If you are ever in the Carbondale, Illinois area, the Barton House Bed & Breakfast is a great place to stay. The hosts, Linda and Jerry are extremely hospitable. The breakfast was delicious. The hosts know the area inside and out. They were very helpful with suggestions for visiting the sights to restaurants to eat at. We can’t wait to have another opportunity to stay there. The rooms were very clean and spacious. There is WiFi, beautiful grounds, close to town and all in all, just a lovely experience.
