The Historic Rose Hotel, located in the heart of the Shawnee National Forest in Elizabethtown, IL, is a charming two-story L-shaped brick structure with a rich history dating back to the 19th century. Originally built by James McFarland, the hotel served as a tavern and boarding house for Ohio River travelers, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
Under the ownership of the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency, the Rose Hotel underwent a $1.6 million renovation and now operates as a Hotel Bed and Breakfast facility managed by Susan M. Hemphill. Guests can enjoy luxurious accommodations in the McFarland Suite, complete with antique furnishings and modern amenities, as well as a delightful dining experience with Sue's Signature breakfasts prepared by the Assistant Innkeeper.
