Victorian Inn Bed & Breakfast
The Victorian Inn Bed & Breakfast is a sheltered harbor of gracious hospitality, luxury, and courtesy where the hours stand still with a golden glow. Light from the stained glass tower windows beckon the traveler to the Inn. It's like visiting your favorite aunt's house.
The 20 room home was built in 1876, then enlarged and modernized in 1905 by a Rock Island liquor baron who gave it as a wedding present to his daughter. Purchased by the Parker family in 1944, it is their family home. Original antiques from the family and previous owners of the home adorn the rooms
The Inn, located in the Broadway Historic Area here in the heart of Old Rock Island, is a local landmark and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Three other structures within sight are also on National Register.
Beveled plate glass French doors open from the spacious living room. The dining room with its Flemish Oak ceiling beams and paneling is crowned by turn of the century tapestries. Two of the six guest rooms at the Inn have working fireplaces and each has a private bath. In total, the inn has 7 fireplaces and 9 baths. There are 3,000 square feet on each floor of the 3 story Victorian Inn.
The wonderful aroma of a full breakfast served on fine china and linen with sterling silver and Crystal revives fond memories of another place and time. Your breakfast experience is upscale, yet very comfortable.
Enjoy our wooded gardens where cardinals and black squirrels abound. On a summer's evening sip a cool glass of pink lemonade at the patio table. Wake in the Fall to a full breakfast by a cheerful blaze in our dining room fireplace. Relax for an afternoon on our glassed-in Florida Porch watching lacy snowflakes gently blanket the lawn and woods.
The Inn is near downtown and the Arts and Entertainment District, and within walking distance of music festivals on the plaza, dinner theatre, riverboat casino and fine dining.
We're old fashioned here. We cherish Old Times, Old Manners, and Old Friends. It's Yesterday Once More...The Victorian Inn
