FAQs: COVID-19 Lodging and Event Policies

Click on the section you are interested in for more information​
Can I stay overnight at Allerton?

Yes, rooms are available in the Mansion and guesthouses. Learn about our increased safety protocols here. Find room details and booking instructions here.

We hope Allerton is a peaceful place to find respite, relaxation, and inspiration during this challenging time.

Can I host an event at Allerton?

We are open for events with safety precautions.

Contact our Sales Team at allertonevents@illinois.edu or 217-333-3287 for details and availability.

Do I need to wear a mask?

Yes. Masks are required outside of your room.

Will there be a guest staying in my room the night before me?

There may be; however, in addition to our normal cleaning protocol, all surfaces in your room will be disinfected with an atomizer. 

Will there be other guests staying in the same building as me?

Yes, there may be other guests in the same building as you.

Are the Mansion or guesthouses open to Park visitors?

No, only overnight guests will be allowed in lodging facilities.

Where do I check in/out for overnight lodging?

Mansion guests should check in at the Front Desk. If you are staying in a guesthouse (Gatehouse, House in the Woods, and Evergreen Lodge), please drive down the Rathje Drive and call 217-333-3287 so our staff can bring your key to your vehicle.

Visitors staying in the guesthouses should leave keys in their room upon departure.

Are there food or drink options available?

As of May 1, the Greenhouse Café is open. In addition, downtown Monticello is a short 10 minute drive away, and has several dine-in and carry-out options. You can find updates on local businesses here and in the “Eat Around Monticello” Facebook group. Learn more about area attractions here.

We also recommend bringing a cooler with ice.

Are there any other COVID-19 related facility closures?

Common areas in the Mansion (i.e., lounge areas, basement Rec Room, and fire pits) are not available for gathering. Public Restrooms are available in the Greenhouse and Main Parking Lot. Find all COVID-19 related updates and closures here.

Can I rent an entire building?

Yes! Discounts are available for renting the entire Mansion or a guesthouse. Contact our Sales Team at allertonevents@illinois.edu or 217-333-3287 for details.

Do you have any planned activities or events?

We currently have limited onsite events – view the calendar here. (Please note all events have increased safety guidelines and most require pre-registration.)

You can easily fill a day wandering the Formal Gardens, hiking on the trails, and relaxing around the estate. Find printable maps here.

Are pets allowed to stay overnight?

Four legged friends are welcome in the Evergreen Lodge!
