We had a fantastic Valentine's Day Dinner with Monika and Jeff. My husband Glen is not a risk-taker when it comes to his food. He likes what he likes and often repeats the same things over and over. BUT, when we eat at CSI, he will eat and love any and every dish that is placed in front of him!... More

We stayed here September 2011. We made our reservations at the last minute and we were lucky enough to stay the weekend that Monica does an all chocolate menu. The only room available was the Rosewood suite which meant we could dine in our room, otherwise the dinner was sold out. The room was lovely, large comfortable bed and nice... More

Our first stay at the Chestnut Street Inn was back in April 2008. We had such a marvelous time that we swore that we would return again sometime in the future. We decided to go ahead and make plans to return in November of this year. We spent 3 nights during our stay in November. We spent 1 night in... More

The Chestnut Street Inn is a gem of a B&B located on a quiet, tree-lined street in a small rural community. From the moment we stepped through the door and were greeted by the aroma of freshly baked bread we felt at home and at ease. There are many attractions, both scenic and historical, within a half hour's drive. There... More

This visit was no exception, and it was all the more enjoyable because we were joined by a dear friend. With four beautiful rooms in this historical property, this B&B is a great place to plan reunions and rendezvous with friends. My... More

WOW! - We were looking for a place to celbrate our 25th wedding anniversary. I was thinking glitzy hotel in downtown Chicago with dinner in one of the trendy hot spots. My wife had a better idea, with a slower pace outing a couple of hours from Chicago. What a difference! This is a mansion from the mid-1800s which has... More

I needed a couple of days of "me time" and I couldn't have found anything better. The Chestnut Street Inn is a complete delight! The inn in general, my room in particular, the food, the innkeepers, everything exceeded my wildest expectations. Jeff and Monika, the innkeepers, have not missed a single detail-----the amenities and creature comforts are what one would... More

We were looking for a place to shake off the winter blues, and meet up with close friends coming from all points in Illinois. We found just the right place in Sheffield’s Chestnut Street Inn. All of us are business owners, so we were very tired from our respective commitments. The minute we entered the door, our burdens started to... More
