Overall we had a great visit. Just trying to be honest with the review. There are a ton of stains on the back stairway carpet that look like they could be mold. The bathrooms weren't particularly clean. Wallpaper was peeling in places. It could use a touch up for sure, but we did stay comfortably and enjoyed the town.

Hello Matthew, Thank you for your honest review. I appreciate it. Be assured the house has been inspected for mold and there is none. The dark stains on the back "maid" stairwell carpet are exactly that, stain from staining the woodwork, which does not come out of carpeting. The house still has some renovations to complete and those are in work, such as replacing the stairwell carpeting. So glad you had a comfortable stay at The Yellow Rose.

Cool place!

Lovely older home that's being brought back. Kitchen has great retro features, while having new stove, dishwasher, refrigerator, etc. Like living in your own mansion for a weekend! Close enough to Hannibal and Mark Train Lake to bit more than once. Would love to stay there again; the owner's loving touches are evident everywhere. Very cool space!

Old World charm along the Mississippi

Our family had the best time staying in the Yellow Rose! We loved the restored character and mansion feel. There's room for everyone, 2 pianos, lots of board games, a Wii, and a projector for movies. The kitchen was fitted with modern appliances and the tankless water heater means we never ran out of hot water. Comfortable beds too. The game room upstairs was our favorite spot. Carrie is always a pleasure to talk to and she did a great job communicating. Also her tips for places to go were spot-on. We really enjoyed driving to the top of the cemetery to see the river view and the gravestones from the 1800's. Gambino's makes surprisingly good pasta dishes with oldies playing in the background. Can't wait to go back to the Yellow Rose!

This beautiful, roomy house was ideal for our sister gathering as we honored our eldest sister’s 80th birthday. It provides everything we needed from thick bath towels, comfy beds to spices in the cabinets. The house is clean and relaxing. The main floor suite was perfect for the birthday girl who didn’t need to climb the stairs-although she could have! Beautiful woodwork and hardwood floors throughout. We found Louisiana, Missouri to be a charming little town overlooking the Mississippi River with friendly people and easy access to shopping. Our host was great, quickly responding to any questions or concerns. Highly recommended!
