This bed and breakfast not only is located near the interesting history of Starved Rock, but Marcia herself is a true treasure of kindness, and amazing interesting stories of her personal experiences with the Native American tribal history in the region. She treated us like family, made delicious food, helped us find anything and everything we were interested in seeing. Truly, she made a place that seemed to be in the middle of nowhere and not have too much to offer seem quite the contrary, full of intriguing sites to explore! I have come back to Marcia's Bed and Breakfast numerous times, I enjoyed it so much. If you haven't seen the "roundhouse" you must, perfect for a family with kids or anyone with an interest in repurposing spaces or a creative eye for design, this house is surprisingly exquisite inside as you enter what appears to be a silo from the outside! I have stayed in both of her accommodations and felt at home, peaceful and delighted with both!

A must visit location if not for meeting Marcia, a charming, genuine, huge hearted and accommodating woman!

My husband took me up to Ottawa for some hiking for my birthday. He found this little bed and breakfast and the reviews were good so we gave it a try. It was DIRTY to say the least. We stayed in this cute little renovated silo. It is a great idea in theory, but it must be too much for her to keep up with. There were cobwebs everywhere, I had to clean the toilet before I used it, and there was literally a dirty sock and candy wrapper on the floor by the bed. I don't know when it had been cleaned last, but clearly not before we stayed and after the last people. It cost $110 to stay there, and I feel like we absolutely could have stayed at a budget motel and gotten a cleaner room. Additionally, the morning we left the plumbing started to stink...we could not wait to get out of there. It is such a cute idea in theory, but in practice I think she needs to hire someone or close down.

I made reservations to stay for nearly a week, sending a$50.00 deposit that was cashed I then canceled almost 2 months prior to my stay and never reserved my refund. BE WARE!!!

I stayed at Marcias bnb and it was a very great stay.. The thing that I remember the most was what a lovely woman Marcia is.. Her breakfast is good and her conversation is genuine and full of love for life.. You will feel welcome at her place and if you can relax, you are sure to enjoy your stay.. She has a couple of beautiful horses and you can feel as if you stepped back in time at her inn..
I recommed everyone try it.. The rooms are also very nice..
Great getaway..
