Garth Woodside Mansion Bed and Breakfast Inn and Restaurant
is located in "America's Hometown" of Hannibal,
Missouri nestled on 33 acres of rolling meadows, tall
woodlands, and flowered gardens. 
You will be treated as friends while you enjoy romantic
surroundings and attention to detail. Through graceful arched
doors, you'll glimpse handsomely furnished rooms with the deep
colors of a country sunset. A rich walnut hue highlights
woodwork detail supplied by German craftsman decades ago. Look
ahead and you will capture the magnificence of the "flying
staircase" as it vaults three stories high.
Your spacious bed chamber is a careful selection of fabrics,
materials, and textures blended with one of the finest private
nineteenth-century furniture collections in the Midwest.
Nightshirts for you to wear during your stay are only one of
the charming amenities offered in a timeless spirit of genuine
hospitality. In such nostalgic surroundings, 21st-century
troubles seem to float way.
As fresh as the morning, breakfast announces itself with the
aroma of coffee brewing. Chilled juice, a hot entree,
home-baked muffins, and fruit with a special lemon-laced cream
sauce will delight your palate. After breakfast, you may walk
the grounds, curl up with a good book, or sit on the veranda.
While guests may choose not to vacation further than the
grounds of this country haven, Garth Woodside Mansion is
conveniently located near to all of Hannibal's attractions.
Mark Twain's lovable characters Tom Sawyer, Becky Thatcher,
and Huckleberry Finn and their life on the Mississippi River
are a part of Hannibal's abundant heritage. You can enjoy
Twain's boyhood home, theatres, riverboat rides, caves, and
many sight-seeing tours. Nearby restaurants and shops will
provide efficient and gracious hospitality. |
