Garth Woodside Mansion Bed & Breakfast Country Inn

There is always a glow in the faces of couples who have traveled from a far to stay at this award winning inn. This private, Victorian estate is nestled on 39 magnificent acres of rolling meadows, woodlands and flowered gardens. A national "American Home Award" winner and rated "Top Ten Inn" in the midwest, Garth Mansion is memorable for all the right reasons. Some guests come for our stunning architecture with many original furnishings. As our guest you will get a glimpse of upper-class life at the end of the 19th century. You will share the gracious hospitality Samuel Clemens enjoyed upon visiting his friends, the Garths. The same charm, comfort and discreet opulence are still available to you.



Location
Garth Woodside Mansion is located in this charmed town, often hailed as "America's Hometown", Hannibal, Missouri. It has captured the spirit of adventure with Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn, Becky Thatcher, and Mark Twain's stories about life on the Mississippi River.

Accommodations
There are eight large guest rooms, elegantly appointed with Victorian antiques. We have carefully selected fabrics, materials, and textures to blend with one of the finest 19th century furniture collections in the midwest. Charming amenities include nightshirts for you to wear and custom soaps. In such peaceful surroundings, 20th century troubles seem to float away. So come Relax, Rediscover, & Rekindle. Also included are private baths, individual heating & air-conditioning controls, & ceiling fans as well as on-site parking.

For those couples seeking a private hideaway, Abigail�s Secret is waiting for you. It is Hannibal�s most private, most inviting, most intimate and very, very secret hideaway. Filled with delightful surprises like an inviting full canopied queen-sized bed, sunken two-person jacuzzi, two-person shower and much, much more. No one knows where Abigail�s Secret is, but you will be given a map to find its secret location. Open your door. Step outside. You are in the historic district.

Meals
Other guests come to sample our "uncommon" full breakfast, sleep in their very own nightshirt or experience a night in a canopy bed. Early risers often glimpse deer or a red fox from the parlor windows, while sipping coffee in the first light of morning. With the aroma of freshly baked muffins, breakfast announces itself with chilled juice, coffee and teas, fresh fruit with our own special lemon laced cream sauce and a wonderful hot entree.

Amenities
By combining the authenticity of a historic-house museum with the friendly warmth of a Bed and Breakfast Inn, Garth Woodside Mansion offers you a very special experience.
