Whether you are looking to recharge and renew, have an adventure at Starved Rock State Park or fish at Lake Mendota, or simply visit with friends and relatives, we are happy to be your home away from home.
We are perfectly located across from a lovely city park and the Hume-Carnegie Museum. Enjoy front row seats for Mendota’s annual Sweet Corn Festival, visit Mendota’s historic train station, take a country drive to find farm raised eggs and local honey, beef and sausage, enjoy a few rounds at the Mendota Golf Club, or visit Starved Rock State Park, 30 minutes down the road.
Mendota is a 90 minute Amtrak ride from Chicago's Union Station (3 trains per day); Cherry Bear Bed & Breakfast is a 5 minute walk from Mendota’s Amtrak station. This makes us a relaxing and economical home base for exploring the city by day. (See station information and train schedules here.)
If you are arriving by Amtrak and prefer not to walk, let us know and we'll meet you at the station. If you're arriving by car, we offer off street parking and will soon be equipped for Level 2 EV charging.
