Our stay was INCREDIBLE!…read more First, apologies on how long it took to get to this review. It's been go go go since we returned. However, our stay here was so amazing that it hasn't left our minds. So, the "bed" part of bed and breakfast? So comfortable! The rooms were amazing and had such a sense of history. The rooms were very spacious and beautifully decorated. Vintage wallpaper and bed dressings give you the full effect of traveling in time to a bygone era. The showers and bathtubs were great. The tubs were the claw foot standalone type tubs and not the typical Home Depo special you get in motels and hotels. There's just something about showering in one of those tubs that takes you back. However if you want to use them, there are indeed wonderful modern jacuzzis available in the rooms as well which are super relaxing after a day of walking around and sightseeing and shopping. Things were very comfortable inside despite it being very hot and so humid outside. And there were extra fans if you needed them and you wanted to stay cooler too. The furniture is actual wood and not the cheap particle board stuff used with in so many places today. The wood just feels "rich and elegant." From the outside, you get such a sense of history. The place is absolutely beautiful. Now... the "breakfast" part of bed and breakfast was so filling. You will eat like you've never eaten before and will want more but won't have the space to put it. I wish we could have stayed an extra day even just for the food. The owner asks about your preferences and needs and does such a great job with the food. She makes a killer sweet tea as well! The place was remarkably maintained and the owner was so welcoming. She felt like a family member we haven't seen in so long, like a grandmother to us and our kids. She was super flexible about the check in and check out times as well, enabling us to get a quick shower in before leaving so that after sight seeing we didn't need to sit in our sweaty clothes for the next leg of the trip. We so much wanted to stay longer! It was such a great experience there is no doubt that we will stay here every time we come to Metropolis. Oh and I should mention that when you stay here, you do get admission to the Superman museum included in the cost which is just icing on the cake. So really, why are you still reading? Book a stay. You will not be disappointed. Five stars, fifty stars, five hundred stars!

If I could rate this fabulous bread and breakfast a 10 star review I most definitely would. Lori…read morewas gracious and informative that made our stay in Metropoles one to remember.

My 7-year-old son & I stayed here on April 4 thru 7, 2015 for quick-but-comfortable access to the…read moresights of the spectacular Shawnee National Forest (if going, try the Garden of the Gods Backpacker Parking and Rim Rick to Pounds Hollow Trails). Bruce and Sue were extremely accommodating. In fact, Bruce let me usurp his garage spot to charge my electric car (they refused to take money for the electricity usage). Sue's breakfasts were also top notch. Lastly, the grounds and proximity to river views were exceptional. I rated this 5 stars not because it is perfect (the décor was dated and the toilets and showers were small) but because it fully met my expectations given the price (only $130/night for the large Captain's room and high-quality breakfast for 2) and the age of the building (the house is over 100 years-old). I'd happily pay 20% more if they opted to refresh the décor (e.g., wallpaper, improved baths). We will return either way

Beautiful location with a porch view of the Ohio River. Husband and I went to Southern Illinois for…read morea fall getaway. With limited lodging options in the beautiful Shawnee National Forest, this was a hidden gem. We truly enjoyed the company of the owner and other guests as we relaxed on the porch. Breakfast was a wonderful treat thanks to Sue's culinary skills. Our only complaint was the bed in our room (the Quilt Room) was very worn out. We were told it was about to be replaced--definitely needed! It sound like other rooms were more updated on beds. We loved the house and owners and would love to return.

We pull up next to a little place in town that look like someone's home decorated for Halloween. It is quite charming. The little stone fence around the place with an iron gate is so nice. With a large shade tree up front and a large porch one could see themselves hanging out there a while. We walk in to a beautiful stout staircase embellished with a wonderful witch's hat very appropriate for the upcoming holiday. The downstairs rooms are filled with charming dinette sets with plenty of room for a large crowd. The character of the home still shows in the home decor with stately windows trimmed in thick dark wood but covered in dainty lace curtains. In the back, or side door is the counter and kitchen with bathrooms. Carefully wrapped generous sized goodies of Krispie and brownie treats adorned around the register with the refrigerator case packed with containers full of cake of all pleasures. Lunch is served Monday thru Friday from 11am-2pm and Desserts from 2pm-4pm. Leaving catering for the weekends. Hoping this little place does so well they must be open more hours to fit us all in! Menu combo for the day was soup and sandwich with choices of taco soup or potato soup. We had heard such rave reviews about the taco we all got a bowl. Sandwich choices were chicken salad, club, BLT, pimento or grilled chicken. I went for the club. Peering into the cold case like a child I could not decide my sweet piece of cake to indulge on. I narrowed down and got coconut creme and man it did not disappoint!! Pepsi soda fountain drinks are offered with tea options: Southern Sweet or Northern Unsweet. So Cute We found a table for our group and settled in. The taco soup really hit the spot. It gave a "chili" warming feel with new notes of flavor to not bore. My club was fresh, loaded with meat with a slight leave behind flavor of tangy Miracle Whip that is always pleasing. Everyone else really enjoyed their options as well. I could not wait to dig into the coconut creme having to have a bite less than half way through my meal. The sweet, moist, cake with the delightful creme were divine! It was like dancing on my taste buds. I have not had a coconut cake like that since the Easter's of my childhood when Grandma made her yearly coconut cakes that we all fought over. One of my companions detesting coconut intrigued with my reaction agreed to try and declared she loved it! We were very satisfied after our meal, our great company of each other in such a pleasant place. Will return every time I am here for lunchtime ... or dessert!
