Tara Point Inn & Cottages — Hotel in Grafton

8-20-24 First off let's get the bad out of the way... The bed was wayyyyy too soft for our liking! (Room: Redbud R2) The TVs are tiny for such a big space... The living room TV is maybe 20 inches and the bedroom TV is 32. LoL! I think they should put at least a 46 in the bedroom. The towels could use a little softener for sure.

Ok for the good.... The view we had in room (Redbud) R2 was spectacular! I never use that word but in this case it fits! So peaceful save the occasional loud boat on the river.

Nice to have the full size fridge and a little microwave for longer stays. There's a couple complimentary cans of coke in the fridge so bring the Rum! 😯😄 They supply Folgers coffee. Both decaf and full power.

The electric fireplace in the living room is a nice touch. 😉

The jetted tub in the bathroom fits 2 comfortably!

The sitting area on the porch is great for relaxing and reminiscing! You may see a few deer out front as we did. 😊 We saw a few rabbits and several types of birds.

Several amazing restaurants and bar and grills close by to choose from.

Can't wait to go back this coming winter to see the hundreds of Bald Eagles that call this area home for...

We stayed at Tara Point Inn & Cottages the first 2 nights of our trip south along the Great River Road. Start to finish, booking to checkout, was a wonderful experience. The Inn has a commanding presence high on a hill overlooking the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers and is located minutes from Pere Marquette State Park. Many eateries and shopping opportunities can be found in Grafton, just down the hill. We were pleased with our stay in the Riverside Room #2 in the inn. Though on the small side, it had plenty of room to be comfortable with spectacular views. We hardly spent any time in the room, anyway, because a porch with comfortable chairs, running the length of the building, was right outside our door. Other chairs with are dotted around the property, providing plenty of opportunities to relax and admire the views. The games/common room provided popcorn and soft drinks, as well as morning coffee. We received a gracious welcome from the innkeeper who also shared recommendations for local restaurants and things to do. Highly...
