Museum Hill is by far, the best B&B we have ever stayed in! Beth and John's hospitality definitely exceeded all our expectations. They certainly made our visit one to remember and we WILL be going back. The house and its history is sooo fascinating also! Again, thank you, Beth and John!

You have got to stop at this Bed & Breakfast in St. Joe's. It has the coziest wonderfully decorated rooms preserved in the booming period of the late 1800's and the breakfasts are to die for. They were the best breakfasts I've ever had in my entire life. Both John and Beth are very welcoming and cater to a travelers every need. A must stay for any couple traveling through this beautiful part of our country. Many beautiful historical buildings surround this B & B !!

We stayed here for our 5 year anniversary for three nights, and we were treated to the nines! The breakfasts were spectacular, the hospitality was unrivaled, and the attention to detail blew me away. There was a fully stocked kitchenette with anything you could need (sewing kit, iron, pop, nibbles, asprin, and on and on), a library with games, dvds, and books galore, and even matches in ziplock on the candles outside on the patio for a romantic sunset! I forgot a scarf, Beth lent me one for day. One of the house's owners was the inventor of the Cherry Mash, and she had them in the room upon arrival. Detail, detail, detail. And her peach spice jam is to die for! Thank you, Beth!! Frank and Jennifer

We stayed at this great B&B on the first day of the St Joseph Trails West festival. It was the weekend of our 19th wedding anniversary. What a great B&B! Everything you need is there--just bring a toothbrush, razor, and a change of clothes! But if you forget the toothbrush and razor, I bet the innkeepers, Beth and John, would gladly find you one, no matter what time it is! When we got back from walking around Trails West, they invited us to pull up some chairs and have a glass of wine while we enjoyed the rest of the Trails West concert from the great view on the front lawn of the house. Perfect end to a great day for us! The house is great--save some time to browse through the binder of clippings about the history of the house--it is really an amazing history. There are so many cool period pictures and furniture, there was always something new to see, every time you look. The food is incredible--it's a good thing there's lots of hills in the neighborhood--we were glad to be able walk off all the yummy calories we could not resist consuming... Overall, definately an outstanding B&B! Joe and Julie

If you are looking to really get away from it all, this is the place for you! Beth and John take care of every detail of your stay, from food to toiletries. The breakfast is the best by far I have ever had at any establishment. If you go away hungry, it is your own fault! Beth also is courteous enough to ask about any special dietary requests you may have. There are even snacks and beverages available anytime you wish. The sheets are the most comfortable I have ever had on the road. Every amenity you can think of (and then some!) is provided for you. Wireless internet service, air conditioning, satellite TV, well-stocked library, earplugs (in case your partner snores like mine does!), puzzles, piano, wicker-chair porches, fantastic views...I could go on and on! The decor is tastefully done in Victorian style, which is usually too ornate for my taste, but not so here. Do you get the idea that I had a fantastic time here and highly recommend Museum Hill? Well worth the stay if you are in the Kansas City area!

Our 31st Anniversary was so special thanks to Beth and John Courter, and the lovely Museum HIll B&B. We made a memory at this beautiful St Joe 1885 mansion. Beth and John are so hospitable and do everything to make your stay a special time. The food was incredible. Our room was charming and hearing the stories about the home and its former owners was so much fun. The Cherry Mash connection is one of a kind story, sure to bring a smile.

We had such a good stay at the Museum Hill. Beth and John were such nice people, and they made sure that we were taking care of the entire time! And they also serve a great breakfast! Once I got home I realized that I had thrown away my driver licenses in the trash can....so I called Monday morning asking them to basically dig through the trash to find it. Which they did, Beth called me back letting me know that she found it and I had it in the mail within two days. I will for sure go back and visit!!!

From when I first called to make the reservations I knew this would be a great place to stay. I explained to Beth that we were going to arrive on motorcycles, and she was excited to accept our one night stay. John and Beth met us outside, and gave us use of their driveway to park the bikes, and her dryer (we ran into a good deal of rain on the way)! When we went to dinner, she called the restaurant to make sure we were being taken care of! John and Beth are great people, and both had great senses of humor! Beth and John took care of our group like we were part of their family!

I was hesitant about staying in a Bed and Breakfast for the first time, but all my reservations left me the moment I walked in the front door of Museum Hill! The home is beautiful and Beth and John were wonderful hosts. They make you feel at ease and comfortable. They welcomed us (a group of 4 couples on motorcycles) who arrived on their doorstep sopping wet from having been caught in a rain storm and never batted an eye. They not only recommended a restaurant for dinner, they called the restaurant while we were waiting for our table to make sure they were seating us and taking good care of us. That was above and beyond in our eyes! Breakfast was wonderful as well. There is so much to see and do in St. Joseph that we will be back and of course we will stay at Museum Hill!

