Whiskey Mansion Bed and Breakfast

Hotel itself was great and comfortable but the yard could use a little up keep

My wife and I stayed at this bed and breakfast after our son's graduation at a nearby university. Even though we checked in after 8:00pm the owner was very nice and accommodating. The house is beautiful and was decorated wonderfully. The weather was cold and wet so we did not get a chance to sit out on the wrap around porch but was warm and comfy in the room.

This hotel is very nice, and refreshing from the same old chains. Great historic architecture, super friendly staff and very comfortable room. My only complaint was not having a bathroom within my room I will definately go back.

The lady who greeted us was charming and very helpful. She left in the afternoon & said someone would be there later. We never saw anyone else. During the evening we had problems with our TV and I was unable to locate anyone in the house at all. At 8:30am the following morning there was absolutely no activity in the house or notion of breakfast preparation which was supposed to be served at that time. We ate some bread that was left out for us and left the premesis.

My wife and I were very impressed with the home's condition and decorations. We especially enjoyed the breakfast and visiting with other guests. I believe all of the rooms have private baths and that was a bonus that is not present in some B&Bs. Our room only included a bath tub and we would prefer to have a shower but otherwise our stay was very relaxing. We did dine at the Bad Art Bistro and enjoyed the food but were disappointed that they did not have mussels on Friday when the menu lists them as "Friday Mussels and Pomme Frittes".

We stayed during tournament, we were very rush. We would come back again for spend a relax time.

My husband and I were celebrating our 20th anniversary and planned to have a beach vacation—until my cousin set his wedding date for our anniversary weekend. Not expecting to celebrate our 20th in St. Joe, MO, we decided to at least opt for something more unique and interesting than the chain hotel where the rest of the bridal party was staying. We did some research and found Whiskey Mansion. Far better than a mere "consolation" prize, Whiskey Mansion turned out to be a delightful and romantic get-away. You won't find a better host than the B&B owner, Olin—he is affable, instantly likable, a great concierge, and the breakfasts he provided were delicious. As for the room, we stayed in the "Nursery" and were very comfortable. Our tub didn't have a hand wand—so be advised if you choose that room that you're taking a bath only. The home is from the 1800s, so expect to hear some creaking floors and random ambient noise. I ranked the surrounding neighborhood at a 3 because it seems a little sketchy, but we never felt really at risk. The homes surrounding Whiskey Mansion are beautiful and if the urban renewal continues to revitalize downtown St. Joe, the potential for this area seems limitless. If you're looking for a comfortable, pleasant, and unique place to stay in St. Joe, stay at Whiskey Mansion! We are very glad we did.

The Whiskey Mansion Bed and Breakfast was magnificent, with all the architectural charm of days gone by. My daughter and I felt as if we had stepped back in time, and we were thrilled when we were handed a skeleton key for our room. What a unique touch. Each morning we got to wake up to the sun streaming through the elegant white lace curtains in our room. The main floor was decorated in fun Halloween decor and soft music reminiscent of the era played as guests came and went. Breakfast was served from 7 to 10 am. Guests were all served the same thing from the selected menu of the day. Our only complaint is that we did not know what to expect the first morning as we sat waiting and wondering if we would get a menu or if we would be served. But when they did bring the breakfast out it was wonderful, and we finally understood what was going on. Overall, this bed and breakfast was wonderful and I would recommend it to anyone.

Lovely old Victorian that has been restored. The owner was wonderful, the accommodation fine, and the breakfast yummy. Close to downtown and the museums.
