If you visit this northern Illinois bed-and-breakfast and feel like you’ve been there before, there’s a good reason for that. The Cherry Tree Inn B&B played a role in the 1993 film “Groundhog Day” as the place where Bill Murray’s character, Phil Connors, stays. Lori and Greg Miarecki bought the bed-and-breakfast in 2017 after staying there for just five days and turned the property into a space perfect for couples to share some time away. 

Overnight guests are greeted by gorgeous landscaping, and the inn boasts five rooms from which to choose. Each has its own bathroom and is uniquely furnished. In the mornings, a family-style breakfast is served and features dishes Lori makes using ingredients from the local farmers market. To pay tribute to the inn’s moment in the spotlight, each room has a copy of “Groundhog Day” for guests to watch during their stay. 344 Fremont St., Woodstock, Illinois 60098, 815/308-5946, cherrytreeinnbnb.com
