Big Horse Inn is a clean cozy hotel. I appreciate that it’s conveniently located and has Black Maple coffee attached to it. For my low vision I wish the lighting in the rooms was better.

For being in such a rural setting, Big Horse Inn and Suites was outstanding. My room was nice and clean when I arrived. The owner was present every day and both her and her helpers were very accommodating. I will definitely use this lodging again.

Wonderful rural town stay!
We enjoyed this small town stay very much! We were traveling in our show car and felt it a safe place. The building was well maintained and inside clean with wonderful country decor. Guessing they are extremely covid safe- it was self check-in and out- never did meet any staff? They have a cute coffe & sandwich shop, Casey's across the Street, and a wonderful hometown cafe across the stree as well.

Although the front desk was not staffed when we arrived, the keys to our rooms, along with the check-in documents, were on the desk waiting for us. I liked that.

Big Horse Inn is such a nice place to stay. We were in town to visit with family in Havana. Big Horse was a perfect place for us and a few other family members to stay.
The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The coffee bar/snacks were well stocked. We appreciated the open area for visiting.
While the Inn was EXCELLENT, the nearby dining choices were limited. The attached coffee shop, Black Maple Coffee, and the Mexican restaurant down the road had positive reviews from family members.

Spoon River Speedway Oasis
Taken by surprise. Wasn't expecting much with it being in a town of less than 500 but was pleasantly surprised! I will highly recommend for the next trip to Spoon River Speedway and hope to rent to the whole place for my team

Don't miss this gem!
Big Horse Inn is a hidden gem in this part of Illinois. It is perfectly located, close to Dickson Mounds (great hiking trails), Emiquon National Wildlife Refuge, and the Illinois/Spoon River area. The room was spacious and the bed was comfy. Self check-in could not have been easier. Don't miss the attached Black Maple coffee shop for delicious breakfast and lunch options (and coffee, of course). The inn is within easy walking distance of a traditional small-town diner, Casey's, and Dairy Queen, so plenty of options for any dining budget!

Room was spotless. Area was very quiet and dark (in a good way — better for sleeping). Complimentary snacks in lobby was thoughtful. There were some insects in the room — tiny ant-like critters that wouldn't go away and a spider in the sink. Surprising because the room was so clean.
