We love our guestbook and this 4th grader had things to say! Thankfully, she changed her review from 4/5 to 5/5 ☺️. And yes, I can assure you all the lamps work, you just gotta use the remotes!

There are certain afternoons at Nook & Key 1893 when the light falls just right...soft through the lace, rich against the velvet, quiet enough to hear the house breathe.

Fresh linens folded. Pillows fluffed. Curtains drawn halfway against the winter sun.

And of course…our tiniest steward of comfort, ensuring everything is guest-ready.

This is the beauty of staying somewhere with history - not just a place to sleep, but a space to settle into. To read by the window. To sip something warm. To linger.

Moody. Romantic. Restful.

And yes, pet-friendly.

Whether you're planning a cozy weekday escape, a photo session, or a romantic weekend in Southern Illinois, Nook & Key welcomes you.
