I agree w/the author of "Strange Times" - the reviews posted here are dated! Maria is no longer there and Bobbie Joe is an ever-present host who never once wore shoes EVER! This is the last place you want to stay for a romantic getaway - it is even hard to get to talk with other guests because Bobbie Joe's... more

The reviews for this B&B are a bit outdated. The pictures are completely accurate though. My Husband and I needed a quick weekend getaway and have enjoyed B&B's in the past. We were excited to find this one near Starved Rock. We arrived and were impressed with the look of the whole place. Unfortunatly nothing else was not what we... more

We had never been to a bed and breakfast and did not know what to expect. After meeting the hosts and getting settled in the room we felt right at home. We all had a lot of fun. The entertainment was great and stayed up late chatting with them. The rooms were clean and everyone was very friendly. Went on... more

They are fantastic hosts. A great B&B... I even brought my digital piano and played in the living room as much as I wanted... Breakfast was delicious as well. more

I was looking for a secret hideaway and an escape, I found it at Fox River B&B. You find everything from romance to escapism and a whole lot of fun. The hosts Bobby Joe and Maria make you feel welcome immediately upon arrival, its like visiting old friends. Maria & Bobby Joe have found the true secret to having a... more

What a joy. Maria and Bobby Jo are the odd couple of hosts, but the atmosphere they provided was just the ticket. Clean rooms, beautiful claw-foot tub, and an amazing breakfast made this visit very enjoyable. Plenty to do in the area, with Starved rock, wine tasting in Utica, and a canoe trip right down the block. Interesting history, too.... more

I just got back from my first time staying out at The Fox River BNB. It was everything I expected and more. My hosts, Bobby Joe and Maria were more than gracious and occupied much of my time with enjoyable conversation. I am a musician, so Bobby Joe invited myself and another musician friend out to the BNB for the... more

I was invited as a musician to play a weekend at the Fox River Bed and Breakfast. Having never been to a BnB before (and certainly never having played one), I was blown away by the kindnesses offered me by Bobby Joe and Maria. They were friendly and attentive, and above all welcoming. They put us up in a great... more

My wife and I had a few days off of work, and so I decided to surprise her with a little weekend trip. This bed and breakfast is really in a nice location if you want to get away from it all and just relax. There are two great state parks just 15 miles away that we hiked around and... more
