We, against our better judgment, chose this hotel because it is close to my sisters wedding venue.and due to lack of options. While we understood that lodging options in the area were limited, nothing could have prepared us for the state of this property. Let's start with the room itself -- completely outdated and poorly maintained. The entire space smelled musty and damp, and we immediately noticed significant water damage above each window unit. The bathtub was clogged and unusable, and at one point, we saw a bug crawling across the room -- which sadly wasn't even surprising given the overall condition. And the floors? Absolutely filthy -- after just a short time walking barefoot, our children's feet were visibly black. That alone says everything about how little attention is paid to cleanliness. Breakfast was pitiful: juice, a few muffins, butter, milk, jelly, and bread. When we tried to raise these issues with the manager, we were met with defensiveness, not concern. She cut us off mid-sentence and dismissed our feedback entirely. Even more shocking, she actually told us that the room we were in -- the one with visible damage and functional issues -- was "their most requested room." If that's the best they have to offer, it raises serious questions about the condition of the rest of the property. We thought maybe the pool would be a small reprieve, but no luck there either. The water was cloudy and uninviting, clearly not cared for or properly treated. We get it -- this might be one of the only hotels in the area, but that does not justify the deplorable conditions, the poor hygiene, or the dismissive attitude from staff. If you're traveling with family -- especially with kids -- think twice before booking here. You're better off driving a little farther for a safe, clean place to stay. This was easily one of the worst hotel experiences we've had. Avoid it if at all possible.

I really got the best bang for my buck and is a true all inclusive experience that I will never forget. The owners here are also very friendly and their mission about starting this place years ago shows their dedication to the hospitality market. This place is clean and it feels like I'm staying at a four-star hotel. They do have a lot of terms and conditions when it comes to booking so be aware before booking please don't make any changes. The lobby itself is beautiful , the rooms itself are incredible. They have a beautiful balcony if you stay in the main part of the hotel. The outdoor area is also really good and has great views. you even have a bonfire. The guests here are really down to earth and friendly. This place hosts weddings and other Gatherings as well. Since there wasn't a lot of guests here, I really wish there was an opportunity to actually have the bar open during our visit. The Innkeeper also does a great job taking care of the hotel. Even though it's a bit far even though it's a bit far from a grocery store I recommend buying your stuff in advance. If you're making your way to the winery Trail or to the hiking trails you're in the absolute heart of it all and that's why this whole house and the prime location that it is! Highly recommend staying here . You will not regret your stay

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!

On their 125+ acre of property there are 2 rooms that rent (not attached to the house) for anywhere between $65-85 a night (I believe) and there is a log cabin suite for $130.00 per night which is what we choose. What an amazing place, so romantic, it is so beautiful! They have a private entrance to the log cabin that you walk through grape vines with beautiful flowers and hummingbirds all around. Our cabin had its own private Jacuzzi, fireplace, grill, king bed and wrap around deck. The also have a hot tub outside for all to use. She had the whole room stocked with everything you possibly needed during your stay important to remember the chocolates too! We were joined to the house by a breeze way but you never heard a sound except for the occasional bark from Daisy the new puppy! Rhea made us "Continental" breakfast every morning and it was out-of-this-world! The first day she made us strawberries and pancakes. The second day was an amazing egg souffle with peaches and blueberries and the final morning we had cherries and waffles. I was hoping she would slip me some of the recipes! Their property has many walking trails and one lead to a cave that Daniel Boone etched his name in the wall. Now, did I climb up to see, heck no! The other paths lead to 3 ponds stocked with fish and one had a row boat you guys could get out on and fish, made my husband's day! I highly recommend, if anyone is heading to Southern Illinois for outdoor fun or to hit the wine trail, consider this B&B, its the best I have ever stayed in and plan to go back!

Someone took a lot of time to make this place special. And of course, it allows for one to have a "home" while on the Shawnee Wine Trail (highly recommended). Negative: The drunk guy that owns (or runs) this play is a true jackass. We showed up and he was in the bed of his pick-up downing beers with his buddy and was more focused on getting his buzz on than taking care of his guests. There was a jacuzzi, but this guy stayed all night in it playing loud music and acting the fool. The music, his shouting, his obnoxious presence crept into our room. The next morning, the complimentary breakfast never showed up. Our request for additional towels fell on deaf ears. This guy was a mess. Simply, what should have been a relaxing experience soon turned into a splinter under the skin. This might have been a fluke case. The lady that answered the phone and arranged everything was wonderful. But before you make reservations (which wouldn't be a mistake) please make sure that the owner (or caretaker) is in rehab or off the premises. Without the "guy", this place could have easily been a 4 or a 5 rating.
