Five siblings and their spouses stayed at Hoffman House after a family reunion in another town. Everyone couldn't stop talking about how clean, beautiful and interesting the house and outside seating. Several people said, "this was perfect. I'd definitely stay here again!

My name is Sharon and I am the owner of this brilliant Victorian property. I grew up in Fairbury and love offering this space to our community for events and lodging where otherwise there are no options.

Why they chose this property

This home is Central to the community. You can walk next door to the convenient store, our supermarket is just a few blocks away, as is our main street and other small town shopping.

What makes this property unique

The house is so unique. There are old houses and then there is THIS house. Some people call it the mini-Biltmore as the craftsmanship is truly extraordinary.
