    Very Nice B & B

    March 24, 2013

    My husband and I went with another couple to Carthage, Mo to stay at the Grand Avenue Bed and Breakfast for one night. This B & B is comfortable and inviting. There are numerous stained glass windows throughout the house which are beautiful. The inkeepers, Jeanne and Michael, did everything they could do to make our stay pleasant. The warm cookies that Jeanne gave us the evening we arrived were delicious as was the full breakfast the next morning. When staying at the Grand Avenue B & B there are numerous things to explore in Carthage and neighboring areas, if you do not have an idea of what to explore Jeanne and Michael are quite knowledgeable and informative and can provide ideas. My husband and I would definitely return to the Grand Avenue B & B for future stays.
