This place has potential. It's a beautiful old building with a great front porch and nice views. I liked our Door County room and the room was very clean and comfortable. I was a little disappointed with the grounds. The landscape in the front was overgrown. I think the backyard could have more flowers. The breakfast was just ok. My boyfriend's casserole was quite small and his toast was not toasted. I will try somewhere else next time.

We rented out the entire inn for a family weekend. The inn keepers Sharon and Kevin were very accommodating and eager for us to have a great nite. The rooms were spacious and clean. The outdoor seating on the front and back porch was perfect for a summer evening of relaxing. Breakfast the next morning was delicious. I would highly recommend Brightwood as a great place for groups to stay and enjoy being together for an evening or weekend.

We had a wonderful weekend in the at Brightwood Inn in the Mackinac room! We started off with a very nice gift basket for our stay. Sharon and Kevin feed us some fantastic breakfasts. For Valentine's we were also treated to some homemade chocolate strawberries and handmade truffles. SUPERB! The Mackinac room was very nice. You are able to see the sunrise and sunsets from all of the great windows. The bed and sheets were super comfy and soft. We slept like a baby. Add in some eagle watching and ice waterfalls at Starved Rock, it was a perfect weekend. Thank you Sharon and Kevin for a wonderful weekend. We will definitely be joining you again.

Our first bed and breakfast experience. We bought a Groupon to try something different. The building and the room (Mallory) were excellent. The room came with a great Jacuzzi for two, and a cozy balcony with a table and seating for two. If you are the type who doesn't believe in clocks, go elsewhere. Check-in is between 3 pm and 6pm, no earlier allowed and later allowed with permission only. Breakfast is after 8:30 am, if are an early riser (and I am) and like to eat earlier (and I sometimes do) you are out of luck. I would never pay full price for the room, but it was a good value with the Groupon.

Cleanliness A Value B Grounds C Hospitality/Friendliness of Hosts D Our first bed and breakfast....disappointed with the experience. Will try again....but not here. Surprised that the owners/operators are in the business....the way they treat their customers!

We had a truly lovely stay, on the third floor aspen suite. Don't miss breakfast, it's excellent.

This was me and my wife's first time staying at a B&B and Sharon and Kevin have set the bar very high. Beautiful and quiet room with matching surroundings. Breakfast was delicious and very thoughtful. Sharon helped point us in the direction of some of the beautiful places in the area. I could talk to her all day! It is highly recommended and we will definitely be back.

My husband and I celebrated our 16th anniversary at the Brightwood Inn. We had a great time. The facilities were well manicured and clean. The staff was friendly, welcoming and personable. We stayed in the Aspen suite. It was beautiful! We had the anniversary special. The chocolate covered strawberries were displayed beautifully and were deliciously fresh. The package also included a cake and balloons. Breakfast was great also. Everything was freshly prepared. Fruits, vegetables, and herbs were freshly picked and prepared from their garden. We had such a great time and was so extremely comfortable that we wish at least annually to celebrate all future anniversaries. There is plenty to do in the area. All in all, it was the closest to perfect that we could ask for and more than we expected. I definitely recommend the Brightwood Inn to all couples seeking a nice, private, clean, friendly, romantic setting and place to get a way - this is the place!

We stayed here two nights and it's great if you're seeking the charm and coziness of a bed and breakfast, but prefer the privacy of a hotel. We stayed in the Vieux Carre room, which is the only room that's on the first floor and is a spacious room with a large jacuzzi, small balcony, and a beautiful view of the prairie. The inn is located a few miles from the entrance of Matthieson State Park, Starved Rock, and "downtown" Utica. It's on the expensive side, and unfortunately we didn't get to sample their food (breakfast is included but dinner is not and by reservation only), but we had a peaceful and enjoyable weekend here.

Celebrated my birthday with my sweetheart here and enjoyed everything. Chocolate covered strawberries and flowers to greet us in a larger then imagined room along with a relaxing jacuzzi tub that you couldn't get me out of. Breakfast was delicious just wish they gave you a bit more in the entree size and the older lady waitressing was more welcoming. I'm a waitress so I may just be picky but when it's early in the morning and your hungry the last thing I want to deal with is a off putting waitress. Other then that the bed was comfortable and the overall grounds are beautiful. Another successful, relaxing birthday in the books!

We visited the Brightwood inn for our 17 year wedding anniversary. It was OK, but I don't think it's worth the price, even if you get a deal through Living Social. A bit overpriced if you ask me for what you get. Also, it needs a little updating and cleaning. The room was ok, but there were stains on the carpet and the grout in the shower was yellow and nasty. Even the whirlpool tub jets were yellowed and nasty looking. When we got back from our dinner at about 7:30/8:00 there were still dirty dishes in the dining room and there was pizza and salad on the stairs. Just kind of nasty. The bed however was very comfy and this place gives you a nice homey feel. However, I would rather have stayed at the Starved Rock Lodge and had all the amenities such as an indoor pool, people to clean the rooms and public areas and had the trails right there instead of being in the middle of nowhere. Brightwood Inn however is very serene and relaxing and does offer a different type of experience.

We've visited Brightwood since 2001 and have stayed in every room. Our favorites are Vieux Carre and Mallory Square - each has a little balcony. Six of the rooms have wonderful, big whirlpool tubs. The ground are fun to walk as there is always something new to see. We love hiking at nearby Matthison State Park. The Ryan's do a lovely, cooked breakfast. We hate ham and they are great about not serving it when we are guests. All of the rooms are well soundproofed and have irons and ironing boards. The televisions are a bit small but who goes to a romantic inn for the TV.? The fireplace is a nice touch in the winter. The public rooms are comfortable, especially the library where pop and water and cookies are available 24 hours a day. There are several nice little pubs and restaurants in the area as well as a bit of sightseeing and great hiking. At an hour and a half from home, this is a perfect 1-2 night get away spot.

Gorgeous grounds and amazingly well built, beautiful decor. But... the bed was hard, the CD player did not work, the jacuzzi tub controls were run by an improvised switch, original switch taped over, plus someone does not know how to use the edger when vacuuming. John was great but Jo - scary lady. Please do not refer to her as a hostess, we heard another couple grant her with that title and then heard her complaining about it later. In all dealings she was brusque and cold, very unwelcoming. Thank goodness for John, he saved the experience for us with his conversation, his fabulous garden, and his cooking. As far as the rooms being soundproof - no, they are not. We overheard another couple stating that the shower-noises in another room was their alarm clock while they were there. Thank you John, Jo - please stay in the office.

for our visit to starved rock park, i wanted to stay in a nice place where there would be no kids around. on brightwood inn's website, they specifically said children under (12?) find us extremely boring. hilarious and totally what i wanted. nice, quiet, and relaxing, and our room was less expensive than the lodge that is in starved rock park itself. and there was a great hot breakfast with eggs and ham or sausage, fruit, yogurt, baked goods, juice and coffee! the room itself wasn't overly nice, we just got a basic room with shower and bed. the tv is in a weird position...i know you don't go to a nice country inn for the tv, but i got my fix of HGTV and food channels here since we don't have cable at home. the owners weren't overly friendly but still very welcoming and pleasant. i'd stay here again if i wanted to go hiking at starved rock.
