    We were looking for an historic hotel near Peoria. Found the Cornerstone Hotel and it looked interesting . We stayed there and it was more than interesting; it was magic, it was beautiful, comfortable, beautifully brought up to date from it's 1870's origins without losing any charm. The woman who runs it made us feel welcome, very friendly and helpful. This is a great place to stay if you want to experience what is right about hotels. It sits on Washington Square in the heart of the town. I highly recommend it; the cost is so reasonable. And it's only 20 minutes outside of Peoria.

    Aunt Daisy's Bed & Breakfast - Enjoying breakfast and great conversation with Michelle, the owner who is absolutely doing what she was meant to do!

    We went a bit out of our way to stay at Aunt Daisy's on our bicycle trip from St. Louis to Chicago…read more Oh, are we glad we did! We received a welcome as warm as any of our own aunts could or would have given us, including an offer to put our heat-&-humidity-drenched clothes outside our room so innkeeper Michelle could pop them in the washer and dryer. We've stayed at over 100 B&Bs all over the country, and this one is one of the very best. The building looks a bit plain from the street but is full of amazing woodwork and stained glass inside. Our room was spacious, well laid out, and immaculately clean. The bed was so comfortable we had one of the best rests so far this trip. Breakfast was so wonderful we took a photo for our travel blog. We had mentioned the night before how hard it was to find good fresh vegetables at restaurants and cafes in the Midwest. Well, we had a zucchini, spinach and cheese omelet and a grilled tomato with goat cheese, plus lgrilled apple slices lightly dusted with cinnamon sugar, all from of course fresh ingredients. Wow! We strongly urge cyclists to check this place out. In fact, go way out of your way for this one. It's 2 blocks from an OK restaurant and just under 15 miles from the north end of the Rock Island Bike Trail, a good rail trail to or from Peoria. You'll find friendly, helpful hosts in Michelle & Glen, and have a stay worth writing about.

The hosts (Pat and Tim) were friendly, answered questions, and treated us wonderfully. The shrimp (grilled over wood) was amazing, as were the breakfasts (eggs fresh from the on site chickens!). We (wife and I) enjoyed the hiking (I'd rate it as moderate to challenging, some of the hills are quite steep). There is a long staircase (with 'rest stops') going to the bottom of the hill. Excellent location to relax (a small stream to cross) and soak in the surroundings. If you are a bird watcher, there are many to watch and hear. It's a bit 'back to nature' - as there are no toilets/baths in the cabins (the bath house and 'outhouse' were very clean and comfy.) They are just a very short walk from the cabins. We enjoyed the place (very cozy cabin with electric heat and a wonderful view, as well as the outdoors) , the hosts, and the 'recharge' time we had, so much that we booked another weekend in May. I'm sure it will be 'all new' with the foliage and blooms popping out by that time. If you enjoy the outdoors, want to 'get away from it all', relax and come experience this little 'Peace of Earth'. ~TH

    First impression: WOW! How many times can you say to your friends and family that you stayed in a…read moregrain bin? It's incredible how transformed it is inside! Marcia is a wonderful hostess. Very flexible, welcoming and great conversationalist! She called to make sure we arrived all right since we were getting in late, and gave us plenty of breakfast options for the morning. It was gorgeous to see the moon out the window in the bedroom loft and be away from the city lights. We even woke up to birds happily chirping right outside our window, too! The silo is quite roomy, perfect for quiet getaways away from the noise of modern day life. There are modern amenities like a TV, but why bother when you can enjoy snuggling around the ironcast fireplace? We will definitely be recommending this once in a life time experience to all Starved Rock/outdoor adventurers!

My friends had indeed decided to take me away from my groom-to-be for a weekend to be just-us-girls together. They set their choice on a rustic retreat, far from the city and all the book-induced headaches that we all shared as students/instructors at U of C. So after a little ride in Mimi's old faithful we arrive in the outskirts of Ottowa and park in front of a silo. The weather is really grey, a cold wind is blowing and we are welcome by Marcia, the lady of the house. Emmanuelle quickly leaves us behind to go say hi to Mary-go-round, the local mare while we patiently listen to Marcia explaining all the high and lows of the area. If you don't know where to go, what to do or what to eat - she's definitely your woman and an endless well of information............ The premises are nice but not fancy. The silo we stayed in was newly renovated and it showed - there's a neat mezzanine with a queen size bed and a couple pieces of furniture, a adorable bathroom and a lot of kitchen amenities (microwave, fridge, a burner, glasses, etc.) and a wood-burning stove - which was much appreciated in this cold November weekend! There's also an AC unit for the summer months. Overall it's a cool place to hang out - but you have not to mind sleeping in the bathroom or on a bench under the window....if it sounds weird, it's because it is! I also have to mention the dozen or so of dead flies by the upstairs window...I didn't mind them but I would understand if some people don't enjoy their company that much. If you decide to go pay a visit to Marcia, the silo is your best bet. The little house where my other friends stayed didn't sound too appetizing, and even rural charm has its limits: the three of them had to share the bed because the couches were covered with mouse excrement.... and it really looked worn out, like an old hunting hut which hasn't known the loving touch of a woman for years. Almost everything was forgotten though the next morning around breakfast which was plentiful, satisfying and filled with the purrs of Simba, the most adorable and social cat we had ever seen..... It is 10 minutes away from Starved Rock State Park and it really makes you forget the hustling and bustling of the city. And Miss Illinois slept there!!! If THAT is not an argument!!!
