Willow Lake Bed & Breakfast has been in the Champaign-Urbana Area for over 20 years and offers a quaint Victorian era setting for you to enjoy a relaxing vacation or have an elegant tea party. The house is a refurbished Victorian mansion originally built in 1837. It features fireplaces in every room as well as a beautiful outdoor patio that overlooks our lush garden. We have various stay packages and tea party packages for you to choose from. Contact us to reserve a room today!

Rooms

Right now we have three rooms available, there are two other bedrooms in the house, but they are in the process of being redecorated and should be available this coming fall.

Each bedroom features a queen size bed, a fireplace, chairs and other beautiful antique furnishings. Two bathrooms are available for guest use and the Honeymoon suite is the only room to have its own attached bathroom. All prices are subject to change and do not include taxes and fees.

Tea Parties

We offer many different tea party packages and serve a variety of teas and snacks for just about any event you could imagine! All our teas are from the Walnut Street Tea Company in Downtown Champaign. For birthday parties where the celebrant is a young man or young lady we recommend a Light Tea rather than a Full Tea. Tea Parties can be scheduled any time from 1pm to 5pm and are available indoors year round and outdoors in the garden from May to September.
