Cozy little appartement in Elsah
We had a wonderful stay in this cozy little Elsah apartment. Elsah is a neat little town with a lot of history. We enjoyed walking around the town. The upstairs apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again.

I booked this property for my birthday weekend. It was so cute and decorated in a French style. It was fully stocked and very cozy. It’s close to Grafton and Alton. The town of Elsah alone is worth the stay. Thank you for a great stay.

We loved our stay at Suite Jane. The building and the inside were charming. Everything was decorated beautifully and was clean as could be. There were even items left for us to use; s&p, oil, coffee/tea, body soap and more. Thank you!

Awesome All-Around
This place was perfect! The care that the owners have taken to restore the property to a lovely historical apartment is apparent. In addition to being beautiful, the apartment was impeccably clean and provided easy access to both the nearby nature trails and St. Louis. For people who like having a quiet place to stay in the evening and easy access to a variety of things to do during the day, you can't ask for a better spot.

Elsah “riveree”
We love Elsah and the river road and visit both every time we come to Alton to see family. This time we were delighted to find this quaint and distinctive apartment to stay in atop a fabulous clothing store located in the main area of Elsah. Staying there gave us a chance to have an intimate visit with a few family members, play board games and take pictures of ourselves in the lovely attire we purchased in the fun store downstairs amidst the French country decor! We highly recommend and will no doubt return!

Transported to the South of France... right here in IL!
This place was otherworldly, not a single detail was neglected! As I sat sipping tea in a custom made chair sat morning, staring at the 2ft thick walls & original glass windows & floors I felt like I was in Europe again! The owners are some of my favorite people I’ve met in a while, warm, welcoming, generous & the home is just plain decadent! Check in /out was a breeze & the price is so affordable! The village is historic, quaint & reminiscent of a simpler time... visit the antique store, the general store w/ original countertops from the 1800’s or the ladies boutique on the first floor of the home. This is more than a home, it’s an experience & you are robbing yourself if you don’t book this place immoderately! We will be back!
