Fox River Bed and Breakfast is a historic B&B located 90 miles West of Chicago, and eight miles North of Ottawa, Illinois in the country on 17 lovely acres.  We are surrounded by more things to do than you could ever imagine, the area is rich in history, and the food is hot and delicious.

Guests from all over the world come to see these beautiful sandstone cliffs that stretch for miles along the Fox River.  Rent your canoe or bring your own, and then just float for hours or even days, taking in the sights and sounds of nature. ...Beautiful!

 

 

 

 
his historic Victorian farmhouse was once a stay-over for the famous Charles Lindbergh.  Finished in 1901, it is the second house on the property.  The DeBolt family originally made claim to 500 acres in 1832 and still own the surrounding farm land.  The B&B overlooks the beautiful Fox River Valley and the former St. Joseph's Health Resort and is nestled on 17 wooded acres.  Relax in one of five unique guest rooms, enjoy a warm fire in our large living room as you look through antique leaded glass windows, or spend time wandering the paths of the Stations of the Cross and then see the historical Sulfur Lick Springs and the Lourde's Grotto ~ Al Capone's and William Hale (Big Bill) Thompson's hangout~  by the beautiful Fox River.  All of these things can be found right here on the grounds of Fox River Bed and Breakfast!       Scrapbookers click here!
