Please check with the host, Kathy, to ensure that the site is available for additional nights. We ask that you spend about $20 in town or donation to the Vasa for each night of your stay.

Check in for parking instructions. The parking place is in the paved driveway of the Vasa National Archives. The Vasa faces the 109 S Bishop Hill Rd and the driveway is on Knox and S Bishop Hill Rd. Your GPS may take you to 109 N Bishop Hill Rd. If there is a green house across the street with a metal fence in front, you are in the correct place. There is no park across from us. DO NOT TURN ONTO KNOX ST FROM S BISHOP HILL ROAD: there is a dip in the road that has captured tour buses. Please go east on Main St off of S Bishop Hill Road and drive around the block. Once on Main St turn right onto Erickson and then another right on Knox. You will see a red house on the right and the Vasa National Archives is the driveway right next to it.

We encourage you to visit and support our local restaurants, shops, and museums. You can also donate to support Harvest Host in Bishop Hill. You can purchase bottles of wine from Entwined and H. Wyatt Bakery. The Colony Inn also serves all kinds of alcohol beverages.
