Inn Details


Photo Album

Winter at the Garth Mansion is wonderful. Decked out in full Victorian style.  Very cozy with so many rooms offering fireplaces. Look close! That's right, this is Tom Sawyer and Becky Thatcher visiting the Garth Mansion.  You just might see them on your visit here. The Rosewood Room has thee most expensive bed in the state of Missouri you can sleep in. Circa 1869 and made of Rosewood and hand carved black walnut you will fall asleep before your head hits the pillow. Bathroom features the original clawfoot tub added in 1900. Samuel Clemens Room.  Yes, he actually slept here EVERY time he came to Hannibal after moving away when he was 18. Being such close friends with Col. and Mrs. Garth it is only fitting he had his own guest room. Queen sized half-tester, private bath. Ahh, Avie's Room.  One of the favorites! The soft blues, queen canopied bed, 10 foot windows, even a fireplace to flicker all over the room when you are all cozied up on the feather bed.  Hard to get any better than this.
