We used the Walker Family Inn to accommodate our family members who were in town to celebrate our daughter’s wedding. We received the keys timely and were thrilled with the comfortable size of the home. Even better was the location—close proximity to the shops in town and those in the surrounding countryside. My family was so pleased and already planning for another stay in the future.

Owner's Response:

Thank you so much! We enjoyed being able to host your family for the wedding. We’d love to have you stay with us agin!

Excellent

My family and I stayed here June 2018. It was wonderful! Tanya and Melodi went out of their way to make sure that we were settled and had everything we needed! The house is FULLY furnished--if you need something, odds are they will have it!

The entire house was spotless, and very comfortable. It truly felt like we were home away from home! My 3 children had a blast in the basement!

I highly recommend the Walker Family Inn without any reservation!

Owner's Response:

Thank you so much for the lovely review! We really enjoyed having you as our guests and would love to have you return anytime! We are so glad our house was a "home away from home" when you came to visit! Your family was charming!

Absolutely perfect!

This house is perfect! It is immaculate and easy to cook, relax and have fun in! Tanya is very nice and friendly and even helped us unload our vehicle! We have been here twice and plan to come again!

Owner's Response:

Thank you! We hope our kitchen had everything you needed! It's a great place for a group get-together and we were happy to have you come back. Looking forward to your next stay!

Sincerely, Tanya and Melodi

My family get together on Labor Day weekend was accommodated wonderfully by staying at the Walker Family Inn. Kitchen dining area space was excellent for the family to gather for breakfast every morning. Love the labeling of drawers for utensils too. Patio and basement were excellent for spillover, games and gathering to chat. Lots of space and nice touches in the bedroom areas as well.

Owner's Response:

Thank you so very much! We enjoyed being able to host your family reunion and are so glad you enjoyed your stay.

Ample space with amenities for family quality time!

You are wonderful guests!

This house is fabulous! It has vintage charm but is updated just enough so that it feels like home! It is impeccable clean, has plenty of room for a large group, is well stocked and the basement is amazing! With a pool table, ping pong and foosball, these is a lot for the kids to do! The downtown, adorable with cute shops and a grocery store, is minutes away. The owners are great, communicate quickly and were here to show us everything we needed to know about the house. We will stay here again when we come back to the area!

Owner's Response:

Thank you so much for the lovely review. We really enjoyed having you stay with us and appreciated the great communication we had with you. We do hope you can come back and stay with us again and have some time to enjoy our wonderful hometown.

Sincerely, Tanya Walker and Melodi Walker McKeighan

Conveniently located, we are 20 minutes from Lake Shelbyville, 50 minutes from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign and just a few hours away from Chicago, Indianapolis and St. Louis. From Interstate 57, take exit 203 and head west towards Arthur on Rte 133.. It is about a 10 minute drive. In Arthur, turn onto Pine Street (it is directly in front of the high school). Go one block to Logan Street and turn right. Our house is the yellow cape cod on the corner of Spruce and Logan. If you are using a GPS to guide your way, the house address is: 39.711843,-88.468750 Explore the surrounding countryside and the many Amish shops that surround our village. The horse-drawn Amish buggies and teams of horses plowing the fields are a common sight. Step back in time to a slower pace of life and relax or enjoy one of our many festivals. Arthur's Freedom Celebration, Moultrie-Douglas County Fair, The Great Pumpkin Patch, Arthur Cheese Festival, Chet Kingery Bluegrass Festival and Mennonite Relief Sale are just of few events held throughout the year.
