Jackson House, Alton, Illinois
Alton Illinois Bed and Breakfast with Antiquing, Golfing, Riverboat Gambling
Jackson House guests have enticing choices; the elegant Master Bedroom or the Fireplace Room in the Victorian era main house or a secluded guesthouse. The Barn Again guesthouse offers a rustic atmosphere with touches of luxury. Depending on the weather, guests can enjoy sipping and lounging on an enclosed porch or on an open deck overlooking woods and creek. The Cave is a small earth house nestled into a wooded slope. Inside The Cave a shimmering glow from skylights pours over natural elements and animal figures which form a unique mix with sophisticated furnishings. Just outside the bedroom door the sun and shade of a patio invite relaxation. Breakfast in the Jackson House dining room may be New Orleans French toast, asparagus frittata, a breakfast casserole, or sausage stuffed potatoes. Guests in The Barn or The Cave may choose to enjoy a simple but satisfying cold plate breakfast taken from the guest house refigerator at their leisure in the morning. The finishing touch to breakfast is a Jackson House tradition; pie for dessert!
Travelers with pets and families with children under 13 are welcome in the guesthouses. The Cave is handicapped accessible.
