The perfect blend of old and new in this 1857 mansion, the Silas Willard home, just 1/2 mile from downtown. This room is 1 of 4 bedrooms with a full bath, most all amenities, and a view out front onto our historic district of homes and another of the neighborhood. It's whispered this home was involved with the Underground Railroad, Abraham Lincoln, and the startup of what is now Knox College. Enjoy a 24-hr breakfast and explore the entire main floor full of secrets, mysteries, and even a vault. The space The Craftsman's Suite has a queen sized bed, full bath, TV, mini-frig, desk/make-up table, and extra chairs for comfort. In addition, you have full access to a full kitchen, dining room, front and music room, side parlor, private office with printer and many intimate spaces to enjoy with family or a friend. This roomy suite has a queen size bed with new mattress, sheets, pillows, a full bath, TV, mini-frig, desk/make-up table, and extra chairs for comfort. In addition, you have access to a full kitchen, dining room, front and music room, side parlor, private office and many intimate spaces to enjoy with family and friends. At the end of your day, enjoy a glass of wine on either the front porch or back deck. Both are different experiences guaranteed to fill your emotional basket. Be sure to rub your hands over the herbal plants to fill your space with aromatic delight. When ready, retreat to your room, grab a snack and open the door to this grandiose yet quiet room. This experience will be memorable and change your way when traveling to Galesburg. Guest access The morning of arrival, the code to get into the house will be emailed to you through Airbnb. Once inside, It is important to know which room you booked. Your room will have two keys, one key for your room and the other key opens the back GUEST DOOR behind the music room. Please lock these doors when you are not using them. Also within this email will be information on the internet and other important information and house rules. The basement access is only available on request. It is a normal basement you would expect to see in a 1857 house. The laundry/storage room is for employees only unless special arrangements are made. Other things to note There is a long stairway that winds towards the top. Heavy luggage will be difficult to take up. If needed, you may request a box to separate your luggage making the trip up easier. We do not allow children due to the hazard of these stairs. In addition, the house is chuck full of antiques, china, and breakable stuff that will be expensive to replace. We are sorry but homes built in 1857 were not built to be handicapped accessible. Modifications would be very difficult. Fee includes use of the house by overnight guests only. Events are allowed but only with pre-arrangements. Please ask about the event fee. All the fireplaces are non-functional.
