An historic Antioch home is now the village’s first bed and breakfast establishment, Dragonfly Bed and Breakfast, which originally had been the Brogan House. The new bed and breakfast, 1024 Main St., was built in 1885 and bought by hometown woman Sheri Gronert and her husband Kyle in 2009. “I love Victoriana, and we had talked about some day opening a Victorian-style bed and breakfast,” she said. “We looked in Galena, but that was too far away. We also looked at a property in Richmond, but it was too expensive.” Sheri and Kyle enjoyed living in the Brogan House but made no move toward the bed and breakfast dream. Life just happened. At one point, they cared for their daughter, Jessica, when she recuperated twice from cancer.
When Kyle passed in 2014, Sheri felt at a loss and lost. “I talked to my counselor and told her that I felt something was left undone. Something needed to be finished,” Sheri recalled. Her counselor asked her about any dreams Sheri and her husband had talked about. “I remembered the bed and breakfast idea,” she said. “So I got to work.” She painted walls, had tin ceilings installed and highlighted all the authentic Victorian features. The dining room walls are covered with old photos of both original Brogan family and Sheri’s family. Some of the photos of Sheri’s family are more recent. The downstairs sitting room and bedrooms upstairs are a mix of antique and some reproduction furniture. Authentic features like original pine floors have been retained.

There are four bedrooms upstairs. The Harbor Suite features a king bed, an en suite bathroom with a claw foot tub and fireplace. The Geranium Room has two beds that overlook the backyard and has a door to outside stairs that leads to the back porch. The Daffodil Room and Jessica’s Room feature queen beds and share a bathroom with the Geranium Room. Dragonfly is open Friday and Saturday nights and breakfasts are gourmet. “One morning the meal may be sweet and the next, savory,” Sheri said. One morning, caramel
French toast bake, chocolate chip muffins, sausage, yogurt with granola and strawberries may be on the menu. The next morning it might be spinach Gruyere quiche, crispy bacon, glazed apple oat bread and smoothies. Refreshments are served in the afternoon, organic hand and body soaps are offered in the rooms and bedding and bath towels are laundered in pure, natural detergent. For couples on a getaway, when the wives want to walk down Main Street and look in the shops, there is a billiard
