his historic Victorian farm house was once a stay-over for the famous Charles Lindbergh. Finished in 1902, it is the second house built on the property. The DeBolt family originally settled in LaSalle County in 1829, later made claim to 500 acres and still owns the surrounding farm land. The B&B over looks the beautiful Fox River Valley and the former St. Joseph's Health Resort and is nestled on 17 wooded acres.
Relax in one of five unique guest rooms, enjoy a warm fire in our large living room as you look through
antique leaded glass windows, sit outside on the front porch or under the trees, spend time wandering the paths of the 14 Stations of the Cross and then see the historical Sulfur Lick Springs and the Lourde's Grotto ~ Al Capone's and William Hale (Big Bill) Thompson's hang out~ by the beautiful Fox River. All of these things can be found right here on the grounds of Fox River Bed and Breakfast! Scrapbookers click here!
