Situated in Southern Illinois is a historic bed & breakfast located near the Ohio River that not only offers vintage suites with luxury accommodations but a unique activity you won't find anywhere else.
Located in the historic town of Metropolis, this inn is home to a princess-style carriage that is shaped like a pumpkin and fit for Cinderella.
Most days, this neat attraction sits in front of the hotel but on most Fridays and Saturdays, you'll find it cruising around downtown Metropolis giving horseless carriage rides.
The carriage is motor-powered and human-steered with space for as many as six passengers. This is a wonderful way to explore the town and see the sights.

The carriage is excellent for weddings, engagement photos, and other special photo shoots. It is well-maintained and adds magic to any occasion.
Rooms with Jacuzzi tubs, kitchenettes, homemade breakfasts, and much more abound at this inn if you do choose to stay the night. It is definitely worth a trip to this historic town.
