Great place for family gathering in Joplin!

We converged from all over the US for our son’s wedding and this was the idea house to hold us all. The owners were very responsive and accommodating. The furnishings nice and that kitchen???? Gorgeous. The younger crowd loved the arcade. Admittedly, the open concept bathrooms were strange. The kitchen counters were a little dirty and we we really wish it had been warmer to enjoy the pool. The parking is great! Overall, we had an amazing stay and would book here again!

Enjoyed the house

Loved the house, enjoyed everything. Just a couple suggestions, 1) having extra towels available for the pool 2) the movie room needs to have streaming available, we don’t have dvds and couldn’t use the movie.

A Perfect Retreat Space That Keeps Our Group Coming Back!**This property has become the cornerstone of our annual student ministry weekend retreat at Ozark Christian College, and for good reason! After staying here two years running, I can confidently say this is one of the best-managed properties we’ve ever experienced.**Location & Space:** The central location is absolutely ideal – close to everything we need while providing a peaceful retreat atmosphere. The layout is perfect for youth groups, with ample space for our entire ministry to spread out comfortably. Whether we’re gathering for meals, small group discussions, or downtime, there’s always room for everyone without feeling cramped.**Responsive & Caring Hosts:** What truly sets this property apart is the exceptional hospitality. On the rare occasion when we’ve encountered any minor issues, the response has been immediate and solution-focused. It’s clear that guest satisfaction is their top priority, and that level of attentiveness means everything when you’re coordinating a group retreat.**The Student Seal of Approval:** Perhaps the best testament to this place? Our students actually look forward to staying here each year – and anyone who works with youth knows that’s high praise! It’s become a beloved part of our annual tradition.We’re already planning our return for next year. Thank you for consistently providing such a welcoming, well-maintained space

Great stay in local piece of history!

We originally lived in Joplin and raised 2 of our 4 children but moved away after the Joplin tornado in May 2011. We were excited to find out upon planning a return trip to the area that we could stay in this storied and well known landmark. Our children loved the train themes. The home is beautiful inside and out with lots of indoor and outdoor space to spread out. Our favorite things were the pool and the huge selection of books and reading materials in the library / study. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment and the hosts were great to deal with. Quick and clear communication and accommodations are top notch. We will definitely stay here again!

Weekend Conference

This house was absolutely stunning. We hosted our spring conference in Joplin Missouri and had eight board members staying in one house. It was more than spacious and had more than enough bathrooms for eight females to comfortably spend three nights without fighting over space or bathrooms. Couldn’t have asked for a more amazing place. Hoping to find a reason to rent again in the future!

Perfect for our occasion

Property was big and accommodating. Everything was easy accept finding it. It is tucked back and a little difficult to find, but it’s a diamond in the rough. I wish we had the history easily available. The charm and historical vibe really had the whole group intrigued. Thank you for sharing your great home with us.
