Communicating with Carol prior to our visit was a dream!! As advertised---the private, picturesque location is sheer perfection! The exterior stairs are a little daunting! As presented online--the interior is immaculately clean, comfortable & accommodating---with plenty of plug-ins. It has a fully stocked kitchen, a great dining area, room darkening curtains, & shelving with photo-scrapbooks, games, books, & tourist information!! We loved spending our only evening at this property sitting on the deck---drinking wine & watching all the activity on the river!! Having our hosts Ted & Carol join us for a portion of that evening was "icing on the cake"!! The large bathroom has a "new corner shower" that has "frosted glass" for privacy--just in case there is more than a single person in the bathroom! Both beds were a little "firmer" than we like, but make sure to check-out the array of extra bedding & assorted pillows in the closet in the bedroom!! On the afternoon of our arrival, we stopped at the visitor's bureau, got a PRIVATE TOUR of Jim's Journey: The Huck Finn Freedom Center & toured the 2-level, inclusive Mark Twain Museum---ALL A "MUST SEE"!!! Chocolate purchases were made at Chocolaterie Stam! That evening we ate a "divine meal" at the ecclectic LaBinnah Bistro!!! The following morning we took the 10am tour of the ASTOUNDING Rockcliffe Mansion, followed by the Mark Twain Cave tour. We then ate a picnic lunch outside of the cave area!! WONDERFUL HANNIBAL!!!
