We look forward to welcoming you to the Bridgewater Inn. The former Glen View Hotel stands on the corner of Market & Clay Streets and was built in 1886 as a luxury hotel. We’ve lovingly refurbished the hotel and have suites and rooms ready for your next visit. We offer wifi & free parking. Mount Carroll is a quaint town where much of our downtown is on the National Register of Historic Places and where you’ll find live music most weekends, casual and fine dining, the famous Ravens Grin Inn Haunted House & more.

Stroll through our historic town with a self-guided tour book developed by the Mount Carroll Historic Preservation Advisory Committee. The architecture is worth the trip alone! There’s unique shopping, restaurants, and night caps all within walking distance. Mt Carroll has a full service grocery store, home center & pharmacy plus just 5 miles away is the Timberlake Playhouse – Illinois’ the oldest summer stock theatre which presents high quality theatre productions all summer. www.timberlakeplayhouse.org

Also the Mississippi River, Mississippi Palisades State Park and Great River Bike Trail are an easy 10 miles away.

All rooms have private baths, mini fridge, microwave and free WIFI. Sorry, no pets.
