Scenic views
This idyllic getaway is located in a 1911 bed and breakfast farmhouse just outside of the charming town of Mount Carroll, Illinois.

Guests staying in this picturesque bed and breakfast will find plenty to do in the Carroll County Area, with the Mississippi River, Illinois Wine Country, and charming townships all located under half an hour from the retreat. At the accommodation, guests can wake up to a delicious home-cooked meal in the mornings, then take a nice stroll through the gardens on the property before heading out for the day.

At the Upper Mississippi River Wildlife Refuge, guests can go hiking, kayaking, fishing, or bird watching, with various trails, nature centers, and ponds to explore within the refuge, like Frog Pond, the Ingersoll Wetlands Learning Center, and the Great River Trail. Glampers can also see bald eagles while on the Mississippi River, with plenty of protected nests perched in the trees lining the banks along the enormous body of water.

In the afternoon, guests can also wander through the area’s historic centers, with restaurants, cafes, shops, and museums to see about 15 minutes away from the bed and breakfast in either Mount Carroll or Thomson. Glampers can then learn about the history of the area in the Windmill Cultural Center in town, then book a tasting at the Wide River Winery to top off the day.

There is a fire pit back at the accommodation for glampers who want to roast marshmallows and stargaze at night, meaning glampers of all tastes will find something to appeal to them on their next vacation on the Mississippi River.
