Tom Falling, known as "Chef Tom," is opening Chef Tom's Guest House at 205 W. Wilson St. He's applying for a special use permit with the city. Toni Pettit opened up the Baldwin House, the city's first guest house at 204 E. Kent. St., earlier this year. Falling will live upstairs in the brick home, which was built in 1920. It has eight rooms, including two bedrooms, a full-sized bed, a queen-sized bed and a queen-sized pull out bed. Unlike a bed and breakfast, guests will have a "full run" of the downstairs portion of the home. He plans on charging $120 per night for two people and $15 for additional guests. "This has always been one of my goals to open a hospitality unit," said Falling, who has a bachelors degree in hospitality management, as well as a culinary degree. Falling sold his restaurant at 721 E. Main St. six weeks ago to a "local family," he said. Go to facebook.com/pages/Chef-Toms/157322727685088, or call 815-257-1025 for more information.

Thanks Kyle. That is pretty awesome but I miss his cooking. I noticed on his FB page that there are classmates from the class of "69" that have booked for our reunion.

You can hire him to cook for you, when you stay. He will discuss menu, ahead of time. You can make him and offer on articles in the home. lucky1 it is over on Wilson, before rounding curve. It is stunning.

I believe he said, there is an average of five or six reuions, per year. It is o worth checking it out. Just for the house itself and the work done.
