Davie School Inn

Was the best experience! Breakfast is amazing to start your day Central location to all things in Shawnee the inn keeper was so helpful and gave us direction and tips We loved being in an old school they have left just enough originality and added plenty of comforts to make this one of the most unique stays we’ve ever experienced

This is one of the coolest Inn's I have ever stayed in. The bed is super comfortable and the rooms are top notch!! Breakfast served to your room daily hot and fresh. Lyle and Tammy are always available and VERY accomodating. We will definitely come back here again.

Instead of the beach and the crowd, we chose southern Illinois. Of course, we found a small diner in Metropolis and then headed to our first trip to Anna, Illinois. The Davie School Inn was absolutely perfect. Our upstairs room was an old classroom. It even had the original chalk board and a cloak room. Lyle and Tammy were great. You HAVE to go there. Don’t forget to ask for the “Lyle” tour. Breakfast was served in our room. Not having to rush getting dressed was a nice plus. So we’re the parks and wineries near by. We’re already looking forward to our next visit.

We stayed at the Davies School Inn last night. The Inn's hallway is decorated with different desks, school books and even the original drinking fountains! We went back in time in the "white" "math" themed classroom. The room had all of the charm and nostalgia of the classroom like student desk, black board, school clock, built in bookcase and the coat room is now the bathroom...so cool! The spacious room also had all the comforts of a bed & breakfast including king bed, couch, loveseat, dining table, TV, and kitchenette with frig, sink, microwave, & kurig machine. As a retired teacher of 35 years, I enjoyed the personal tour the owner Lyle gave us. Lyle also delivered us a wonderful breakfast in the morning. He was even able to accommodate my food allergy with an alternate menu. I highly recommend this unique Inn. On our next trip, we will book one of the other themed classrooms.

Our stay was clean and comfortable in an adorable, quaint room. The inn has so much character being an old elementary school. We had all we needed and more. The owners served us wonderful homemade gluten free breakfast each morning that was full and delicious. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend

Looking for a unique experience? The David School Inn is just the place! We chose the Inn due to its location but mostly because seriously—how often can you stay in a school house built in 1908? Everything was amazing, from booking to checkout. Lyle reserved a larger room in the newer part of the inn, yet when our adult son decided to drive over and stay with us, Lyle and Tammy quickly booked us into the ‘Red’ Reading-Themed classroom. The room had ample space for us and the beds were very comfortable. It was so cool to stay in a classroom, especially being a retired educator who taught reading intervention for years!! Lyle and Tammy brought a delicious full breakfast (Coffee and teas in room, along with a mini-fridge and dishware/glassware) right to the room. They also had excellent tips on sites within a 100 mile radius. The tour of the inn/history of the school was an added bonus. We will definitely be back when traveling in the area!

Great stay at the Davie School Inn. We rent the entire Inn for a retreat. Lyle and Tammy see that all our needs are taken care of and are very accommodating. The breakfasts are so delicious! The rooms are great! Can't wait to go back again next year!

This is a work of love - an old school refashioned as a B&B while preserving much of the original school features - chalkboards in the classrooms down to designations of reading areas on the wood floors. I was given an unsolicited tour of the entire school. I stayed in the arts and crafts themed classroom. Very clean, comfortable, excellent breakfast served in my room.

The Davies School B and B in Anna Illinois was a wonderful getaway. We were within minutes of state parks ( we went to Fern Cliff) , wine trails, and other activities . Our host gave us a tour of the renovated school house. As a retired teacher I was very happy to see such good use being made of an older school building. We stayed in the old music/art room and enjoyed reliving childhood memories. We had provided popcorn, hot chocolate and a dvd at night. The full breakfast in the morning is served to your room and it was delicious! We definitely would like to return and tryout a larger suite with the four post bed, large jacuzzi , and fireplace!
