Kathryn's Corner - Green Room

Our 162 yr old Victorian has been a labor of love and hate, as we remodel each room. It's our joy to open our home & we hope to be a blessing to all who visit but bring your slippers as there's no shoes allowed in our home. The private bedroom is on the second floor. We look forward to seeing you soon! The space We are situated nicely between Illinois State & University of Illinois. Our town has a rich history and our 150 yr old home is no exception. Built by some of the founding members of Le Roy, it sits on a hillside and is surrounded by mature trees and landscaping. We have done extensive remodeling and still have finish work to complete but the original hardwoods and pocket doors have been salvaged. We request you take your shoes off when you arrive, we don't wear them in the house. Guest access Upstairs is where you will find the private bedroom. A shared bathroom is just across the hall and is plenty spacious to allow you room to get ready in the morning. The dinning room table is where guests are welcome to utilize the area for work, if needed. There is a spacious back yard, you are welcome to use. If a rocker is more your style, feel free to sit on the front porch with a cup of coffee (tea is my preference) and watch the sun rise. During your stay when you arrive you'll park in the horseshoe drive in front of the house, and enter through the front door. We will greet you and show you to the room. After that, we will be available if you have questions or a conversation but we will give you plenty of quiet to enjoy what's to hopefully be a peaceful stay. Other things to note Our dogs are not allowed upstairs, in the guest bedrooms, but they will be in the main parts of the house and will be out to interact with guests. Within a 15 minute drive, our guests are invited to spend time exploring the nearby state park! With a beach, lots of fishing spots, great parks for the kids, hiking trails, boating and kayaking (which may be rented), it is a fun place to spend some down time.
