自我介绍

We prefer to talk to guests to confirm a booking, so don't hesitate to call Kim at 309-696-0833. Your Innkeepers, Kimberly Thrush and Brian “Fox” Ellis love to travel and enjoy opening their home to guests, hosting house concerts and family gatherings. Kimberly: I am a family therapist by training and experience, a mother of twin daughters, named after flowers, and cooking has always been one of my creative outlets. I have always enjoyed entertaining guests and getting to know other people from all walks of life. I have helped to organize and host events for my father’s restaurant. Whenever I travel I prefer the cozy home-like atmosphere of a bed and breakfast. Fox: Because I travel full time as a storyteller, I have seen what makes a successful B & B tick. I have also made friends with several proprietors who are generously offering their expertise as our mentors. I have always been a fan of the balance between friendly warmth and privacy, cozy and luxurious, offered by a bed and breakfast. As an author, I look forward to hosting writer’s retreats. As a historian I love the rich stories that Bishop Hill has done a great job of preserving. As a performing artist, I am thrilled to be living in a community that celebrates the arts. You actually feel the layers of history and the rich creative traditions of the town as you stroll around. Inspiration and enchantment really do wait behind every door.
