Garth Woodside Mansion B&B

Description

Mark Twain slept here! No, really! In a 1882 letter to his wife, Samuel Clemens wrote that he "spent many nights with John and Helen Garth in their spacious, beautiful home." You, too, can stay in this lovely Victorian mansion, built in 1871 on 36 wooded acres off of New London Road in Hannibal. Guests at this bed and breakfast inn can choose from eight bedrooms, each with a private bath, dine at the house's original walnut table, or lounge in a rocking chair on the breezy veranda. There are three private cottages on the premises, along with a full-service restaurant and bar. For more information, contact the innkeepers at 11069 New London Rd in Hannibal. (573-221-2789)
