    Beautiful inn, lovely rooms, delicious breakfasts, warm and caring Innkeeper. A stay at Green Tree Inn in historic Elsah is a step back in time. Comfortable, beautifully decorated rooms and delicious breakfasts await guests, hosted by kind, helpful owner Brenda Coffman. Guests leave Green Tree and Elsah revived and looking forward to future visits. We highly recommend this inn, village, and Innkeeper.


    A great place to stay!

    Our second time in the very charming village of Elsah and our first time staying with Brenda at the Green Tree Inn. The two experiences go together and were both so satisfying. Brenda is very knowledgeable about the area and offered good suggestions for dinner and sightseeing. Her accommodations were very clean and the breakfast was delicious.
