About this property

Unwind and enjoy the peace of staying on a working farm. This apartment is a newly renovated workshop at the end of our garage filled with the comfort of home and finished with vintage details from the original owners. You may visit with the farm's miniature livestock: goats, donkeys, and cows or wade in the creek or sit outside and look at the stars and listen to the night time noises.

We offer indoor parking for motorcycles.

This little home away from home boasts two bedrooms (one upstairs and one downstairs ) as well as a large sitting area in open concept* and bathroom with tub/shower.
For extra sleeping we have a twin rollaway and queen inflatable mattress. A dining table along with a mini-fridge, toaster oven, microwave, gas BBQ grill will allow you to prepare your own meals or heat up take-out as you wish. A small selection of board games and reading materials are available. In addition, outdoor seating and a hand-made brick fire pit will help you enjoy the beautiful sunsets.
*Please note that open concept in this apartment means that there are no bedroom doors and that the downstairs bedroom is open to the main living area. The bathroom does have a door. There is only a banister on one side of the stairs; the other side is open to the downstairs for about the bottom half of the staircase.

All of the rental is reserved for guests, as well as most of the yard. The owners' home is next door, so there are parts of the yard that are shared. Guests are welcome to take a walk to the barn to see the livestock, but for safety reasons, are asked not to cross fences or doors without one of the owners. You are free to visit the livestock at the fence. Your unpaid guests are welcome to come visit at the rental, but our paid guests MUST check with us before taking them elsewhere on the farm.

We are happy to interact with guests as much or as little as you prefer and will ensure your privacy. We'd love to give you a hands-on experience on the farm and want your stay to be a fun adventure. We do want you to know, though that while they are not invasive, you might hear noises from coyotes at night, chickens and roosters, mooing cows, talking goats and donkeys.

The Holler is set in an ideal location 3 miles from Palmyra, MO, 10 from Hannibal's historic Mark Twain district, and 15 from Quincy, IL. Mark Twain Lake and Wakonda State Park are close by, as is Hannibal Regional Hospital.

What a great place! Highly recommended!

This was a wonderful place to stay. The rental was decorated really nice. It had an open floor plan which we found to be great. There were all kinds off coffee, tea, and hot chocolate pods as well as a full coffeemaker. Most places only have coffee, so since I don't drink coffee, it was a treat to have the tea and hot chocolate as well. The bed was comfortable. The temperature was great and easy to control. There were board games and some reading material - we played dominos one night. There was a big TV with streaming services. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful. She took us on a tour of the farm so we could see the donkeys, goats, and cows. She was very easy to contact and responded to any questions right away. It was pretty close to Hannibal, and we went into town and went on a dinner cruise, saw a Mark Twain play, and hung out in the ice cream parlor. It was very relaxing here. We absolutely loved it and would come back again.

My grandfather bought this farm in 1943, and I’m blessed to live here. We’ve added a second home, changed to hay production and miniature livestock. We love sharing the farm!
