Buck's Cabin

TimRating, 5 stars5 months ago

Buck’s Cabin was most accommodating. The place is a hidden gem and the perfect getaway! I cannot say enough about Matt. He definitely went above and beyond to see that I had everything I needed and more. Talk about going the extra mile!!!!!!!He was definitely the perfect example of midwestern hospitality at its finest. I would definitely recommend Buck’s Cabin and am looking forward to my next stay there.

Ivy Cottage, Charming, English Tudor

SarahRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Highly recommend. The home is gorgeous and very inviting. I would absolutely stay here again. My husband and I brought our four children to visit some family that is local. There is definitely enough space to spread out. We used the kitchen a lot! There is a very close by grocery store we were able to go to. (We weren't able to find a can opener 🤣 but we got around that!) Beds are very comfortable and clean! Loved loved loved the screened in porch. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Apartment in Carthage

Comfy bungalow

BethRating, 5 stars2 days ago

Julie's place was just what we needed for a week in Carthage. The location is great -- right in the middle of town, just a block from the town square/courthouse and from the grocery store. There are a few restaurants, a coffee place, and some cute shops within easy walking distance. The house itself exceeded my expectations. I thought it looked better in person than in the photos. It was very roomy and comfortable for a weeklong stay. All the furniture and appliances are in excellent condition, and it was honestly one of the best-furnished Airbnbs we've stayed at -- just about everything you could need, especially in the kitchen. Lots of thoughtful touches throughout the place. It was great to have a washer and dryer available. And the whole place was squeaky clean! Julie is an excellent communicator and always got back to me promptly when I had a question. She manages the place very professionally. I would most definitely recommend this place and hope to stay here again!

The Fricke Farm

JoRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Everything was perfect at Christy's place. From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. The surroundings were beautiful, the furnishings and decor were lovely, and Christy was responsive and extremely helpful. There was a weather event the day we arrived, and Christy checked in with us frequently to make sure our travel was uninterrupted and that all was in order when we arrived. Truly, we could not have asked for a better experience. Christy recommended Floyds 104 and it was great. We even met Floyd!

Home in Palmyra

Cozy country 2-bedroom home with a view.

BobbyeRating, 5 stars1 month ago

I did not think I’d find a place in Palmyra for my granddaughter’s graduation. This country living home was perfectly for the four of us. My husband felt right at home. The single level of the first floor provided easy navigation for my elderly sister. Sitting on the front porch with a hot cup of coffee listening to the birds and watching the horses graze in the back is a must. It has a wide range of excellent restaurants for a small town. Hannibal was a short drive to visit a slice of history and shopping for the ladies.

A Keurig coffee maker is placed on a wooden cutting board, accompanied by two glass jars with cork lids filled with coffee creamer and sweeteners. A stainless steel travel mug sits adjacent to the coffee machine, placed on a granite countertop with a textured backsplash.
