The Inn At Lake Elizabeth LLC - Richmond, Illinois

My husband and I and my brother and sister-in-law stayed here for the second year in a row last week. We have used it as an overflow place for our annual family reunion. The Inn is so charming and super clean. It has all of the comforts of home. Beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped. Tina and Dean are wonderful hosts. They work hard to make your stay the best possible. Breakfast of your choice is home cooked and delicious. We will definitely be back next year.

I can’t believe that this was our 5th year at the inn. I read my previous review from 2019 and I have to say I feel exactly the same about the place. It is great. It is clean, comfortable and quaint. It has everything you need for a week or a weekend away from home. It suits our needs perfectly as the overflow for our family lake vacation.||Tina and Dean are the best hosts. They are friendly and kind and caring. We look forward to our stay each year and enjoy catching up with Tina and Dean who we now consider as friends. Did I mention that the breakfasts are delicious? ||We are already looking forward to next year.

My husband and I along with our son and his wife were visiting the area for our granddaughters high school graduation, We stayed for just the weekend but felt like it would have been nice to stay a couple more days, Tina and Dean are wonderful hosts. The homemade food was delicious and Tina went out of her way to make sure our daughter in laws special diet needs were met. Dean had some wonderful stories to share and Tina had a wealth of information on fun things to see and do in the area. Everything was very clean and comfortable. They went out of their way to make sure we were all very well taken care of. A home away from home. Definitely will return when in the area.

My aunt and uncle from Colorado stayed 2 days and remarked that Dean and Tina, who own the B&B, hosted them excellently.

The breakfasts were very good. A special shout out for the homemade canned jam. Delicious and yummy.

Great value. Clean and spacious accommodations near but not too near shopping.

When my husband and I arrived at the bed and breakfast, we were greeted by Tina, the owner. She was very kind and offered a lot of information about what to do in the area for the particular season. The bedroom was very nice and the bed was super comfortable! I slept like a rock both nights we stayed.||The breakfast was absolutely amazing. Tina and her husband Dean, asked what types of foods we like or preferred. I have allergies to multiple foods, and they were so accommodating with my requirements. The food was all home made with fresh ingredients. If you are looking for a quiet place to stay with an awesome breakfast, this is it!!!

I needed a place to stay while riding the Grand Illinois Trail It was late Oct. & the weather was supposed to be amazing so I really wanted to camp (& be able to shower). The Channel Lake State Park was far off the trail (in bike distance). I emailed Tina & she said they would let me camp in the backyard of the Inn (3 miles off the trail), allow me to shower, use their bathroom, had a fire pit AND Dean would cook me breakfast in the morning for a minimal cost. When I arrived, Tina met me on the driveway. I forgot to stop & get cash but she simply emailed me a paypal invoice I was able to pay (I'd have to ride back up quite a few hefty hills to get to a cash station). She put my bike in her garage, we walked into the backyard, Dean ALREADY HAD A CAMPFIRE waiting for me and left me tons of wood. I very much enjoyed staying there. It was safe, quiet, even rained, and I had access to the bathroom throughout my time there. I sat by the campfire, read & relaxed just as I wanted to. I didn't stay inside but they have 2 nice bedrooms and a large kitchen area with some sweets available to me- very clean. In the morning, Dean made pancakes & bacon to fuel me up before I rode back to the trail.

My husband, my best friend, and I stayed at the Inn at Lake Elizabeth the night prior to our Muderella run. We loved how quaint and charming the Inn is and how close it was to our event. ||||We were greeted by Tina and her husband, who were extremely attentive and friendly. They helped us find an amazing restaurant for our "carb up" night, and were genuine and caring. The morning of our run, a breakfast for a king was served and we were so grateful for the feast! ||||When some unforeseen circumstances led us to return to the Inn completely covered in mud and grime, we were met with nothing but help and understanding. Tina provided robes and towels, buckets and soap, and so much more. There were no worries about the mess and we were again taken care of. ||||We will absolutely return to the Inn and would recommend it anyone who seeks a peaceful and hassle free environment!

Overall our stay at the Inn was good. Tina & Dean were friendly and had lots of good recommendations! They sat up our stay airbnb style instead of bed & breakfast as this is what worked best for us since this was a work trip. We had everything we needed as far as the normal stuff and the inn was very clean. We also had items to cook, grill, and make a fire pit. We were here for 2 weeks and over time there were a few things that we thought people should be aware of when staying here.. These aren't necessarily cons. Just things we think people would like to know.
-People next door as this is typically a b&b. It is duplex style living. This means not much privacy at times.
-Small pantry entrance- we had to turn sideways to get in and out but we made it work and it was nice to have a spot to put items as we cooked a lot.
-AC units are not put in until it's 80°. They did set up a house fan while we were there and also put ended up putting in units towards the end of our stay once we asked. We stayed cool for the most part.
-No tv's in rooms. We had 4 people and 1 tv. We managed as part of our group worked late so by time they got in it was showers, dinner, then bed.
-Usually we don't unpack but since we were there for 2 weeks we decided to. Some of the dresser drawers were filled with a lot of extra linens and blankets. There are closets available for use and these were cleaned out.

We would stay again if we were in the area.
