My husband and I stayed here for our first wedding anniversary! First of all....the food was simply delicious and creative! The hosts were very kind, soft spoken and non-intrusive. They were like pleasant, silent overseers...making sure your experience was just right! The room was spotlessly clean...no icky feeling when you look at the bathroom or bedding...LOL We loved the his... More

Our thoughts and conversation have drifted back countless times to the peaceful, yet rejuvenating stay we had at the Mission Oak Inn. Denny and Jan were wonderful hosts, so warm and hospitable. The food was wonderful- from the picnic basket of meats we enjoyed for dinner to the exquisite breakfast Denny made! And the quality of the home with the... More

What a surprise to find a bed and breakfast that could accommodate my husband who loves to fish and the foodie in his wife! Such an elegant treasure hidden in Henry, Illinois. This bed and breakfast was such a delight in so many ways. Almost like a sleepy Italian fishing town hidden in the Henry Illinois countryside. I would never... More

If you want a secluded, country attmosphere, fishing on a private lake right outside your door, gourmet breakfasts AND dinners, plus hosts that make you feel at home, yet allow you your privacy...then look no further!

We arrived after dark, tired from the almost six hour drive, and both of us had been suffering with winter ailments. We were greeted by the hosts, who thought of everything to make... More

From the moment we arrived till the moment with left, we were pampered to the hilt. Jan & Denny have mastered what a B&B is about, what is needed & how to leave a lasting impression that leads to returning customers & mastering the idea of one positive experience leads to 10 positive future recommendations. The layout of the B&B... More

Mission Oak Inn is a slice of Heaven on Earth. Denny and Jan are excellent hosts, the food is WAY beyond great, and the fishing is top notch! To start, only 2 couples stay at once, so privacy is at a high level. Denny prepares the BEST breakfast and dinner I have ever had. And if you like to fish,... More
