    My wife and I recently decided to take a Fall "see-the-colors" trip and incorporate a bed and breakfast stay as part of the experience. Our choice of White Cliff Manor Bed and Breakfast & Gardens was nothing short of 5-Star. It was truly outstanding. Innkeeper Brian Helms is a detail-oriented person and it shows in his painstaking restoration of the 19th century Louis Schaaf historic home and the level of service that he and his staff provide to guests. A very relaxing touch for guests is coffee served each morning at 7:30. Weather permitting, you can sit on the deck at the rear of the house and enjoy the early morning, while chatting with other guests. And precisely at 8:30 (9 a.m. on weekends) the breakfast bell rings, then you move into the dining room for an exquisite meal like you would find at the finest hotels and restaurants. This is a tribute to Brian's 30-plus years in the hospitality business. Everything is fresh, bought at local markets, and complimented with fresh fruit, according to what is in season. After breakfast, the host shares his extensive knowledge of the area as well as the Schaaf family, which he has researched extensively. The bedrooms are spacious and tastefully decorated, each bearing the name of a Schaaf family member and reflecting some aspect of their personalities. Views from the upstairs balcony and the downstairs front porch are spectacular, as they overlook bluffs on the Mississippi River and neighboring farmlands. The grounds are meticulously maintained and dotted with numerous colorful flowers. Overall, this was a marvelous experience and it vastly exceeded our expectations. We anticipate a return visit next "leaf season."

    We had a quick getaway for our 25th wedding anniversary and were so glad we chose White Cliff Manor. The property is gorgeous and Mr. Helms is a great host. He takes pride in keeping with the history of the home and is very knowledgeable of the area. Breakfast was devine! Hope you give him the opportunity to impress you, too!!

    We just spent one of the most relaxing, entertaining, fun-filled weekend at White Cliff Manor. My husband and I were the only guests on Thursday night and Friday morning Brian told us about the history of the house that is now White Cliff Manor. Anyone visiting will be so grateful that Brian decided to open his beautifully restored home to the public to share with him. His passion for the history of the home and the work he has done is almost unexplainable. The accommodations were exquisite and the surroundings are beautiful. We have definitely found a place to "get away" for a weekend - there will be many more to come. We simply cannot say enough about how great this weekend was for us and the thanks - a BIG thanks - all goes to Brian!!

    Even more than we expected...

    My daughter and I just spent a girls’ time out at White Cliff. We had the best weekend! The photos on the website do not do it justice. Even though I have stayed at several bed and breakfasts, White Cliff is by far much better than the rest. We also had a great time sight-seeing, visiting one of several wine gardens, shopping in the exquisite lace shop in Ste Genevieve and the huge antique mall in St Mary’s. The lush country drive was another unexpected pleasure. Brian is an impeccable host who shares his love of history and his joy for cooking. His breakfasts were our best meals of the trip. I have recommended this experience to several of my friends. Brian has done a brilliant job restoring White Cliff and my daughter and I thank him for our unique and memorable experience.

    We stayed here in May 2010 and rented the entire place for my Aunt's 60th birthday celebration. Brian the Inn Keeper was great. The place was so beautiful and peaceful. We loved every room in the house. It was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. I would recommend this place to anyone. It's tucked away on top of the hill and surrounded by HUGE beautiful trees. We spent a lot of time on the front porch and back deck. Both areas were large enough for our group of 15.
