Unbelievable property and historic icon of our country. This building is truly a mansion. The detail that was put into building this is just well over the top. Warren & Juan, the owner/operator innkeepers are just amazing people and have the same eye for detail and truly have a labor of love with this building. The building and property is so well taken care of and clean. They have the passion to restore things to as they were originally created. Again the attention to detail and the love these two put into the place overwhelms me and it shows on the tour and the bed & breakfast. When you spend the night here, you are truly spending the night in a museum. Something not much of us can say we have done. So please take the tour or better yet spend the night. But as their website says, take the tour right before you check in. Definitely added to our experience. So when you visit Hannibal and all the things it has to offer down by the river, don't forget to go to the top of the hill and go see the Rockcliffe Mansion. The property and the innkeepers will not disappoint!!

As a nice diversion to the craziness of life - we made the effort to drive from Indiana to Hannibal MO to see the boyhood home and inspiration for Samuel Clements “Mark Twain”’s Huckleberry Finn Adventures. We are so glad we did! ???? We had a wonderful time. So much to see and do. It took us about 2 hours to see the various sights, houses, displays and interactive exhibits. It’s definitely an amazing reflection on the challenges our country had during the 1850’s - 1860’s. The issues of slavery, treatment of those in poverty and the expectations and experiences of those from refined lifestyles. We learned so much about Mark Twain - that by the time we left - we felt like we had spent and afternoon sitting on his porch and laughing and philosophizing with him. There are some great deals available on GROUPON for discounts on tickets. Otherwise - expect to pay about $15/person. All tours and displays are COVID safe. Masks are recommended as well as social distancing. As in the words of Mark Twain: “Always do what is right. It will gratify half of mankind and astound the other.” Have a great time ????
3. Mark Twain Cave and Cameron Cave

Enjoyed our tour of this historic cave that was a favorite site for Samuel Clemens as a boy. Our tour guide Alex was both very informative and funny; he debunked some myths about the cave and has a genuine interest in its history. The walk of about 5/8ths of a mile was easy and generally quite level with a few slopes that have handrails. You will make multiple brief stops at a variety of sites. Passageways are narrow in spots. There are many open passageways off the main path, so I would recommend not taking any children under 5. You should wear a jacket or sweatshirt; the cave was 52 degrees the day we went.

My husband and I came across Cave Hollow West Winery south of Hannibal on a recent visit to the area. Bailey made several suggestions for wine we might enjoy tasting. We enjoyed a glass of wine and came back the following day for a bottle of something else we had tasted to take back home. Bailey was very welcoming and answered our questions about the winery.
