We came to Starved Rock for the first time and decided to stay at the Brightwood Inn. Without any previous B&B experience I didn't really know what to expect. And let me tell you this place did not disappointed us at all. Owners were very nice, room very clean and breakfast they served delicious. Would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a place to stay around this area.

Extremely cute, quaint inn. You'll feel relaxed as soon as you step in. People are very mindful of noise here and it's pretty clear people are here to enjoy nature and have a pleasant stay. The property is beautiful. Traditional architecture on the house, well decorated. Very kitschy! I really appreciated that. I felt a bit as if I stepped into another time, another life during my stay. Coming from Chicago, you won't have an Inn experience quite like this there. The hosts were pleasant and since this place is a B&B, breakfast is made hot to order promptly at 8:30AM and goes till 9:30AM. There is an allocated dining room space with a few tables for the hungry guests. Breakfast menu changed for each of the two days I stayed. I was happily surprised about that! The menu itself has a few options, but the next day... totally different menu! Before the breakfast entree, you can help yourself to muffins, fruits, granola, and coffee provided in the kitchen room and seat yourself in the dining room. Upon ordering, the food comes out in less than 10 minutes hot! Brightwood Inn also has a kitchen area with various glassware accessible to the guests. (they have bottle openers too hehe). There's a communal fridge where guests can write their room name on them to prevent food theft lol. We went a couple days ago, so October. Very quiet, a lot of sitting space outside but since it's a little chilly I didn't take advantage of that much. But I did sit out there and enjoyed a couple glasses of wine during the still nights and man was it peaceful. The only reason I am giving it a 4/5 is the various signage throughout the Inn advising the guests to be mindful of "X" thing. Whether it is remembering to be lift the toilet flusher after because it sticks. I understand this is important information but it was a little tacky. The bed I stayed in smelled like sweat the first night, figured it would change when housekeeping comes by but it did not. Could have been the mattress. I can only speak for my room "Sequoia". I plan on coming here again if I do an overnight to see the parks. I'd wake up feeling refreshed excited for breakfast! And I hardly ever even eat breakfast :)

Our first bed and breakfast experience. We bought a Groupon to try something different. The building and the room (Mallory) were excellent. The room came with a great Jacuzzi for two, and a cozy balcony with a table and seating for two. If you are the type who doesn't believe in clocks, go elsewhere. Check-in is between 3 pm and 6pm, no earlier allowed and later allowed with permission only. Breakfast is after 8:30 am, if are an early riser (and I am) and like to eat earlier (and I sometimes do) you are out of luck. I would never pay full price for the room, but it was a good value with the Groupon.

I needed a getaway from everyday life .... I found this cute B&B on groupon and gave it a shot ... It was worth it ! Very cute place , so peaceful , reminded me of my grandmas land in Europe . Owners are very kind and welcoming ... Best part of breakfast was banana bread my son even asked for the recipe - he loved it ! The owner told him he will be glad to email us the recipe... Very kind ! We will be back my mom loved our pictures and she wants to go visit ...

See all

We had a truly lovely stay, on the third floor aspen suite. Don't miss breakfast, it's excellent.
