Highly recommend this charming bed and breakfast! The service was very responsive, the food excellent, the decor interesting and approachable. And don’t forget the great deck behind the gymnasium. The first night of our stay coincided with a band practicing for an upcoming performance so we had a private concert!
The only downside was that the weather was extremely hot, so we weren’t able to fit in all the outdoor activities we’d been looking forward to.
Well done, Lyle and Tammy! Thank you for your hospitality and thoughtfulness 💚

A wonderful place to stay
I don't often leave reviews but this hotel is exceptional.
The owner showed me to the room and explained all the facilities. The room itself was huge, beautifully clean and with the wonderful quirk of still resembling a school classroom. Some previous guests had even left messages on the blackboards.
I made use of both the Jacuzzi and the separate shower, and enjoyed the cooked breakfast which was brought to my room in the morning. I didn't make use of the complimentary popcorn and DVD selection but that was also a nice touch.
A very enjoyable stay.

Nice Remote Getaway in Southern Illinois!!!
My 14-year-old daughter loved it!!! My 18-year-old son said he’d stay there again. A fun adventure!!! Outdoor deck/patio, tons of family/party games and DVDs available. Lyle, one of the owners, gave us a nice tour of the facility and treated us very well. Would also be an excellent venue for a family reunion or small business retreat weekend. Offers modern suites and older school room suites with decor taking one back to grade school. Gymnasium, including a performance stage, has several functionalities. Close to several southern Illinois State Parks and Bald Knob Cross.

Wine trail gem
This converted school is a hidden gem for visitors of the area wine trails. The breakfast served to your room daily was more than we could eat and was delicious and healthy. The room was beautiful keeping in a pink theme (each room has a color). The innkeeper was very friendly and was quick to respond to any requests. Couldn’t have made a better choice for our weekend tasting wine.

Amazon Nostalgic Weekend Stay
Owner/Host was outstanding and worked with us through some travel issues with flight cancellations etc.
The nostalgic property offered us exactly what we needed for a weekend trip to visit family in the area.
The bed was very comfortable, the room was clean and accommodating, and the breakfast was OUTSTANDING.
I would recommend to anyone needing a room in the area.

Davie school Inn is a beautiful piece of history. Started with a brief tour, then onward to our room (purple) which was a gorgeous escape from the everyday. In room jetted tub, beautiful fireplace, sitting area for dining and entertainment, freshly made breakfast delivered right to our door and a super comfortable bed and pillows are just some of the thing we loved on our stay. Lyle did a wonderful job as our innkeeper. Super informative and always ready to help with anything you may need. All in all a gorgeous little gem right here in southern Illinois.

One of the BEST!!
This Inn was amazing!! It was such an interesting place. We were in the Red Room and it’s theme was geography. There were lots of globes and maps. The bed was probably the most comfortable bed I’ve ever found in a hotel/inn. The innkeepers were wonderful and the breakfast was so delicious!! We will definitely be back!!

Unique experience
Davies School Inn was a unique, fun experience. The rooms are former classrooms so they are more spacious than an average hotel room. Ours had multiple beds and I loved the layout. Kids and kids at heart can play basketball in the gym. There are hodgepodge libraries for movies and board games. Throw in a jetted tub and homemade breakfast (ours was French toast with locally sourced peaches) and it's all a great value.
