Come for the spacious, comfortable, clean, welcoming rooms. Stay for the best breakfasts, the wineries, Shawnee National Forest, several state parks, Giant City Lodge, hiking, biking, geocaching, antique shopping, and fine dining! Gary and Andrea are the perfect hosts. You'll love it!

Davie School is an amazing place in an adorable town. I stayed there overnight a year ago in the Gold Suite and my wonderful future husband proposed to me that night in that very room. In just a short while, we will be honeymooning again in that beautiful suite. Gary is an amazing cook with lots of knowledge about the... More

My husband and I just returned from a weekend stay, where we met my high school best friend and her husband. It was a remarkable place to stay. Gary, the innkeeper, was a fabulous host. He immediately made us feel at home, and suggested places for us to eat dinner (both places had wonderful food) and asked us what our... More

I want to go back today! You cannot beat the enormous rooms, the outstanding service (thanks Gary), the uniqueness (great attention to detail in the rooms) and delicious breakfast. Gary and his family did a wonderful job remodeling this old school house. I am looking forward to my return trip to see the gym redone (either as a brewery or... More

This was our third stay at the Davie School Inn and we've already booked next year's stay. You can't beat the rooms, breakfast and friendly service that we've enjoyed here each and every time. The innkeeper Gary is always ready with suggestions for great places to visit, eat at or, our personal favorite, trails to hike/areas to explore. The rooms... More

We chose the Blue Room when making the reservations and upon arrival were advised that this room had been the second grade classroom. Gary was so very welcoming and the room was charming... More

Stayed here for one night on our trip to Southern Illinois. A wonderful restoration of the school. Inn keepers were very friendly and helpful. We stayed in the Red Room. It was delightful. Loved the tempurpedic mattress. A great night's sleep. Large windows gave a great view of the City Park and lots of light in the morning. Very large... More
