Irish Inn - Ozark, IL
The Irish Inn is filled with mementos from adventurous lives spent on six continents. Innkeepers Brian & Lynn McCreery are world travelers who came together in Northern Ireland three years ago. They were married on the levee of the Ohio River in 2008 by Rev. Murrell Hazel, who holds the record for performing the most weddings for guests at The Irish Inn. Having spent decades traveling in pursuit of business and pleasure, the McCreerys are well-acquainted with what makes a stay a joy.
Brian loves living in the wilderness of Southern Illinois, near canyons, waterfalls, two great Rivers, the horse trails, and 32 wineries. He is learning all the best places to hike, and at 60 years of age is taking up boulder climbing.
Lynn has ridden every mile of Tunnel Hill State Trail (45-mile bicycle trail), hiked in all the natural areas, and is active in all the historical, genealogical, and Native American organizations in the area. She enjoys sharing stories of ghosts, pioneers, and Native Americans. The Irish Inn keeps them both busy, but they are determined to visit Antarctica. If you have been there, they will want to hear all about it.

Closer to home in the Midwest and MidSouth, they spend two days per month visiting other bed and breakfast inns. In fact, taking these mini-holidays on a monthly basis was their New Year’s resolution – one they are keeping with relish. You can make the same promise, a resolution you will surely keep!
Brian and Lynn are members of the Illinois Bed & Breakfast Association (IBBA) and the Professional Association of Innkeepers International (PAII). The Irish Inn is located at 600 Soloman Lane in rural Ozark, Illinois. The phone numbers are (618) 695-3355 to escape or (618) 695-5683 to elope. Their website is http://irishinn.tripod.com/ and email address is irishinn@lycos.com.
