Inn At Irish Hollow — Hotel in Elizabeth Township

Usually, we opt for a beach but we wanted to try something different this year. After an exhaustive search for a secluded winter getaway near Chicago, we stumbled upon the Inn at Irish Hollow. Booking was a breeze, visited the website and decided on accommodations that suited us. We wanted different dates than were available and a quick email to the Inn Keeper managed to satisfy our request. We loved the Olde Orchard Cottage and it did not disappoint. After the winding road and past the beautiful pasture of cows we found the Inn. We were greeted immediately by the Inn Keeper with a warm smile. She let us know the lay of the land, explained how the main cottage was open 24/7, explained meals and accommodations. She was so inviting. We headed to the cottage and was in awe of the beauty. It’s truly a whimsical experience. The cottage was fully stocked with firewood, impeccably clean, warm, inviting, and had every little thing we needed from robes, to an iPad to play music throughout the cottage, to bath salts to help us relax in the whirlpool tub. We loved the screened in back porch, it was so peaceful. After we sent a text to the Inn Keeper’s provided number we were kept informed of everything we needed to know. THE FOOD WAS ABUNDANT & DELICIOUS. Fresh baked goods, savory main dishes, cookies, wine, delicious breakfasts and lunches delivered to our door daily and almost like magic. The food and any item requested was delivered to our doorstep almost like magic we didn’t see anyone come or go. The best experience was the 5 star dinner that was offered in the convenience store. It was delicious and intimate. The service was impeccable and each course was so delicious. We woke up early one morning and took a hike on one of the carved out hiking trails. We saw rabbits, birds, enjoyed the fresh air and felt at ease. This was truly a memorable experience. Admittedly the food, superb service, secluded accommodations, and overall experience does come with a price that, in my opinion, is reasonable for the all that the Inn at Irish...

The absolute best B&B in the world. Nothing compares to Irish Hollow. It is the perfect place to get away and enjoy the peaceful countryside, while still very accessible to Galena and Chestnut Mountain. The accommodations are impeccably and thoughtfully designed. We have toured the rooms in the inn and have stayed in the Gardener and French Maid cottages. All rooms in the inn are worth coming for and top most B&B's, but if you're looking for the ultimate secluded getaway, the cottages are worth the splurge. We took full advantage of the screened-in porch in the French Maid cottage - perfect spot to read a good book with a hot drink or glass of wine. The grounds are expansive and absolutely beautiful. And the food is even better than the accommodations, if that is possible. They use the highest quality ingredients and can cater to dietary restrictions. I usually require large portions to feel full and I never once left the dining room hungry. One seven-course dinner is included and this is the highlight of every stay. You might want to skip lunch on the day of this feast. The most comfortable bed you'll ever sleep in, the best food you'll ever eat, and the best service you could ask for are all at...
