The
Colony Hospital Bed and Breakfast welcomes you to a warm
and inviting retreat of peace and tranquility. Nestled
in a tiny country village, once the site of a Swedish communal
society, The Colony Hospital Bed and Breakfast is the perfect
setting for romantic getaways or a weekend mini vacation.
Built in 1855 as their hospital by the pioneering Swedish
colonists, it has been lovingly restored, but with the comfort
and conveniences of modern times added.
Charming
in its simplicity, The Colony Hospital Bed and Breakfast
has five cozy guest rooms (three suites), each with its
own private bath and decorated with furnishings reminiscent
of the colony era. Choose your favorite bath: walk-in shower,
old-fashioned clawfoot tub or double whirlpool Jacuzzi tub.
Four of our guest rooms are located on the first floor with
one additional suite on the second floor.
Open
year round for a midweek or weekend getaway, The Colony
Hospital is a quiet, cozy country inn located within easy
driving distance of the Chicago area (3 hours), Peoria,
Bloomington, Galesburg, Springfield, Macomb, the Quad Cities
and eastern Iowa. The Colony Hospital Bed and Breakfast
is the only B&B lodging in Bishop Hill and the only
country inn in the area.
We
are only minutes away from small towns Galva and Cambridge,
Good’s Furniture . . . Knox College in Galesburg,
the Jenny Lind Chapel in Andover and many other attractions
and varied activities, making it ideal for your next Illinois
vacation.
Take
the time to rock in our comfy rockers on our famous back
porch or watch our beautiful country sunsets (especially
from the Anders Bergland second story screened porch –
the best view in all of the village) or stargaze into the
pitch-black night.
Relax,
read, visit, play games or just unwind in our inviting library
or snuggle up in front of the fire in the wood-burning stove.
Do be sure to ask about our special "Dry
Hydromassage" therapy.
We
invite you to come and savor the serenity of our inn - and
Bishop Hill for yourself. |
