The house that is now home to Sidwell Friends Bed and Breakfast was built in the 1920s for Dr. M.M. Lumbattis, a prominent Mount Vernon dentist. The classic colonial style, the craftsmanship, and the size and location of the house all give evidence to the success Dr. Lumbattis had achieved. Sidwell Friends is an intimate (three room), Five Star Bed and Breakfast located in the heart of Southern Illinois at the Crossroads of I-64 and I-57. Guests are encouraged to enjoy the formal living room, sunroom/library, deck, and garden patio for reading lounging or conversation. And each morning you'll be greeted with a full, deliciously cooked breakfast! For more information or to book a stay, contact us today. Note: A mature English Bulldog is in the house. She does not have access to the second floor where the guest rooms are located, nor does she have the "run of the house".
