Top Hotels Near Franklin Park in Chariton

"I’ve stayed at a number of vintage roadside motels and the majority are rundown and showing their age. Not the Royal Rest however! It was wonderfully maintained, cozy, and stylish and I’d definitely stay here again if I ever come back to the area."

"If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful, nature filled get away, this is a perfect choice. The front porch provides a beautiful view of the river side of Lake Rathbun. The sky is full of birds, pelicans, and breathtaking sunrises and sunsets...along with hummingbirds that fly right up on the porch with you. It's a simple charming atmosphere, peaceful, relaxing and just minutes away from the boat ramp. A hidden gem, highly recommend."

"I only got three days for my vacation this year and really wanted something different. This little cottage is truly a solitary getaway - and yet, in the midst of a working farm!! It is brand new and set up for every convenience. The sourdough bread and farm-fresh eggs were such a great extra and SO good!! We were blessed with a spectacular sunset (pretty sure that was not included in the extras) and the weather cooperated for a memorable stay. The roosters greeted the morning but were far enough away that they didn't intrude on sleep. The stars were very visible and the campfire, right out front of the cabin, allowed us to watch them come out on a chilly evening. When the far off coyotes started dueling from two different locations, I got tingles! I would recommend this cottage to couples and small families. The main bed is just a double and I found myself wanting to climb the ladder to tuck into the twin beds in the loft. Alas, at my 60+ years, I might get up and not be able to return to the main floor. The farm also offered organic beef but I forgot to buy some before we headed home. Milo and Indianola have eclectic eateries (check out BOTH ice cream shops in Indianola!! Goat's Milk and Roasted Cherry ice cream - SO MANY CHERRIES!! We hope to return some day with more time to enjoy the farm."
