Corner George Inn

Maeystown, Illinois.

Located just 35 miles south of St. Louis, the inn was originally built as a hotel and saloon in 1884 by George Jacob and Sibilla Hoffmann. Today there are a total of 7 guest rooms, each with a private bath.

Bed and Breakfast Description

Today the Inn consists of four buildings - the original inn, the summer kitchen and two rock houses. There are a total of seven guest rooms, each with a private bath. In the original inn, there are sitting rooms on both floors, a wine cellar, and an 600-square-foot ballroom. The ballroom serves as a commons area for guests and as a dining area for breakfast. It also lends itself to larger group activities. The entire building is furnished with antiques and is fully air-conditioned. Out-buildings are still present on the grounds.

Today, the bed and breakfast, general store, sweet shop, restaurant, museum and visitors' center, numerous residences and the 1867 church have been restored. The one lane stone arched bridge leading into town stands as the centerpiece of the village.

Horse-drawn carriage rides in the country are available upon request. Please inquire about arrangements when making reservations.
