Spacious Getaway

The charming property has a beautiful foyer, a spacious living room with a large projector screen, a pretty backyard, and comfortable rooms upstairs, each with their own bathroom. Being located in an old "historic" downtown sets it apart from the large majority of other options.

Excellent Property

The McKinley Inn is a great place to stay in Elgin. The downtown location is perfect with restaurants and shopping that are all within easy walking distance. It's also very close to 290 with other restaurant options and grocery stores. The building itself is perfect for several people. It has plenty of room and each bedroom has it's own bathroom, which is definitely a plus. The outside area is also great with a patio and green area. The owner was very accommodating and responded quickly to our emails. It's a beautiful home with lots of perks!

Loved having our bachelorette trip weekend here! The VRBO is positioned in such a nice location and close to several restaurants, a food truck park, and coffee shops. It’s also the perfect place for a movie night. This was such a beautiful place, and we loved staying here!

This was an amazing place. Exactly as pictured and easy to get to. Had a minor issue with downstairs bathroom but it was easy to solve. Thank you for your recommendations for local places. I would definitely stay here again.
