We enjoyed sipping whiskey with them on the front porch of the B&B ;) Breakfast both mornings was a delightful surprise. Paul is an excellent chef who asks for likes and dislikes the evening before. Habenero poppers, French toast, bacon and yogurt with strawberries and coconut, along with fresh brewed coffee, greeted us the first morning. Oven roasted butternut squash, blueberries, avocado English muffins and omelets were served the second morning. Conversation flowed easily with our hosts. We stayed in the Carbondale Room, the upstairs suite. A comfortable king bed, shower and toilet, along with a closet and dresser, make up the room. If you are passing through, visiting your student or traveling the local wine trail, consider The Train Inn!

It is as big as some hotels but has the same feel as being at home. Joyce & Julie are very accommodating and it is right outside of downtown Carbondale. The location is beautiful with its grounds, pool, hot tub, lake & fountains. Definitely going to come back. Only thing that they can improve on is improving the WIFI as it does go in and out sometimes. Other than that, go check it out!

My wife and I had our wedding here last Saturday. Throughout the whoel time from reserving the…read morelocation to cleaning up after the wedding the staff was amazingly friendly and willing to help make our wedding day as special as possible. The mansion its self is absolutely gorgeous inside and out. There is plenty of room throughout the house that both the both sides of the bridal party were able to get ready without even being on the same floor or side of the house. My wofe stayed the night before int he bridal suite which is huge. If the complete bridal party wanted to stay the night before the wedding they could with ease. We had a very big bridal party containing 20 people and had plenty of room. The outside of the mansion is beautifully landscaped with a gorgeous lake out front with a couple of fountains inside. There's a inground pool, hottub and outdoor bar/grill area also. Pine Manor went above and beyond to make our wedding day special and absolutely gorgeous!!

The cabins are very comfortable and up to date with satellite tv service, comfortable beds, relaxing sitting area with overstuffed furniture and a fireplace. However, the best thing my wife likes is the hot tub! There's nothing like a hot soak to loosen you up after spending a day running all over the place with our son. One of the best perks you get is you can request fresh eggs to be delivered to your cabin porch which you can make for breakfast in the fully equipped kitchen. HIGHLY recommend this place!

Our room was not as advertised, had a chair instead of a couch and no coffee maker in the room. For being a pet friendly motel there isn't too many places for your dog to go to the bathroom- you have to walk to the front of the hotel and have them go "in-front of the abandoned building" area around the hotel is a little sketchy. The internet is crazy slow. The office is very hard to find and looked like it was closed when we arrived. Breakfast was way too basic, I know free breakfast you shouldn't be picky however you come to expect waffles, eggs, meat etc... Heading over to McDonald's. It was nice that they didn't charge a pet fee which was an added perk. Also it is close to many resturants. Would I stay here again probably not. If you are looking for the added Choice Hotels standard this is not the hotel for you, if you have little expectations then this is a place to stay. Ohh and the shower sucks for tall people, unless you are 5'5" you will have a hard time showering!

The worst part about the room was the floors. They were so sticky and the whole room smelled like pee. Or bleach, trying to cover pee. In the middle of the night I wouldn't get out of the bed without shoes on. My husband and I almost slept in our car, for REAL. But there were creepy people outside, so that wouldn't be any better. If this is your only choice, just go camping somewhere. Really, they need to just close.
