November 02, 2012
The innkeepers were extemely nice, the breakfast served both morning we stayed was glorious. the town was small and quaint. We stayed in the summer house and having the bathroom facilities in the main sleeping room was a little awkward. and the fans and heat needed to be updated as they were very loud. But the innkeepers friendliness and cleanliness will have us going back, but maybe visiting another room
4.6 out of 5Absolutely charming and comfortable
October 28, 2012
In October 2012, we stayed one night at the Corner George Inn, located in a tiny but idyllic community nestled in the hills of Illinois. Stepping into the inn--which houses a general store and a ballroom--was truly like stepping back into time; the inn has the look and feel of an 1800s hotel. The innkeepers are passionate about both the inn and the community and their respective histories. Our room was very comfortable, and the ballroom provided a great space for just relaxing; I enjoyed playing the piano and the pump organ located in the ballroom. On the afternoon of our arrival, the innkeepers pointed us in the direction of area attractions, and we particularly enjoyed exploring the partially reconstructed Fort de Chartres. The next morning, the innkeepers served us a hearty and delicious breakfast in the ballroom. I wish we had had more time to stay because the inn is so charming and comfortable, the innkeepers are so interesting and dedicated to historic preservation, and there are so many other historic sites to see near by. We plan to come back and bring friends.

5 out of 5A Great Getaway!

We felt like we took a step back in time. The B&B is in an old German town away from it all. We enjoyed the local wineries and restaurants. The room and breakfast was great!

August 14, 2012
My husband and I stayed one night at the Corner George and we loved every minute! The inn has a rich history and David and Marcia are very knowledgable and love to share the stories. They are both extremely friendly and you couldn't ask for better hosts. The house is charming. We didn't see the loft rooms or the summer kitchen, but the inn itself is full of character, and restored beautifully. We would love to return some day!

5 out of 5Loved the Corner George
April 30, 2012
My wife and I had a great stay at the Corner George Inn. Very neat history of the Inn and town, and all of the restoration work is excellent! There are many fine antiques in the Inn as well. David and Marsha are very friendly with a lot of interesting stories to share. They truly are proud of all that they've accomplished and it shows. Good for them! We're already planning another visit.
5 out of 5Ah-Maeys-ing!
November 19, 2011
The Corner George Inn is truly one of the loveliest B&Bs you'll ever find. David and Marcia create an experience that extends far beyond the typical bed and breakfast. This is a very small town, but there are so many cute places to visit and shop. We loved the General Store (check out the Shaker boxes!), Coffee Shop and Historical Museum. David helped us plan our day with trips to French Forts and hiking trails. Our rooms were very comfortable and the dining room makes you feel like you are visiting in the grandest of style! We will definitely be back!
