Welcome to The Irish Inn, where you will receive a healthy dose of Celtic hospitality! Relax in this romantic getaway, complete with antique furnishings, wood floors, and cozy fireplaces in every room, nestled deep in Shawnee National Forest. Enjoy our festivals, a day on the wine trail of Southernmost Illinois, cycle the 45-mile Tunnel Hill State Trail, or ride horses on the best wilderness trails in the Midwest. Hike in breathtaking canyons, walk under waterfalls, canoe or kayak in Cypress swamps, climb bluffs and canyons, cruise the Ohio River, and visit Native American sites. After enjoying amazing moonrises and starscapes, tuck yourself into a luxurious king-sized bed with seven layers of bliss, and pop in one of over 500 DVDs. Wake up to the delicious aromas of our full Irish breakfast featured in the “Illinois Bed & Breakfast Cookbook.” Blarney, storytelling, and good Irish luck are included at no additional charge! The Irish Inn is widely known its food, and appears on the cover of the Illinois Bed & Breakfast Cookbook! We dare you to finish our full Irish breakfasts served when you want them each morning. Some people call our special Irish sausages "bangers," and they meet a country ham steak, black and white pudding, Irish and/or American bacon, two, three, or more eggs, sauteed mushrooms, and fried tomatoes on your breakfast plate. Add special breads, jams, juices, coffee, and morning Irish tea (breakfast tea with cream and sugar), and you have a hearty start to the day! You can elope to The Irish Inn, get married, or plan your dream wedding for up to 25 guests here. A Christian (Protestant) minister, Native American, Humanist, or judicial official will be arranged to perform your ceremony in one of the magnificent nature areas nearby or in the inn. We welcome those having small family reunions, anniversaries, honeymoons, and all couples seeking relaxing romantic weekends. Children, families, and pets are welcome here, and babysitting or petsitting can be arranged in advance (extra fees apply). We have a kennel available for your dog, and there are lovely walks for you to take with your pet. Our pond is well-stocked, and the fish are always biting! The Irish Inn is a wireless hot spot fueled by the lightning fast fiber optic connectivity, and we can arrange a whole office and staff for long-term visitors. Between the natural beauty here, romance in the air, and the well-practiced lively art of conversation, most guests like a break from the electronic world. Arrange for a deluxe holiday with specially catered meals, picnic luncheons, or ask about dining options in the area. Let us know your preferences, and we will have everything arranged to suit your needs and tastes.