A one night experience while doing a visit to Bendictine College in Atchison KS, a short 25 minutes away. We stayed in the Spirit of St. Joseph room which has a incredible view of the City Park. The entire B&B was spectacular, full of little quirks, incredible antiques. Beth is a great host and makes a wonderful breakfast. Has wireless, cable, great snack bar including beer! Perfect room temperature, comfy queen size bed, antique tub. Very relaxing, especially sitting on the front porch listening to a live concert in the civic park just a few blocks down. Walking distance to about 30 mansions. Our heads were on a swivel. We may book a room for 4 years. There were so many great things about the house and the city we need more time to take them all in.

My teenage son and I were vacationing in southern Missouri when I convinced him to come to my hometown, St Joseph. During the trip, I injured my right shoulder and knew I could not drive back. We contacted Beth and she graciously offered a room with a cot for my son. Throughout the night, my arm became worse and I ended up in the Emergency Room. Beth was so kind - she offered her assistance and helped with our late check-out and breakfast. By the way, the breakfast was fantastic! I feel I made a friend with Beth and although I'll probably never get my teenager back to St Joe, I know that when I return, I'll be staying at Museum Hill B & B - with my new friends!

My wife and I have stayed at several B and B's and they were all very good. Museum Hill offers everything they did and lots more! The room was great, the guest kitchen was stocked with snacks, all type of drinks, pretty much anything you wanted...all inclusive! The owner's/innkeepers were very hospitable and I believe, had we not had everything we needed at our disposal, they would have found a way to get what we needed. Breakfast was fantastic! My only regret is that we weren't able to spend more time....I will be back for an evening meal and another weekend someday. If you are going to Saint Joseph, don't waste your money on a hotel where you are a room number. Stay at Museum Hill and see for yourself! John and Judy

I loved it but what I liked more was that my wife loved it. A stocked kitchenette good for an evening beverage and snack was a pleasant surprise. Unlike those hotel refrigerators that inventory everything and charge you for what you take, everything here is complementary. The house has a great history. Be sure to watch the video in the library. St. Joseph, MO is a great destination. Drive, walk, or bike the parkway. Shopping, eating out, sightseeing, they have it all. There are lots of museums including the very creepy Glore Psychiatric Museum. Be sure to find the King Hill overlook for an unbelievable view of the valley. Oh, did I mention that the inventor of the Cherry Mash candy bar lived in the house and that some of that very famous candy will be waiting for you in your room.

My husband found this wonderful place while looking for a place to stay in Saint Joseph. We were returning home to Texas from Green Bay after helping to relocate our daughter, son-in-law and grandchild. To say the least, it was a tiring trip, both physically and emotionally. This was the perfect place to stay! Beth was gracious and helpful in many ways. We ate dinner at a wonderful restaurant that she recommended and then returned to the b&b just to relax. My husband watched basketball while I escaped to the library (with a glass of wine) and browsed through the Courter's wonderful collection of books and videos. The rooms were wonderful - outstanding linens, fresh flowers, and very quiet. Beth prepared a gourmet breakfast that was beyond words. We will be back! Mary Jo from Texas

My husband and I just got back from a stay at the Museum Hill B&B for a weekend away celebrating our wedding anniversary. We showed up an hour after a snowstorm had finally stopped to find John shoveling off the street so we could park our car! We loved staying in the Empire Rose room. It was really cold outside, but our room stayed so nice and cozy with our radiator! We loved the comfy bed. The bathroom was outstanding too. Not only was it stocked with shampoos, conditioners, lotions, bubble baths, soaps, etc. but they were name brand too! No cheap hotel toiletries here! We loved the deep soaker tub. What a relaxing way to end a cold night! Oh, and the guest kitchen! They keep it fully stocked with little snacks, cocoa, tons of teas, beer, water and even brandy! I have to admit we spoiled ourselves a bit. The guest library was nice and cozy. We watched a documentary on Jesse James and their episode of "If Walls Could Talk", but they have a ton of movies to choose from. Beth even offered to let us use a portable DVD player if we wanted to watch a movie in bed. So thoughtful! The breakfast was AMAZING! Beth is a wonderful cook and we thoroughly enjoyed our gourmet breakfast and the other guests who enjoyed it with us. We all agreed this is one of the most hospitable B&Bs you can stay in!

