Bill and Marge gave us great rooms, great breakfasts, and entertained... More

A place filled with love, friendship and a sense of camaraderie we needed while checking out this city. Their friendly spirit and a friend who... More

While trying to find a B&B in Joplin, I came across the "Bit of Eden" website. (All the other listings, except for one, were no longer active B&Bs.)
