We spent three days in Taylorville and were exceedingly hppy with our stay. Myrna and Joe were superb hosts and always were ready to meet our needs. From the wine at night to sitting on the porch eating watermelon the entire stay was superb. Excellent breakfast at the time you chose, superb roos with a comfortable bed. We stayed in the Chimney room which was lovely. Wholeheartedly recommend the Inn

5 out of 5Great Time at a Beautiful Inn run by Wonderful People!
November 11, 2012
Paula and I and a group of our friends just completed a weekend at Market Street Inn. We all just had a wonderful time. Joe and Myrna are so friendly and enjoyed sitting on the wrap around porch with our group. The home is beatiful and the breakfast is very fine. Enjoy the walk to the town sqaare and ask Myrna about the Saturday tour to help wind the Town Square clock.

Sorry to be leaving today. Everything has exceeded our expectations! Our hosts are more than accommodating! The rooms are gorgeous! Can't wait to come back. We will definitely be recommending this. .
5 out of 5Class Reunion Weekend
October 01, 2012
The inn is beautiful and well located just a block from the downtown area. The room was spacious and very comfortable. The food is excellent and the afternoon wine/appetizer offering was an excellent beginning to our Saturday evening. The best part, imo, is getting to visit with the owners and other guests on the spacious front porch. Myrna and Joe are friendly, helpful and just fun to hang with. I don't intend to stay anywhere else when I visit Taylorville.
