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.