My husband is a bird photographer, and I decided to take him to a famous National Wildlife Refuge in northwestern Missouri. I chose Museum Hill because I wanted someplace nice that was not too far from the bird watching spot. I wish we had had longer to spend there, because the house has a fascinating history and is close to lots of St. Joseph sights. The amenities were wonderful, including a little guest kitchen on the second floor with everything one might need, a library, and great bath goodies.

Museum Hill B&B is a wonderful place for a wedding reception. The owners, Beth and John, went out of their way to ensure that our reception was absolutely beautiful. Since we were married in California, all of the details were handled through phone and email communication. Beth and I worked together (emailed photos of suggestions, decorations, flowers, etc.) to create an atmosphere that was personal, memorable, and timeless. The food was presented beautifully, and tasted great. For the finale, we had four of Beth’s homemade specialty cakes, and our 45 guests raved about each one! The morning after the reception, we had a delicious full gourmet breakfast for twelve. Once again, Beth and John outdid themselves to make our families feel pampered and well fed.

Their genuine and sincere desire to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable, coupled with extraordinay breakfasts and a superb evening dining experience, make this our favorite B&B to date. Service: A personal upstairs guest kitchen with refrigerator, microwave, sink and coffee maker came equipped with complementary snacks (chips, cookies, popcorn, etc) and beverages (bottled water, soft drinks, beer and wine). Menus of local restaurants as well as information about local attractions were provided and the personal comments / recommendations offered were right on target. On days of heavy rain, Beth even provided umbrellas for the day's outing. Meals: Each morning, we were presented with a different and extraordinary breakfast entree. Presentation of each breakfast was superb with a table setting of Royal Albert fine English china. Preparation was wonderful with the breakfast entree being served on a plate, directly from the kitchen to each person at the table. We chose the option, (separate charge), of having John & Beth prepare and serve us a dinner one evening. It was on par with the finest of restaurants. We learned that John had received broad and extensive training in meal preparation during his Navy career. It included preparation of formal meals for Admirals and their guests. He was even sent twice for training with the American Culinary Institute of America. This training was located in the Napa Valley of California. From our experience, John is a superb chef and takes great pride in what he serves. Without a doubt, we look forward to future stays at this B&B. At the end of our stay, we felt this was far and away our best B&B experience and John and Beth made us feel we were family.

I have stayed in plenty of B & B's over the years but none compare to the Museum Hill Bed and Breakfast. John and Beth Courter were the most delightful hosts and their passion and attention to detail is evident everywhere. Loved it, loved it, loved it. I know where I will be staying now every time I take a trip back home!!

My wife and I just returned from a two night stay at the Museum Hill B&B and are pleased to give it an unqualified five-star rating. John and Beth Courter know what they're doing and leave no doubt that the comfort and convenience of the guests is the first and only order of the day. St. Joseph, with all its history, is a city worth seeing, and Museum Hill B&B is there to make the visit complete. You won't be disappointed.

My wife and I were going through St. Joe and discovered this wonderful B & B. It's located in the historic center of the city with a tremendous view overlooking the city hall and the Missouri River. The neighborhood is full of grand old Victorians and it's evident that St. Joe is beginning to appreciate what it has. The Museum Hill B & B is a grand old house with lots of room. We selected one of the smaller rooms to stay in, but there was a large study/library upstairs for our use and all of the downstairs parlors were open as well, so there was plenty of room to relax. Another couple were staying that night. She played guitar and since I had my concertina with me, we shared tunes and had a grand time. We were encouraged to make ourselves at home. Our hosts were extremely helpful. They provided us with lots of information about the city, its history, museums (there are plenty) restaurants, the neighborhood, the house, etc. John is a first rate chef. Breakfast was terrific. We were there on Easter evening when many restaurants weren't serving. John even offered to prepare a meal for us. It was clearly evident they wanted us to have a wonderful stay and we did. We want to return to St. Joe to learn more of its history and this is the place for us.

My wife and I have stayed at the Museum Hill B&B a couple of times and both were great experiences. The historic B&B is beautiful and all the collectibles throughout are truly eye-candy. The view of the downtown from the top of museum hill on a quiet evening is a pleasure. The town of St. Joe has a lot to offer in the way of historic buildings and museums. John is an ex-Navy cook and he sures know how to prepare a really special breakfast. We will definitely stay again whenever we visit St. Joe.

John and Beth are a wonderful host and hostess. They made us feel very welcome. The decor and furnishings are so elegant! The scrumptous breakfast served on fine china was a real treat. The stocked guest kitchen was a treat we've not seen at any other B&B. You will enjoy your stay at Museum Hill!
