About this property

Restored 1915 Prairie style home located in Hannibal's Maple Avenue Historic District, within walking distance from downtown Hannibal and the Mississippi River.

Cozy yet elegant, this home is perfect for a Family Vacation, Friends Reunion or Romantic Getaway.

Features: Spacious Living Room with wood burning fireplace and built in bookcases; Dining Room that seats 6+ people with serving sideboard and french doors; well-appointed Kitchen with everything you need to make and serve wonderful meals. 3 Upstairs bedrooms are spacious, with carefully selected period furnishings, new plush mattresses, and comfortable fine bedding. We are Pet Friendly for pets who travel well ($75 per pet fee; advance approval is REQUIRED, subject to House Rules). Free WIFI and Roku TV.

The house has many fine details - such as the woodwork in the Living and Dining Rooms, a well crafted staircase, book shelves surrounding the fireplace, a built in ironing board and shoe shine closet, the small library in the cozy "Old Nursery" and the "Away" space in the upstairs hallway framed with windows.

This home is perfect for guests who are seeking an authentic historic home experience. In the home's renovation we have preserved as many original features as possible. These historic features (such as original woodwork, windows, sinks and toilets, tile, hardware, original kitchen countertop etc.) show their age in the form of patina. Our design approach is to be sensitive to the homes past and embrace its authentic historic features. We do not rip everything out and create a modern day home inside. Yet we have many modern amenities in the home, such as Central Air Conditioning (1st floor), WIFI and Roku TV.

Staying here offers you the experience of living in a Prairie Style House, inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's visionary movement of creating homes in harmony with the natural environment that lifts the human spirit.

Beautiful historic home.

This is a lovely old home, beautifully restored. The host was great and the home has everthing you could possibly need. Comfortable beds, kitchen well stocked and nice seating areas. The fireplaces, wood trim and doors are beautiful. Bathrooms have very ornate toilets, sinks and clawfoot tubs. Everything is very clean. It was within walking distance to downtown tourist attractions, shopping and great restaurants. Would highly recommend.

Folk arts festival stay

Charming, classy and cool!

This home has been beautifully restored. We loved all of the original hardwood throughout the home. They have decorated with antique furnishings, decor and even dishes. We felt safe in the home and the neighborhood. It was fun to walk around the area and see other beautiful homes that have been lovingly renovated.

Excellent Prairie School home in Hannibal

Wonderful little home with everything we needed for a 2 night stay! Easy entry. Appreciated communication from the Property Manager including an explanation about their efforts to rehabilitate some historic homes and things to do in Hannibal. We were especially fond of Sodalis Nature Preserve, La Binnah, and Java Jive!

Mini vacation

Anneliesa is a very concientious host. There was an issue with plumbing for a sink and she offered us another location to stay at. We opted to stay in the original rental and she was very good with communicating what was happening with the sink situation. (I.e. Scheduling the plumber). The only suggestions I would make is having some hangers in the bedroom closets and a mirror in the smallest of the three bedrooms. We enjoyed our stay at this location.

Comfortable & Cozy Home in the Middle of Hannibal

We had a wonderful time staying at this house. It was very much as advertised. The neighborhood was quiet and is in the middle of being redone. The house was well-decorated and had a nice atmosphere in keeping with its historic status. We visited with two teens who also enjoyed the home; it reminded us of a place which would be ideal for a small writers' retreat, or even a weekend away to yourself. The furnishings were comfortable, and it was nice to have modern wiring and internet available.
