We're Going Green

Patchwork Inn in partnership with the Illinois Renewable Energy Association (IREA) is using soft organically grown cotton and bamboo linens. We use recycled paper products and earth friendly cleaning supplies, Patchwork Inn prides itself in being casually elegant AND environmentally conscious.

We ask for your help with water usage and energy conservation while you are our guests. Unless specifically requested, linens and towels are replaced “as needed”. This one small change results in dramatically less electricity and water being used each year. All bathrooms have a low- flow massaging shower head installed.

We partner with Clean the World to recycle our bar soaps and bottled amenities so those less fortunate can benefit from the practice of good personal hygiene.

Patchwork Inn is a completely “smoke free” environment and does not allow smoking inside or outside the property (porches decks etc) All guest rooms have windows that open allowing access to fresh Oregon air.

We believe in reducing, reusing and recycling. There are recycling bins located in common areas for guest use. We regularly donate our gently used linens and other items to local organizations.

We use are committed to using only low VOC paints and finishes for maintenance and renovations.

During your stay we hope you can enjoy sitting on our patio furniture made from recycled plastic bottles. While we appreciate the no maintenance and durability of this wonderful product we hope you will enjoy its comfort and style. Our dining room linens are also made from plastic bottles. Each tablecloth came from 23 plastic bottles and each napkin was made from 4 bottles.

Illinois produces many fine fruits and vegetables. When we prepare our breakfasts or ala cart items, whenever possible, we use fresh locally produced product. We also believe in supporting local business. Some of the companies we proudly support are Conover Coffees, Bassler Ace Hardware, Cooks Collection, Merlin’s Floral, Super Value, Sullivans and the Oregon Soap Shoppe to name a few.

The Patchwork Inn is located within walking distance to almost everything in Oregon. We encourage you to enjoy a pleasant walk to the local establishments, eateries or simply enjoy a stroll along our “Sinnissippi”.
