My husband and I travel extensively. We stayed here two nights in late January 2022 on a circuitous route from Indianapolis to Denver. It is one of our top three B&Bs of all time! The Inn is a modernly appointed, restored 1882 building. The spacious building has been designed with several inviting and rather private sitting rooms with fireplaces (no florals or ruffles, men!). We especially appreciated our roomy accommodations on the main level, with Jacuzzi tub, fireplace, high-end linens, and separate entrance. The healthy breakfast, prepared in a serious gourmet kitchen, was served to three separate tables and was of several courses, a reasonable amount, at the time of our choosing (in late January). Two porches (main and upper levels) and books galore provide quiet, outdoor entertainment and intellectual stimulation. There is a grand piano, I suppose for the playing? Afternoon wine and cheese are complimentary and presented by the gracious and personable owner-host, Patrick. Patrick and his wife, Susan, have a penchant for art and history—especially enjoying sharing history of the colorful area. Patrick will gladly give you a tour of the walls’ international artwork. Unfortunately, we did not get to meet his wife as she is one of the hamlet’s physicians. Located near the Mississippi River, downtown Sainte Genevieve is an artsy, walkable village with ample small restaurants and shops. A nearby country drive offers local vineyards for tastings and meals. To complete this genteel village, there is a small, welcoming church with Sunday morning service within walking distance of the Inn. Take a peaceful drive down from I-70 or up from Cape Girard; United States Americana at its best! Will plan future trips around staying here!
