As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

We all need a quiet getaway sometimes, one in which relaxing and recharging in a comfortable setting are necessary. The historic city of Mount Carroll is home to a beautiful historic hotel where you can do just that. Bridgewater Inn provides ideal accommodations for those who are looking for some peace and quiet.

Constructed in 1886, this historic building was originally called the Glenview and was built as a luxury hotel. It eventually became known as the "Crown Jewel" of Mount Carroll. Although the hotel has changed hands and its name since then, it is considered "Carroll County's oldest working hotel."

The amenities are basic, and there are no televisions to be found (and no gym for that matter), but it will be both comfortable and quiet.
