Introduction

The Stone House Bed & Breakfast - Chester, Illinois

Originally the First Presbyterian Church built in 1846, The Stone House sits on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River. The church was converted into a private residence after lightning struck and destroyed the bell tower in 1921.

The house has magnificent exposed hand-hewn ceiling beams, deep window seats and is beautifully furnished with accents of interesting decor collected from extensive travel in foreign lands. The scenic view in a quiet and quaint setting is a sure method of relaxation.

Imagine relaxing on a large, beautiful porch watching picturesque tugboats maneuver the mighty Mississippi. Imagine the beauty of a sky comprised of deep blue hues above a landscape of the patchwork farm fields with variegated greens and golds and an occasional white dot of a farmhouse. Imagine listening to the comforting sound of birds singing and leaves rustling in huge oak trees. Imagine the feel of a cool breeze from the river. Imagine all this and more as a guest at The Stone House. River views

A choice of three guest bedrooms await you as well as a private sitting parlor with fireplace; two large porches (upper and lower level) with Mississippi River view; a third porch on the upper level facing east; and 2 1/2 baths.
