5 out of 5Wonderful place to stay
January 07, 2013
Brought my daughter for a mother daughter night away and what a gem we found. Sherry is fabulous the home is beautiful and we had a wonderful time. I've told all my friends about it so they can come and I plan on coming back in the spring/summer with both my daughters to enjoy the lovely screened in porch. Her breakfast is delicious! This is well worth a trip, you will make memories you won't forget.

stayed here for 4 nights on business when I had problems booking my usual hotel; I really enjoyed my stay here - it was almost like a home-away-from home (though a lot more beautiful than my actual home), and Sherry was a wondeful host; also a great restaurant nearby for dinner - fun to hear about the "Murder Mystery"events that Sherry hosts here...we may have to come back and give one of those a try.

Innkeeper has a gift for interior decorating. Loved the attention to detail throughout the house. Enjoyed eating breakfast, family style, with the Innkeeper and the other guests each morning. Hope to come back for a murder mystery event or high tea.

I enjoyed my two day stay at the Old Victorian Farmhouse Bed and Breakfast immensely. I stay at B&Bs regularly, and by far, this one has the best breakfast I'd ever had. It's well decorated, comfortable, and has a friendly staff. Romeo, the house dog, is a love and a nice bonus. He's really well behaved, but adds to the charm of the place. I wish we lived closer to book one of the mystery dinners or high teas. They looked like they would be a lot of fun. Highly recommended.

Restful, peaceful, serene and a bit playful is how we think of this guestroom, with its two twin feather beds, both with white lacy canopies. The blue and white room has a small partners desk, just right for gazing out the bay window, daydreaming or writing in your journal. The large bright bathroom is only steps away.

Words can barely describe the beauty of this suite. Perfect for a honeymoon couple or a private comfort pampering retreat for yourself. The room is dramatic in gold and black, with many small vintage mirrors on the walls, spreading even more light into this big bright room with a king size feather bed. This suite has its own large, luxurious bath area with a Jacuzzi and a bay window. Wonderful for a deep relaxing break from the rush of everyday.

5 out of 5Wonderful B&B in Wauconda
August 01, 2011
Our family recently stayed at the Old Victorian Farmhouse Bed and Breakfast, to attend a family wedding in Chicago. We have a wonderful time there and Sherry was so gracious and nice! The food was excellent, as well as the hospitality. The rooms were quite welcoming. We would definitely recommend this B&B and plan to make this site a family tradition!
5 out of 5Great Breakfast.
