Bed and breakfast holiday 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.

I loved my stay at Larry's home! He was a great host and made the most delicious breakfasts. I enjoyed getting to know him and the other guests over the meal. Larry also shared his Mobot pass, and my partner and I walked 5 mins to the garden spent an entire day wandering around the grounds. I did hear a bit of sound at night, but I brought earplugs so it was no problem. The room is spacious, and it was simple to check out. I only wish we got to share one more breakfast with Larry :).

Brandon and Sam’s Place was perfect for us it was close to the city. It was easy to take Ubers. we loved walking down the street to Whole Foods. There was also a beautiful Catholic cathedral with mosaics that we went to go explore around the corner Their place was so homey it felt like we were staying with family!! It was very peaceful and quiet. The bed was so comfortable and cozy! I honestly can’t wait to come back. Brandon and Sam are very generous. We enjoyed a bagel one morning!

Wonderful staff, wonderful setting, wonderful weekend!

Vikki is a fabulous Hostess! She's friendly, helpful and I felt very comfortable the minute I stepped into her home. If I'm in the Peoria area again, I would absolutely try to stay with her!! Beautiful, large home and this stay I had my own bathroom! Loved it!! Oh, can't forget to mention Bernice and Kitty! :)

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

We really enjoyed this Airbnb! They had such clear instructions both in the bathroom and kitchen - I wish more Airbnb’s were that thorough.

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!

Renee’s place was perfect for a Mother/Daughter weekend getaway. It was clean, nice, and the breakfast was delicious.

Michael has a quirky, dry and fun sense of humor which immediately puts you at ease. He met us just as we drove up and helped with the luggage which was a huge help since we were on the 2nd floor with no available elevator. This place is the perfect location if you want to be in the center of the town. Although we were warned about the train passing through the town, we enjoyed the sound of the train and its horn. Though we forgot to eat (or take) the homemade bread left for us, Michael assured us it was delicious.

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!

Steve was a fantastic host. The food was fantastic and the recommendation for dinner was spot on! We really enjoyed our stay.

Tammy was extremely friendly. The house/room were excellent. We'd come back in a heartbeat. Thanks!

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 :)

Evelyn was a great host! She made us feel like at home. If I were in the area again I would stay again!

Super nice hosts who travelled the world!

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

The dollhouse was an awesome experience! Melissa and her husband were so warm welcoming, very helpful! Cookies were delicious! I would definitely come back!

Melissa was very welcoming and the space was easy to find and not far from Hermann

The Great House is still as charming and lovely as ever. Thank you so much for letting us stay here!

We enjoyed the location so much we booked the next 2 nights as well. We started with the Garden Room, which was tidy and comfortable, but the next nights we were in the Trail Room which had the bonus of having a full length porch complete with porch swing and beautiful sunrise views. We loved that and spent a good few hours visiting on the port swing! Highly recommend this. Convenient location for trips to Hermann or elsewhere.

Really cool place, would stay again

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.
