WELCOME TO THE SHELBY INN!

Located in Shelbyville, Illinois – a quaint community nestled near the intersection of Lake Shelbyville and the Kaskaskia River.

Enjoy a visit whether you’re taking advantage of the beautiful lake boasting 250 miles of untouched shoreline, looking for a romantic retreat, settling in for a business trip, attending a wedding/event, or hunting/fishing in the area.

You will find The Shelby Inn to be a unique experience. We hope the charm and convenience of this hotel community will make you wish to return often.

Located on the property you will find The Tallman House, currently being used as our registration facility.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it has been carefully restored to its 1904 Victorian grandeur, with future plans to utilize the 2nd and 3rd-floor space of the historic home as a short-term rental.

Stay tuned for more information as we continue to find ways of accommodating our guests with the utmost convenience.

We had a special visitor yesterday.

Stan Wittacker
Horace Tallman was his great grandfather and his grandmother was the second daughter of Horace.

Born in the home on 1921 and relocated to Colorado in 1922.

Horace Tallman was the gentleman who built the home that is now our lobby. It is listed on the national register of historic places. Horace Tallman was one of the inventors of the pickup hay bailer.

We have the best visitors! Who else wants to be part of the inn crowd? 😉

The lobby area is such a cute spot to explore! We got the double king room for our family and it worked out beautifully. The kids slept great and everything was clean! The new bedding and cleaners were a big step up for us from staying in Shelbyville last year. Excited to see what other changes are to come!

The new processes have been so slick. We were given our code to get in our room and everything was clean with new bedding from last time I stayed in this hotel. I spoke with the staff a bit while there and they all were super helpful and cheerful. Great little hotel close to everything in town! The historic home was a blast to walk around in and see while we were there too. The kids loved it.

My brother and I stayed in one of the larger rooms of the hotel and it was great! We loved seeing the historic house during the check-in process and had a great stay in Shelbyville. Our room had a mini fridge and microwave with a coffee pod maker. And it’s walking distance to a bunch of places nearby and only a few minutes from the beach!

This hotel in Shelbyville was so great to stay in for our family! The room we stayed in was so spacious and for our needs perfectly! The host was so accommodating and helpful. We had a great day at Lake Shelbyville and was able to return to a quiet and restful hotel!

Rooms could use a refresh, but overall it's a great place to stay for a weekend. Plenty of space in the room, hot showers, responsive temperature controls, and quiet nights for sleeping mean it checks all the boxes. The TVs in the rooms have some parental controls in place, which is a little unusual, but you can still access the full complement of usual channels and watch your favorite shows. The staff is very friendly and will do what they can to make sure you have a great stay.

Owner Ken is gracious and warm-hearted. The staff do an excellent job cleaning the rooms and leaving everything just right. We've been staying at Ken's over many years of family reunions in the local area and recommend you give the Shelby Inn a try - it's within walking distance of Druby's, the local place for ice cream and burgers, and so much more. The Shelby Inn also has a charming shaded place to sit outside when family members are meeting for morning coffee!
