About this property

Tastefully restored historic home in quaint town, 20 minute drive to Columbia MO

WOW! What a historic and tastefully restored gem!! From the gleaming, original 1920's hardwood floors to the intricate wood trim and fixtures this home has three wonderful bedrooms complete with a master ensuite bath with jetted tub. The main level also features a guest bedroom and full bath. Need an extra bed? No problem-the couch has a full pull-out bed! The kitchen feels modern and spacious without sacrificing its historic allure. Pots, pans, silverware and seasonings are provided for you in the kitchen, no need to bring a thing! A large upper level has a guest bedroom. You'll enjoy the wrap-around porch that takes advantage of the sizable corner lot. The home sits across the road from the Centralia Public Library, steps away from the Centralia Historical Museum and just a few blocks from the historic downtown. Centralia boasts multiple restaurants, a grocery store, and hosts several festivals each year. Just a short drive from the university town of Columbia (home of the University of Missouri, Stephens College and Columbia College). Whether you're in town visiting family, attending a graduation or here on business, we're sure that The Rollins House Inn will be your home away from home!

There is an All of the bedrooms are comfortable and have Heat And Air units. I think I would like to have more seating in the living room as there is only a couch and one chair. Everything you need is walking distance. The downtown restaurants are a good choice for dinner or lunch. The book and Bean is an awesome place to get coffee or pastries.

We had a wonderful time staying at the Rollins House Inn. It was a beautiful older home, located close to town. It was very clean and had everything we needed. We were there for my Dad's 90th birthday, so this house was perfect for our family to stay at. Betty was a pleasure to work with and very accommodating. Would definitely stay there again!

The house is as advertised and has been decorated very nice. We were only there a short time however it had everything we needed for a couple of days. The porch was wonderful for drinking morning coffee. We hope to stay again for a sister’s weekend.
