My sisters and brother and I were back in Illinois doing some genealogy research recently. When we saw the Timmerman house online, we knew it was the perfect place for our "home base" as we travelled around the countryside. We couldn't have been more pleased which our choice! Our innkeepers were awesome, the food was wonderful, the inn charming with all the amenities! We also loved all the pets that welcomed us! It was THE best time and we laughed more than we have in years...we'll forever be known as the "giggle sisters" after that trip and will have grand memories for years to come. They even shared their family research with us, and it turns out we had some "connections" between our two families, so that was very cool! We'd highly recommend the Timmerman house and if we ever go back for more research, we'll certainly stay here!!!!

This was our first stay at a B&B, we were attending a wedding in the area and found this place. It was absolutely wonderful, Andy and Sandy were very gracious and Sandy is a wonderful cook. Linnsie and I hope to return in the not too distant future and take time to enjoy some of the countryside. Very tranquil and quiet. Wayne E.

We truly enjoyed our weekend get-away at this home filled with charm and comfort. The host and hostess are friendly, pointed us to great restaurants, responded to our needs, prepared outstanding food that met our dietary needs, and all of this with a comfortable kingsize bed and farm atmosphere. We have already told our friends and will return regularly. And it's close to Lake Carlyle! But we will come back in any season just to be pampered and away from crowds.

Being a guest at the Timmermann House was a great experience from the first phone call. Sandy went out of her way to help us plan our weekend. She gave us good advice for dining, made reservations for us, and gave us information on other activities available. Our hosts were flexible about our arrival time, and welcomed us warmly to the clean, nicely decorated home. The food was delicious, even for a very picky eater! We would stay there again and would recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

We arrived early and were greeted with a great smile, a warm welcome and a ready room. We were very comfortable in our room as well as the common area. Sandy is a delightful hostess and our breakfast was plentiful, delicious and beautifully presented. Thanks for the reservations at the Chop House and the insight on running a B&B. What a great get-away weekend!

Sandy and her husband are wonderful, friendly people. This was an amazing experience. I am the mother of two young boys and this stay helped get me back to being the mom I needed to be. Thank you Timmermanns!

Our stay was wonderful. Sandy, our host really went out of her way to help us find things to do and places to eat. We felt very, very comfortable in the house and quite at ease petting all the kittens and dogs. We would certainly go back when we have more vacation. Highly recommended.

I would recommend this B&B to anybody traveling in the area and looking for a great experience. I have family in the area and was lucky enough to stay two nights at the Timmermann House. The coy fish pond and waterfall were so relaxing and the food, throughout the weekend, was amazing. Sandy and Andy have a beautiful home that is surrounded with history. Sitting around with them, overlooking the corn fields, and discussing some of that history reminded me of my days back home in Texas. Their warmth and hospitality was wonderful.

As I pull into the driveway at Timmermann House, I always feel myself start to unwind. I've stayed there often and never tire of the peaceful backyard, country views and lovely rooms. Add to that Sandy's hospitality and wonderful food and you have a perfect getaway. I highly recommend Timmermann House to anyone coming to Southwestern Illinois.

The first time I stayed here, I was inpressed by Sandy's beautiful home and absolutely amazing breakfasts. I have returned many times and each visit I enjoy more than my last. You can have a massage on site, sip some wine on an incredibly tranquil outdoor patio and watch the appearance of more stars than I knew existed. And best of all, you wake up to the most phenominal breakfasts in the world! Sandy is a gifted cook and delightful host.
