Tucked away just two doors east of the Main House, The Cottage Inn offers a serene and private escape for guests seeking solitude. Originally built in 1904 in Chicago and transported by train to its current location in Springfield, this charming inn is one of several Sears Catalogue homes lining Walnut Street.

The cozy two-room accommodations on the second floor exude a delightful cottage-style charm that diverges from the Victorian flair of the main house. Additionally, guests seeking a longer stay can take advantage of The Cottage Inn's extended stay apartment, which provides a fantastic value for those seeking extended comfort. Plus, all rooms and outdoor sitting areas on the porch come equipped with complimentary Wi-Fi, ensuring that guests can stay connected while enjoying the peace and quiet of their secluded retreat.
