The Inn was wonderful. The innkeepers were warm and charming. Even considering the age of the building (1890ish) it was solid and up to date.just a great two days.

This hidden gem takes you to a different world of Colonial, Moroccan, eclectic era where food is delicious, books to read, board games to play and a glass of wine to forget the world outside. Rooms & common areas are super clean and decorated in a maximalist way that gives you a cozy vibe. Breakfast was delicious and served hot as per your time. I loved going to butler's kitchen to get some popcorn or a can of soft drink. Plenty of Coffee and tea options are there to pick from. If the sky is clear, you are lucky see stars from their patio. I have never seen these many stars. Also, the neighborhood is very safe and I can be out in the dark till late night if I wish to. Jeff and chef Monika are super host, very friendly and super quick with text messages. They were attentive and welcoming. Can't wait to go back for a quality time again!

Jeff and Monika were amazing! I have a restricted diet (AIP-Autoimmune Paleo) and Monika went above and beyond to prepare foods I can eat. This meant the world to me! Everything was so delicious you can really tell she cares about her cooking. Jeff was super helpful with ideas on where to go and what to do around the area. We want to recommend this to everyone!!!!!!!

Love the Chestnut Street Inn
Loved the Chestnut Street Inn. The room was clean and comfortable with a private bath. Monika and Jeff were amazing. Monika is such a talented chef. Dinner is a must and totally worth the cost. Jeff is the definition of welcoming and hospitable. We will be back even if it’s just for dinner.

Good for biking/golfing in the area and great food
I wish that we could have stayed longer because there were many outdoor activities that we did not have a chance to check-out: there are many bike trails in the area and golfing, too. We spent quite a bit of time in Princeton seeing plays at Festival 56, but we also visited the Owen Lovejoy home--a restored home of an Illinois congressman back in Lincoln's day who helped runaway slaves by hiding them in his attic. We also saw an old one-room school house that was moved next to the Lovejoy home. We also visited Hornbaker botanical gardens and nursery. We also drove to Kewanee to check out the biggest furniture store that I have ever seen--it covered several square blocks. Princeton is about 15 minutes away from Sheffield which is wear the Chestnut Street Inn is. You can park right on the street. All the rooms have refrigerators, TV, and a choice of 1200 movies to watch. Jeff and Monika thought of everything to make the rooms comfortable. And the best part was the breakfast--truly gourmet. We'll be back again next year when we come to see the plays at Festival 56, but we will have our bikes with us.

Wonderful B & B if you're a foodie!
My husband and I were attending a play in nearby Princeton, Illinois, with Festival 56, a summer festival of s6 different plays, plus cabarets, and Shakespeare-in-the-park. In my search for a place to stay, this B and B came up. It is a beautiful old house that has been fixed up for a B & B with 4-5 rooms. The special part is that Monika is a fantastic chef, so the breakfasts are wonderful and different than the usual fare. On our first day, we had lemon-blueberry pancakes, fresh fruit, bacon and was out of this world delicious. The coffee is made early in the morning so you can just come down and help yourself. You tell Monika and Jeff when you want to eat breakfast and voila it is ready on the dot. Also on the weekends, Monika prepares 5 course dinners--we also participated in this foodie experience and had delicious pork tenderloin with red pepper sauce, mashed sweet potatoes, salad, appetizer with scallops, creme brulee for dessert, etc. You can see what they are cooking in advance at their website. The rooms are set up so nicely--everything you could possibly want, plus chocolates in the room, peanut butter cookies in the cookie jar downstairs. Can't say enough!

The reviews are great for this B&B, but the reality is even better. The rooms are well-decorated and comfortable, with extra touches like quality chocolates and comfortable robes. The gourmet breakfast was fantastic and hosts Jeff and Monika make everyone feel like one of the family.

Lovely place
The hosts have traveled extensively and led interesting lives- their personalities shine throughout the house. The cooking is Moroccan and French influenced, and is very tasty and interesting. Unusual things include needlepoint from various eras and a collection of world travel artwork. If you like well presented garden centers and especially prairie restoration, check out Hornbaker Gardens in nearby Princeton. Check their hours before you go.

Beautiful B&B in a small town
Very nice and energetic young couple who provided us with great accomodations in their lovely home. The breakfast was excellent and Monika, who has written gluten free recipe books, fixed gluten free food for me. This was quite unusual to find in a small town as in many restaurants we have a hard time finding servers familiar with celiac disease
