Close (5 miles) to Carbondale and family-friendly activities . Fine for couples, solo adventurers, relative and researchers visiting the university. Quiet and rural, its a place to get a really good sleep. Sunny rooms, big windows, trees, birds and peaceful ambience. I write "rustic" because its also a little rough; flaws include minor midway renovations and half-done paint jobs. This is an older home that I'm always trying to make nicer, in small stages. If you are ok with that, come stay!

The guest bedroom has its own sink and toilet off the room. The guest bed is a comfy futon that is low to the ground. Not good for people with knee problems. If that is not you you will sleep well here. There is a shared shower and bath across the hall.

Its in the country. There is a good road to run and walk on.
