    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!

    Great Breakfast.

    Fun, fun, fun! I recently brought my family to the Murder Mystery Dinner and it was great fun for all ages. We had so much fun preparing for our roles and play-acting through the appetizers, dinner and dessert. The food and fellowship was great. It was instant friendship with all of the participants. Thanks for such a memorable experience. The Vadnais Family

    We were looking for a pleasant B&B not too far from Chicago, as we had plans to visit the museums in the city. The Old Victorian more than fit the bill - the room was cozy, Sherry (the inn-keeper) was very accomodating and helpful, and the breakfasts were delicious! Her companion animal Romeo, the standard poodle, was a most congenial host. We decided on a whim to participate in the Murder Mystery; it was decidedly the right choice and was a blast! We will definitely return again when our plans take us back to the area for another get-away, and will recommend the Old Victorian to our friends as well.
