The property is very clean and comfortable. It is modern and updated. It is right across the street from a very good restaurant. We had absolutely no problems during our stay. It is very well kept. I would highly recommend it and I would stay here again myself.

Lovely house in a very sweet village. The residents in the neighborhood are super friendly. There’s a cool shop at the entrance featuring local artists and fair trade items. We were very pleased with the condition of the house. Easy stay! FYI: There were no Uber, Lyft, taxi, or trolley services available.

Visiting friends with a stay in Elsah

Elsah is a quaint little village that is warm and charming. We stayed at an adorable house named Finn Inn that was equally clean and beautiful! There's a restaurant across the street that is frosting on the cake!
