Circa 1892. Carefully and lovingly renovated, this vintage 1892 Queen Anne Victorian home and Carriage House in Taylorville is perfectly located in central Illinois, in the heart of historic Lincolnland. The common area with a kitchenette is on the third floor. Most of the well-appointed guest bedrooms feature double whirlpool tubs and some have fireplaces. Stay in one of the two romantic suites in the Carriage House with pampering amenities. Wake up each day to enjoy a satisfying fireside breakfast. There are many local attractions and activities to enjoy and plan to take a day trip to St. Louis, Missouri, 93 miles away.

My husband and I were impressed with the cleanliness and hospitality Myrna and Joe offered us. We have stayed in many B & B's and this is at the top of our list. Myrna graciously made a special breakfast for me because of my food allergies and told my husband about a fantastic gym where he was able to work out, while I was presenting a workshop at the local hospital. The hospital staff suggested the Inn and told us how generous and well liked Myrna and Joe are in the Taylorville community. We can see why. They are lovely, knowledgeable and thoughtful host. Joe even sent me a poem he thought I would enjoy and Myrna referred me to her association for a future workshop. 5++++ rating!

After moving from Illinois, this was our 6th year at the Market Street Inn! Our entire family, traveling to Illinois from 5 states, base out of the Inn for one week. The accomodations, the food, the atmosphere are more than expected when traveling. Joe and Myrna go out of their way to make us feel "at home". This beautiful, elegant Victorian Home is one not to be missed!

We had a family reunion in Taylorville; most of the rooms were taken by family members. Absolutely outstanding in all categories - the hosts were friendly and helpful, the accomodations were meticulous, the breakfasts excellent! A very family oriented inn.

Excellent service for our business meeting with very quiet rooms and lots of amenities. We were treated like kings while afforded privacy to conduct meetings, at half what it would cost for a regular hotel. The rooms are outstanding, the food excellent, the staff very attentive to every need, and the ambiance makes you forget you are even working. A must stay for business travelers in the area.

Joe and Myrna were the most delightful innkeepers! They made us feel at home from the moment we walked through the door. The rooms were beautiful; very cozy and elegant.

The bed, the breakfasts and the boundless hospitality of the hosts (the impish Joe and the lovely Myrna) are in a word BODACIOUS! Not only that, but gluten free friendly too! Usually having to eat gluten free means feeling deprived while watching everyone else devour tasty treats......not so at Market Street Inn. Check it out!
