Charming getaway

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!

Memorable Weekend Get Away

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.

Visiting Mizzou on parents weekend

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.
