Our family wanted a quick getaway while our teenagers were on break. My husband wanted to tour the historic MO State Pen, & I thought, why not, teens would probably be up for it. What I didn't expect was that the B&B had such a fun "prison vibe" to it! Yet, the B&B was cozy & elegant at the same time. We had just the right beds--the boys had the beds in the loft ("juvenile hall") w the stiped linens, and the girls each had their own rooms. My husband & I had the Warden's Quarters. Kristina recommended Prison Brews--perfect place to eat. Lovely home, nice front porch, perfect accommodations.

The Big House was the perfect space to unwind with friends. The decor is fun and informative. Kristina is a great host who stays in touch even during your stay with neat facts about the house. We had a great time.

Where to start! This stay was incredible. we frequently look for places to stay when traveling to see family in Missouri. this was hands down my favorite Air BNB experience. from the beautiful artwork, to the historic feel of the home it was wonderful. we were only a few blocks from the capital which made for a quick and memorable excursion for the kids as well. There are ghost tours nearby as well we missed out on but we will be back for sure.
