Move yourself to the head of the class by staying at the The Davie School Inn, one of the largest bed and breakfasts in Illinois.

Each room still has an original chalk board and book case. The original hardwood floors still show where the student desks left their marks. Each room also has a whirlpool tub and air conditioning, not something you would find in a grade school class room. Downtown Anna is also a short walk from the Inn. Visit unique shops, antique stores, and dining. For those who wish to experience more of Southern Illinois, Tunnel Hill Bike Trail, hiking, boating and other historic attractions await. You will find them all within a 20 minute drive.
