The experience hit a soft spot for nostalgia that I didn't know I had. It's charming and cute and the owners and family are among the nicest people I've met in a long time. The downside is that there wasnt a fan in the room (perhaps they could have provided had I asked) and the single pane window road noise wasn't ideal. But the bad was more than made up for by the good. 5 Stars plus!

Interesting and unique place to stay

Great hosts. Good meals and conversation.

This huge house was decorated in the period of the early 20th Century in a mixed historic area of Rock Island. The dining area was elegantly furnished with impressive breakfast place settings and food. However, we were dismayed at the cleanliness and decor of the 3rd floor dingy bedroom, (torn lampshade, broken shutters, spotted blue carpet, dated and faded bedspread, and bathroom/shower with peeling ceiling. etc. Bath is in need of major repair. Stairs up to the 3rd floor was dusty, shabby carpet needs replacement with proprietor's personal outerwear on steps.) We were told by another guest how wonderful the 2nd floor bedroom was as they had stayed there many times. This was our first time and had hoped to stay in the future as we travel to western Illinois many times in a year. We had initially requested the 2nd floor bedroom through Expedia, then, received a call from the proprietor asking if we could move to the 3rd floor attic room due to a double-booking of the 2nd floor bedroom. We MAY give this B&B a second chance due to the staff friendliness and beautiful festive breakfast. It is this writer's opinion they should never have rented the attic room accommodation to us in the condition it is in. We most like would unwittingly gone to another venue and tried this B&B another time as we enjoy staying at B&B's. I am saddened that I must be honest and write this review as I respect those who attempt to keep a historic property viable.

Dated but very charming and the owners are great

The house was beautiful and we felt so welcome. I hope you can go back again.

Finding Victorian Inn made my high school reunion even more pleasant! It was comforting to stay in a true Bed & Breakfast. Hosts delivered an easy experience and killer breakfast. The dining table place setting and meal was comforting and led to good conversations with the other guests. Thank you Parker’s! Your hard work and diligence will be appreciated by those who chance upon your property.

It was amazing, this was a 10 out of 10, The Parkers should write a book "This how it's done" for other B&B owners! We were greated upon arrival, shown around, given tips on what to see and visit. Wonderful coffee and Barbara's breakfast was outstanding! Davids knowledge and history of the region is very impressive. We can't wait to find an excuse to return!

Dave, Carol and daughter, Beth, were outstanding hosts. The Inn is gorgeous and full of history (Dave’s personal knowledge was a bonus). The house does need some cleaning, which is why we docked our scores. The grounds could also use some work.

Very unique and privately owned property. The welcome from Owners David and Barbara was warm and genuine. Room was large, comfortable and quiet. Really nice home freshly cooked breakfast to finish the stay.

Beautiful home. Amazing hosts. Will definitely be back!

It is a nice, quiet place to stay. It was special to stay in an old Victorian home with so much charm. The owners Barbara and David Parker were very kind and visited with us. We enjoyed that. The breakfast was very good. The Elizabeth room was very sweet. Thank you.

Decor is reminiscent of a age long ago. Wood carved moldings and staircase display workmanship of artisans. Breakfast and conversation was wonderful.

We had a wonderful stay. it was just like we took a trip back in time. David and Barbara are wonderful hosts.

The hosts were wonderful and the accommodations were great! We had a homemade delicious breakfast before we left. Such a charming place we will return!

Beautiful home, wonderful couple, felt very comfortable staying there.

Elegant historic with modern restororation. Great breakfast and personal attention to our needs. Loved it.

David and Barb were wonderful hosts, lovely people.

I loved how they had their own personal items throughout the whole house!

The hosts are very friendly and the breakfast was tasty. However the actual room needs better cleaning and the "king " bed were two beds pushed together and they were uneven and the mattress was not firm at all.

Barbara and Dave were excellent hosts and their charming home is filled with the soul of a bygone era.

Food was Excellent. Dust around upper trim needs cleaning

*Owners were very friendly & curtious *Housekeeping was not the best...floors needed vacuumed...dust everywhere....bathrooms not real clean *Breakfast was nice but 8a is early if you're out late night before

The hosts were simply darling! The breakfast experience was great. It was like a family breakfast and the food and the care in serving it exceeded all expectations.

Wondeful stay, and wonderful hosts--gracious in showing us around the B&B, and very thoughtful. Our room was a delight and very comfortable. We will be back!

Dave and Barbara are exceptionally nice proprietors. It’s a classic B&B and they are very accommodating. We definitely enjoyed our stay, although we didn’t spend much time there due to our commitments in the area. Great house with history.

This is a beautiful old (1870) house that is filled ( !! ) with beautiful old things -- furniture, fireplaces, glassware, carpets, lamps, etc. Hosts are a wonderful elderly couple. His family has owned the house since 1905 and he grew up there. Breakfast was wonderful. A quiet, elegant neighborhood.

Very comfortable room with a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Great time delightful hosts

Mr. and Mrs. Parker are gracious hosts, and their home is a wonder to behold. Everything about our stay there exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend The Victorian.

Very nice and friendly people!
