Wonderful!

Excellent place for family gathering
My family get together on Labor Day weekend was accommodated wonderfully by staying at the Walker Family Inn. Kitchen dining area space was excellent for the family to gather for breakfast every morning. Love the labeling of drawers for utensils too. Patio and basement were excellent for spillover, games and gathering to chat. Lots of space and nice touches in the bedroom areas as well.
Ample space with amenities for family quality time!
This lovely 4 bedroom is well kept and offers a rack of information of places to see and eat. Nestled in a nice community it is a relaxing home with amenities such a ping pong and pool table for quality family bonding time. Owners are very pleasant.
Perfect!
This house is fabulous! It has vintage charm but is updated just enough so that it feels like home! It is impeccable clean, has plenty of room for a large group, is well stocked and the basement is amazing! With a pool table, ping pong and foosball, these is a lot for the kids to do! The downtown, adorable with cute shops and a grocery store, is minutes away. The owners are great, communicate quickly and were here to show us everything we needed to know about the house. We will stay here again when we come back to the area!
A wonderful location, in the heart of Amish country.
The house was clean and comfortable. It was quite quaint and very much a home with a lot of personal effects. The games room was excellent with ping pong, pool, darts and table football (foosball) which the kids loved, along with the wifi! The real star of the house is its location, a short walk to the town centre, Amish shops and restaurants. We loved Yoder's, a large Amish restaurant which was a great place to meet people. The whole town was very friendly. Tanya was extremely helpful and very responsive to any queries and met us when we arrived.
Overall we had a lovely stay for 2 nights and really enjoyed the house and location.
Christmas In Arthur
We rented this property for my family get together in Arthur, IL. There were 8 of us staying there. Tanya was right on time at 4pm to get us checked in. This place was amazing. We were all very comfortable there. The house was very clean and definitely kid friendly. I cannot say enough positives about our stay there. We will definitely stay there again and would recommend it to anyone who wishes to stay in Arthur, Illinois.
What a NICE place!!!!!
This was an excellent place to stay, and I would recommend it to anyone. The owners go out of their way to make sure that your stay is a great experience.
Location
In the heart of Illinois' largest and oldest Amish community, Arthur is just 10 minutes west of Interstate 57 and Arcola on Illinois Rte 133. Conveniently located, we are 20 minutes from Lake Shelbyville, 50 minutes from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign and just a few hours away from Chicago, Indianapolis and St. Louis. From Interstate 57, take exit 203 and head west towards Arthur on Rte 133.. It is about a 10 minute drive. In Arthur, turn onto Pine Street (it is directly in front of the high school). Go one block to Logan Street and turn right. Our house is the yellow cape cod on the corner of Spruce and Logan. If you are using a GPS to guide your way, the house address is: 39.711843,-88.468750
Explore the surrounding countryside and the many Amish shops that surround our village. The horse-drawn Amish buggies and teams of horses plowing the fields are a common sight. Step back in time to a slower pace of life and relax or enjoy one of our many festivals. Arthur's Freedom Celebration, Moultrie-Douglas County Fair, The Great Pumpkin Patch, Arthur Cheese Festival, Chet Kingery Bluegrass Festival and Mennonite Relief Sale are just of few events held throughout the year.
