Wanda and Sandy were wonderful and the breakfasts she cooked were huge and delicious...from fresh fruit to farm fresh eggs, a pile of bacon, cinnamon rolls, muffins, toast...it was incredible. Highly recommend this B&B if you're ever in the St James area. And to top it off, my wife got to see her very first cardinal. We were sitting outside on their sun porch the first morning when Sandy's sister made us a wonder breakfast and my wife got to see about 5 cardinals coming to their bird feeder...It was just an all around pleasant stay.

The breakfast in the morning was good with maple bacon, eggs Florentine, yogurt, homemade cinnamon roles and their fresh cheeses from the working dairy right below your room . Some things they could improve on is parking, the room was a little dusty, higher quality bedding and the landscape out-front looked like a work in progress. Check it out, worth the stay!

The fishing is great right off the dock, hot tub on a deck that overlooks the lake. Unobstructed view of the main channel allowing for great boat watching. Breakfast is served on your own table for two right outside your bedroom door. I would recommend this place to anyone. Todd and Shannon are wonderful hosts! I would highly recommend Garden House Bed and Breakfast.

My wife and I stayed here over Memorial Day Weekend in the Rose Room…read more We enjoyed our stay very much! We were greeted by our hostess who was very friendly and warm. When she saw that we had a plug-in vehicle, she let us use the outlet in her private garage so we could charge our vehicle. Since it was our first time at the lake, she was very good about offering up suggestions for places to eat, attractions to see, what to avoid, etc. Her food recommendations were very good. The room was very comfortable. Sheets were outstanding, although the bathroom towels left a little to be desired in comparison. Room was kept clean. The property itself is beautiful and has an outstanding view. Right across the way a popular crab leg joint has recently opened bringing a lot more activity into the small marina. It creates a bit of noise in the evening. My wife and I enjoyed the music, and took a stroll to check it out and enjoyed ourselves. However, if you're not in the mood for that type of thing, it may hamper your experience. Her private dock is an excellent place to lay out and relax since the lake was packed due to the holiday. We used her lounge chairs, opened a bottle of wine, and let the dock rock us to sleep as if we were adrift on the lake. On the second night, she offered us freshly made chocolate dipped strawberries. Her fruit all weekend long was very well selected. The Four Seasons sets off fireworks on Sunday evenings during the summer. The balcony is an excellent spot to view without having to deal with crowds. Breakfast was served on our private patio each morning. She offers 2 courses each day and breakfast was good each day. I've certainly had better meals, but considering it was a full house and she was was serving each room at different times, was consistently good. If it was a breakfast restaurant only, i would return, it just might not be my go to. However paired with the property and hospitality, was a very enjoyable stay.

Briar Rose Inn is amazing! I'm in Jefferson City for the Missouri Bar Exam and strongly recommend…read moreanyone who is here for the same reason stay at Briar Rose instead of some run-of-the-mill hotel. The B&B consists of two suites. I'm in the Federal Suite which includes a bedroom/bath, parlour, dining room, and a kitchen. It's almost bigger than my apartment! In addition to all the comforts of home (plus a homemade breakfast made to order), the B&B comes with Jeanette, a self-described "Innkeeper/Grandma." Jeanette is an incredibly sweet woman who loves her B&B and makes her customers feel very much at home. She even called me after the first day of the bar exam to see how I was doing! This place is great! I don't know if I'll ever come back to Jeff City, but if I do, I'll stay here.

