We enjoyed this historic property. The accommodations were very comfortable for our group of 3. We felt safe and the location is great if you're going on the prison tour!

Loved the decor! The property was very clean and comfortable. Would recommend staying here if traveling to Jefferson City.
Visiting Jeff City for family and enjoyed the convenience of the Carriage house. It’s a short walk to the capital and restaurants. Very cute decor with an old world charm. Everything was clean and well stocked with towels and linens. The owners were responsive with some minor things that came up, would definitely stay here again!
This property is unique in its old/modern charm. It is cozy yet spacious. It was perfect for our 5 adults. The location was perfect for our little family time together in Jeff City. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your property.
We stopped in as a stop on our KATY trail adventure.
Cute, really original property which worked great for the 3 of us. Had a great dinner a few blocks away
Host was very responsive.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. After a long day biking the Katy Trail from Boonville, it was a perfect place to stay. All of our needs were anticipated. Very thoughtful, thanks.
A very nice and neat home. Loved staying there. The only problem we had was the freezer was only an ice cube maker. Had to eat ice cream immediately (darn!).
Loved the aesthetic! Also appreciated the accuracy of the listing, that the property was very clean and comfortable and that it was a quick drive to Mizzou for graduation. Oh, and the owners were very quick to reply to questions! Thank you!
This property is such a fun place to stay for the weekend. It was exactly as seen in the online photos and clean with easy check in process. The location is nearby the places we planned to visit including the Capitol building. If you have children don’t miss the chance to visit nearby Community Park; an awesome playground unlike any we had visited in other places. Two suggestions for making things a bit easier in the house: hooks (coats near the front door, PJs or towels in bedrooms) and Tupperware or glass jars with lids for leftovers in the kitchen. I hope we can return again to this awesome property.
Stayed at the carriage house on a Mizzou visit weekend when Columbia hotels and properties were completely booked. Staying in Jefferson City was still convenient and a fairly quick drive to campus. Property is beautiful and well maintained - love the modern yet historical feel. Neighborhood was very quiet. Very close to the capitol, however the weekend we were there, it felt almost deserted. Only comments about property: lights in upstairs bedrooms were odd… when one was turned off the other room turned on which gave us a good laugh when going to bed one night. Would have loved waste paper baskets in bedrooms. Property was spotless except for a few items left in fridge drawers when we arrived. Property contact was responsive and helpful through the app for my few questions. Great stay overall, I would stay again.
Our family enjoyed our stay at The Carriage House. The restoration blended the property's historical attributes with modern amenities to create a comfortable, pleasing home away from home. The hosts provided timely communication about the check in and out process so our visit was a joy!
