    PERFECTION

    October 22, 2012

    I recently stayed at the Inselhaus while doing a speech at Western Illinois University. In short, Dorothee has perfected the art of hosting. Coffee was delivered to my room for walkup, breakfast was delicious, and the home is stunning. My room was comfortable, well decorated, and the sheets were cozy. The icing on the cake was that Dorothee packed me a breakfast for my 7 am train and drove me to the station!!! A+++++ !

    September 11, 2012

    As a musician I travel and have the pleasure of seeing and staying in many places. The Inselhaus is an oasis of simple elegance. Not pretentious but first class all the way. Everything has been thought of by Dorothee -- The best innkeeper and tour guide to your stay. More than just a place to stay, I will come back!

    This was our first stay at a B&B and we will definitely come back to this one and try others. Dorothee makes sure everything is perfect, and it was charming, warm, inviting. The food & accommodations were perfect.

    First Time B&B Experience

    June 12, 2012

    This was my first B&B experience and I absolutely loved it! Dorothee was so much fun and so friendly. The room was amazing, clean and comfortable. The breakfast was served at a large table with other guests and was delicious. She had wine waiting on us when we arrived and we were served coffee on the porch early in the morning. Such a delight and we had a private jewelry showing. What more could you ask for! Would definitely go there again!

    My stay at the Inselhaus was the most delightful I have ever experienced at a bed in breakfast. Dorothee is the perfect hostess, combining wit, humor, and hospitality in a manner that made made me feel at home but also pampered. She went the extra mile to make sure I felt comfortable and had everything I needed, and the breakfast was outstanding!
