Prepare to receive the VIP treatment at Harrison House Bed & Breakfast in the heart of downtown Naperville, IL. Whether you are en route to activities and attractions, or have a relaxing getaway in mind, make Harrison House your home base in this posh suburb of Chicago. With “Welcome – We are Glad You Are Here” as their motto, it will not take long for you to feel right at home from the moment you walk through the door. Innkeeper Debbie Browning and her husband Mark, enjoy making every guest comfortable at the Harrison House B&B.

Irresistible aromas waft from Debbie’s kitchen virtually any time of day. Why resist the temptation? Over the weekend she may be whipping up one of her many organic desserts like lemon bars, brownies, carrot cake and chocolate chip cookies. In addition to her wholesome yet indulgent treats, she is a wizard with breakfast too. She is known to delight her guests with scrumptious organic breakfasts while being attentive to special dietary requirements or restrictions.

Debbie, who developed her finesse for cooking over the years, believes in using fresh and buying local. She shops at the market daily for produce and ingredients for her inspired cooking, as she is always experimenting with unexpected food combinations. “Alternating sweet and savory flavour enhancements are incorporated into each dish,” she says, but what she serves really depends on her guests. There is no set daily menu. You are welcome to socialize with others in the charming dining room, eat in the privacy of your room, or enjoy a leisurely breakfast on the expansive front porch.

Built in 1904, this beautifully restored Victorian home was originally a wedding gift from one of the town’s early settlers, to his bride-to-be, and was transitioned into a bed and breakfast in 2002. It features five luxury guest rooms with large Jacuzzi and/or claw foot tub with rain-head shower, and other modern amenities and elegant extras.

Its close proximity to quaint downtown shops and restaurants, Naper Settlement, Centennial Beach, and the Riverwalk make Harrison House a perfect setting for couples, groups and business travelers. Discover why it is the recipient of dozens of glowing guest reviews. At Harrison House, they look forward to meeting you and to making your stay with them a memorable one.
