Where do I begin? This building is BEAUTIFUL! We love historical buildings and this has a lot of the original charm and it is in great shape. The big room is BEAUTIFUL! The ceiling is beautiful. I want a home like this. Each bedroom was comfortable and welcoming. The closets were a good size and the home was well stocked with blankets, towels, cleaning supplies, soaps and shampoo, etc. The beds and pillows were comfortable and did not have stains. There were movies, YouTube TV, and a few games. The couch was big and so comfy. We didn't want to leave. My teens were very impressed with the drink and snack bar and ate all the snacks. We also enjoyed walking around downtown and eating at the Mexican restaurant.

The home was incredible! So clean and spacious with everything you could need. We plan to book for a family Christmas very soon & this will be our “usual stay” when we visit the grandkids!

We were attending our daughter's graduation from Northwest Missouri State. It was my husband and I with both of our Mothers and my best friend. This place was absolutely perfect! Everyone was able to have a bedroom and the living area is HUGE! We spent the whole weekend and would have loved to stay longer. Such history in the house and the town square was amazing! Highly recommend El Ray Pappis Mexican restaurant. The tamales were Awesome! Greg was the perfect Host. He had snacks by the coffee bar and also put bottled water in the fridge. We could not have asked for anything more.

Perfect spot! In town for a basketball tournament in St. Joseph. This place was perfect for our family, had everything we needed. Host was accommodating as we needed to extend our stay. Close to everything and town square is so cute. If ever in town again, would definitely stay again!

Beautiful old building, easy walking to shops and restaurants. Lots of sleeping areas to choose from.. beds and bedding were wonderful. Plenty of room indoors for the grand-kids to run around and play. Excellent instructions for TVs, coffee bar was nice and well stocked (although I wish there had been a standard coffee pot to use instead of the Keurig), shampoos and soaps were supplied. Cold waters and snacks also available. Quiet upstairs neighbors and easy parking. Very positive experience, would stay here again!

Good location for activities in Savannah. Only street parking, which was a problem. Large space.

We had only a short stay, but with several people so this met out needs very well. The rooms were spacious and having multiple bathrooms was very accommodating. The communication and check in process was very simple. There was a great welcome basket which was greatly appreciated! It is an old historic building (which I loved) but it did also have a slight musty smell as old buildings often do. I think an air purifier would take care of this. I would definitely stay here again:)

I have stayed here twice and love the cleanliness and friendliness. Location is good and the price is great.

We were traveling with 4 adults and 2 teens and stayed at the property for a quick one night stay. It’s very spacious and worked perfectly for our needs! Everyone was able to hang out in the main area but still able to have separate areas for sleep. Would definitely stay again if we are in the area!

Great place for a weekend getaway. Good location for walking around with restaurants. We went to KC Chiefs training camp day and it was a good location from there. A little noisy with renters staying above, but all in all we would rent again. We enjoyed the Pizza Shoppe within easy walking distance and nice little patio off of the house. Really nice people and really good food.

This amazing historic venue exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely recommend anyone visiting Savannah or St Joseph to reserve this rental. We were in town for a funeral and the host was so accommodating with our needs. Love all the historic details the fact this building has found new life. Very well done.

I met my son and his family in Savannah for a family members wedding. Both of us driving 8+ hours and arriving at different times. This property was perfect! There was plenty of room for my 3-year-old granddaughter to run and play while we were there. The beds were comfy, and they place was so clean and felt very homey. I personally loved the historic nature of it. My son met the neighbors upstairs and they were very nice as well! The kitchen is a bit small, but perfect for a weekend stay. I would definitely recommend and will stay again when I am in the area! Greg is very accommodating and has really thought of everything you could need while staying at his property!

We loved this property and Savanna is a cute little town with a couple of fun places! The place was very comfortable and the teas, coffees, cocoa, and muffins and snacks were great! The owner is great to communicate and make sure everything is ok!! We will stay there again!!

Our family is in Savannah, so it’s great to be able to stay in town rather than in St. Jo. It makes a difference when you’re in a place that’s comfortable and close to family. We enjoyed the historic aspect as well. Thank you!

The property was amazing, and the owner was great. Due to my work, my dates changed twice, but the property owner was beyond amazing. He was very helpful and worked with me on the dates. If you're in the area, this is a must-stay.

This beautiful, historical building has been fully restored and is ready to accommodate many different types of events and gatherings. Very cozy and had plenty of space for everyone to have their own area! The property owners communicated very well and the check-in/out process couldn’t have been easier. 100% recommend & can’t wait to make it back again in the future!

Stayed here to attend Chiefs training camp. Nice little town

Savannah is lucky to have this rental. It's spacious enough for a small gathering, has a great location, gracious host, and the cleaning was top notch.
We appreciated the goodies. It's touches like this that made other just fine rentals I've stayed in seem less than.
The historic building is really a gem and hope the owners keep what remaining orginal features are left and use proper preservation practices (like lime mortar on the brick instead of the slow death of portland) to keep this place the treasure it is.

Perfect for our trip
The property was lovely. We had lots of room to socialize and sleep. It was wonderful to have a full kitchen and a central location for us to gather. It was cheaper than a hotel and far exceeded our needs and expectations.

Great stay!!
Great communication with owner! Lots of space -neat little town! Loved it-my only issue was beds a little too firm-and I think it said breakfast included-??? But did have a great coffee bar-maybe a couple more choices of packaged sweet rolls for breakfast?? I would definitely stay again!!

We loved the gorgeous space and how it fit our family of 7 with ease. Everything was comfy and we danced to ABBA singing along! The pizza joint was delicious. Walking the square was amazing after a 10 he car ride. My kids loved the snacks and tea. We would love the chance to stay again.