My wife and I just spent three nights at Bass & Baskets…read more In a nutshell - Beautiful location, excellent accommodations, and friendly service at a great price. This is a true Bed & Breakfast, the definition of what one expects when booking this type of vacation. On arrival, we were greeted by the Proprietress, Deb Franko. She showed us where to park and the best way to get down the driveway which is steep, but don't worry - your car will make it - unless you're driving a Corvette or similar sports car - you might have to park at the top. We were shown our quarters, given a brief tour of the premises and all that is offered, then left blissfully to our own devices for the evening. The guest quarters are on the two upper floors, and each has their own common area with comfortable seating where one could melt away a few hours napping or reading a book. Upon entry to the room, the first thing I look for is cleanliness. I am not exaggerating when I say you could literally eat off every surface in the room. I did a thorough inspection with powerful UV lights on everything from the toilet to the bed linens to the seat cushions and found zero evidence of any kind of stains. Not even any residual cleaning liquids, I mean this place is CLEAN from stem to stern. I have NEVER found a cleaner room. Our room had it's own private balcony, and from that top floor the view is really pretty special. The bed is very comfortable, the sheets are extremely high thread count, the pillows are either goose down or the equivalent, and if you must watch TV there is a Roku smart TV over the fireplace. There are cable TV options as well. Water pressure was not the strongest, but it gets nice and hot. I'm guessing you won't get "city" water pressure anywhere out here, simply a fact that is dictated by the location. Available to guests 24 hours a day, there is a large common area on the bottom floor with a well appointed kitchen. A coffee and tea bar are located adjacent to the kitchen, as well as a day head. Deb's freshly baked cookies will be found on the coffee bar, and possibly some other treats. Twining's Teas are featured on the bar, and my wife said the coffee is good (sorry I didn't get the name of the coffee). Various powdered creamers and hot chocolate also there, and in the fridge will be found complimentary soft drinks. Step out the patio door from the bottom floor, and you will find a spacious porch with various kinds of chairs from which you may ponder the universe whilst you survey what feels like your own watery kingdom. Descend the steps to the private floating dock with chaise lounges and a wire frame table with bistro chairs, perfect for having wine and charcuterie while taking in the view. This dock is honestly where I spent most of my idle time - sunset on the lake is a grand sight, as you will see below. I availed myself of the lake's waters on numerous occasions. It quickly became impossible to resist jumping in for a swim, so I did that quite a bit. While sitting there in the morning, large fish are jumping all around. Water is about 20 feet deep at the end of the dock. So you've heard about the bed, now let's talk about breakfast. As you will see in my pictures, which don't really do justice to the food, we were well fed each morning. Our first morning was actually a Sunday, and Deb made French Toast stuffed with cream cheese, covered in fresh fruit. Alongside this were link sausages and a soft-baked egg cup with ham as the "shell". Fresh orange juice, cranberry juice, coffee, tea and water were also served. It was the perfect amount of food, nobody left the table hungry. Second morning was Monday and we were presented soft scrambled eggs over English muffins with hollandaise sauce and ham-wrapped asparagus spears. The side dish to this was fresh fruit drizzled with yogurt and topped with granola. Orange and cranberry juices, along with coffee, tea and water were the standard array of beverages. Again, a perfect sized meal to break the fast. Our third and final breakfast (sorry, no pictures) was a perfectly made quiche (or maybe egg frittata) with cheese, ham, broccoli and who knows what else in there, but it was absolutely delicious. Fresh fruit is ubiquitous here, as are the requisite morning libations. Each night's sleep was quiet and peaceful. While I didn't see a thermostat in the room, it was not an issue as we found the temperature to be perfect for us. We were coming to this area to pick up a new puppy from our friends in Lebanon, about an hour south of the lake. Until this past weekend, I never would have thought of this as a vacation destination. Now it is on the short list of favorite getaways! This time of year was perfect for us because the lake was not busy and it was absolutely serene. We spent some time time touring the grounds of other "resort" properties near the lake - Don't waste your time. Get a room at Bass & Baskets.

The beds are comfortable and the place is kept immaculate. You really get a feel for how it much have been in the 1800s in this home. It has a rich history including the Civil War that Mary will tell you stories about. Furthermore, it's remote, so you won't hear road noise and in the wintertime you can see the Osage River. It's just a wonderful place. Mary is just a wonderful person and she made our wedding just fabulous even when the caterer fell flat on their face. She set everything up when Hy Vee was supposed too. We had a small wedding and stayed at the B&B for 4 days in which Mary just make you feel at home the whole time. There is plenty of parking for a large wedding and it's perfect for that quaint wedding that we had too. I just can't say enough about The Colonel Bolton Home. I'll end by saying that you can use this place as a B&B, Corporate Event, Wedding, or any other larger event as she has a large facility out back. I will guarantee that you will not be disappointed.
