee of $250 will be assessed for any smoking odors in a guest room.

Pets: We’re sorry but at this time we cannot accommodate pets. The innkeepers have a pet Pomeranian on site.
