A Weekend in Arcola: Where Small-Town Charm Meets Big Hospitality
By Cassie Yoder, Director of Marketing & Development, Green Mill Village
A Place That Still Feels Like Home
When I look around Arcola, I still see the same charm that first drew me here decades ago—the kind of place where people wave as they pass and remember your name after just one meeting. Green Mill Village was born out of that same spirit: a dream to create a destination that captures everything we love about small-town life while welcoming travelers from near and far.
Whether you’re visiting family, attending a wedding, or simply looking for a weekend escape, I hope you feel that same warmth the moment you arrive.
Hospitality That Comes from the Heart
At the Best Western Plus Green Mill Village Hotel & Suites, we’ve created more than a place to stay—we’ve built an experience that feels like home. From the complimentary breakfast that starts your morning to the friendly faces at the front desk, our goal has always been to make guests feel part of our community.
The hotel sits just steps from the Event Center, making it the perfect home base for weddings, reunions, and gatherings. And when you need a moment of quiet, you can relax in comfort, knowing you’re surrounded by people who truly care.
Experience the Magic of Arcola
Spend your day exploring Illinois Amish Country, browsing antique shops, or joining locals at a downtown café. Every corner of Arcola has a story to tell, and I never tire of seeing visitors discover them for the first time.
Come for the Weekend—Stay for the Feeling
What makes Arcola special can’t be built overnight—it’s grown through connection, kindness, and pride. My hope is that when you leave, you don’t just remember what you saw—you remember how this place made you feel.
