Take some time out for yourself and enjoy great golf on a 4.5 rated, 18 hole course in Beautiful Central Illinois. We are more than flyover country. Taylorville Lake Shore Golf Course is located on the shores of Lake Taylorville and is just 3.5 miles from our front door.
Not everyone in your group plays golf? Bring your bicycle and ride the Lincoln Prairie Hike and Bike Trail which begins just 6 blocks from our front door, shop the stores around our National Registry Historic Town Square just 2 blocks away, sit around and read your book, get up early on Saturday Morning and meet the Clock Master at 7:30 AM at the South door of the Christian County Court House and go with him to wind and service the county clock at the top of the clocktower and enjoy a bird’s eye view of our community, take a jog through our 65 acres city park. There are plenty of things to do here if your needs are simple.

The Hotel Package
www.youtube.com
Hotels have begun offering Bed and Breakfast packages and so we in the Bed and Breakfast business have decided to offer a Hotel Package. What a deal!
When you come to Christian County Illinois and to the County Seat of Taylorville, place where you get the absolute most for your lodging buck is the Market Street Inn Bed and Breakfast. If you are looking for restaurants with websites for proof that they are here you will not find it. We have several restaurants with great food, great prices and no websites. There is usually a band playing somewhere in town on weekend nights and we have great bars with very reasonably priced drinks but no websites. Ride the Lincoln Prairie Hike and Bike Trail which is just 6 blocks from our front door. Play golf at Taylorville Lake Shore Golf Course which is rated 4.5 by Golf Digest. Snuggle up with your partner and enjoy the ambiance of “fire” in an electric fireplace all year round or our gas fireplaces in the cold months. Check out our rave reviews on Trip Advisor and Bed&Breakfast.com regarding our breakfasts, our coffee and our service. Go a few minutes away to Springfield, IL and visit the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum and treat yourself to a Springfield Culinary Creation, a “Horse Shoe”. If you are looking for life in the slow lane, we can offer some of that too. Bring your fishing license and pole and wet your line at Lake Taylorville or Sangchris Lake. We can probably find a place for you to ride a horse if you provide us with a week’s notice. Good things and good fun happen here. Come and stay a few nights.
