This was my third time staying at the Oscar Swan and I will never stay anywhere else in Geneva. I…read moreonly hesitate to write this review because I'm worried it will be booked solid after, and we won't get a room next time we visit! To say the Oscar Swan is a gem is an understatement. The owner, Nina, is beyond fabulous. She was so kind, attentive and made us feel at home. Upon arrival we had the place to ourselves and Nina told us to head upstairs and pick out our rooms! EVERY room is beautiful. The decor throughout is curated perfectly for the property. We stayed with another family, kids in tow. The kids had a blast running around the property and playing in the pool. The gardens are gorgeous. The front lawn is bigger than a football field - perfect for frisbee! We woke up in the morning to a table set outside and the BEST breakfast spread you could ask for. Pancakes, amazing eggs, toast, banana bread, potatoes, fruit, and perfectly cooked bacon. I can't emphasize enough how gorgeous the setting is, how at home we felt and just all around grateful and happy we were to be there. We had a quick peek at the event space - it's fabulous!!! If I lived in town again and one of my kids were old enough to get married, I wouldn't consider hosting anywhere else!! It's a true time warp in the best possible way. If you're looking for perfection this is not your place. If you're looking for a one of a kind, unforgettable experience - book now!!

We stayed in Sir James room and it was spacious, clean, and had a private bathroom. The back patio is a great touch - perfectly shaded in the summer with a great warm breeze.

The location is also great - it is right downtown Algonquin with great restaurants, walking/biking paths, ice cream & coffee shops, within in walking distance.

I regret forgetting the owner's name but he really was the most pleasant and hospitable person.

It spread across the ceiling and added warmth to their hospitality. I wouldn't hesitate to board here once more.

We drove up and the propriatress was chatting with neighbors. She greeted us and when we asked if it was OK to take photos of the outside. . . she have us a tour of the inside! Wow, that was unexpected! Super warm and friendly owner, the Inn has many of it's original features including wood floors, lighting fixtures, coal burning fireplaces, stained glass, and more. It also boasts a beautiful new kitchen and glorious gardens including milk weed for the Monarch Butterflies which have been rapidly decreasing in numbers in recent years. So yay! She has a small shop of movie themed items and a museum cabinate of movie props. We were told about the filming pricess at the inn and told about plans for the gardens. A lovely Bed and Breakfast, if you find yourself in Woodstock, IL, check on availability. Stay where Phil Conners 'stayed'.

We spent 3 peaceful, relaxing and fun nights at The Cherry Tree Inn in Woodstock, Illinois…read more First off Mr. Bee is a huge Groundhog Day movie fan, so we decided while in Illinois to stay in this gem of a town. Lori and George, the Innkeepers are very nice. The Inn is so fun. This is where Bill Murray's character in the movie stayed and the front looks exactly as it did in the movie. Lori gave us a map of the spots in town with marker's of sites from the movie, so we did that for a half day. The inn has a dining room where breakfast is served, there is the parlor with chairs for reading, or a sofa for watch Groundhog Day on the big screen. There is a small breakfast room with a refrigerator, coffee maker and snacks for the guests. There is one guest room downstairs and the others are located on the second floor. They even have a small gift shop area, where Mr. Bee bought a replica clock from the movie, it is permanently set to 6:00 am and the button on the top plays a portion of the radio show it played in the movie. We stayed in the Black Walnut Suite and it was extremely clean, and comfortable with 3 large windows that looked out over the front yard and the street just like in the film. Breakfast was good and plentiful. One morning we were the only guests so I told Lori the night before to take a day off and we would enjoy breakfast in the town square. I can't say enough great things about our stay. The front porch is awesome and fun to sit in the evenings with a glass of wine. The gardens and koi pond around the house are also stunning and beautifully lit in the evenings. There is parking off to the side of the driveway which is really convenient, or street parking. You can also easily walk into the town square from the Inn. We highly recommend checking out The Cherry Tree Inn for a fun weekend or even mid-week stay.

The map that comes with your room key definitely helps. You can walk from the guest rooms to the conference center area, but make sure you have on comfortable shoes. The staff for our event night were fabulous, especially the bar tenders. They are hard working and accommodating people. The event room looked beautifully lit and decorated. While the sleeping rooms are dated and have visible wear and tear in them, they were comfortable and quiet to stay in. I appreciated the nice shampoo, conditioner and body soap in the showers as well as the complimentary dental kit, since I forgot my toothpaste.
