Meet . . . Ralph & Kay Muhs, Innkeepers since 1997, and . . .

Experience. . . Country Dreams a cozy, country hideaway just ten minutes from downtown Springfield , Illinois and the Lincoln sites. Built in 1997 by Ralph and Kay Muhs, Country Dreams is exactly what it was designed to be, a serene country getaway for honeymoon couples, anniversary couples, or the weary business traveler looking for a serence and pristine country setting.

At Country Dreams Bed and Breakfast, you will never be confronted by annoying city noises, rows of look-alike apartment buildings, pushy crowds, smelly pollution , or stark concrete parking lots. No, at Country Dreams, you will experience the silence of the night, interrupted only by the croak of the bullfrog or the far off yelp of the midnight coyote. You will peer from your open and unlocked window at the peaceful swans and ducks on the serene little lake outside your window. Look at the simple beauty of rural Illinois farmland. See acres of green grass and flowers by the thousands. Watch the brilliant evening sunsets as the orange sun drops behind the state capitol dome. Spend hours on the large deck and gaze at the sparkling bright stars of the night sky, free of the light interference of the city.

Retire to your suite, dim the lights, flip a switch and turn on the fireplace, take a long soaking bubblebath in the whirlpool. Let your country dreams take you wherever you wish to go.

Awaken to the smell of gourmet coffee or tea and the delicious aroma of Kay's special breakfast. Spend some time enjoying the sincere country hospitality of Ralph and Kay.
