Victorian Country Inn B&B LLC

This is a beautiful home on beautiful property! We enjoyed feeding the catfish and walking taking in the surroundings as well! The gazebo and deck were a wonderful touch! The rooms were clean, the decor was well put together. Service was top shelf! They made us feel comfortable and welcome. We will definitely be spreading the word about the Victorian country inn b&b.

My partner booked a two-night stay at the Victorian Country Inn along with a Murder Mystery Dinner package for my birthday last weekend. Barb and Buddy were WONDERFUL hosts, and we had a lovely time. The B&B was spotless, our room (the Starlight Theater) was really neat, and the food was amazing! We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Columbia!

Only my seond time staying in a B&B and it was a wonderful stay. It was a special occasion for me and my daughter. It is her senior year and it was our last year for a high school competition at MIZZOU. We both enjoyed the room, the owners were so friendly and the breakfast was incredible. We also really enjoyed the special touch of homemade cookies whe we arrived. Will highly recommend to others and would return for another visit if in the Columbia area.

My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary, but were limited to one free night. We thought we would try out the Victorian Country Inn and were pleasantly surprised. Wonderful experience!!! The hosts were extremely friendly, full of energy, and the atmosphere was nostalgic and relaxing. Whether a one night stay or an entire weekend, the Victorian Country Inn will exceed your expectations. The amenities include several "packages" to provide the atmosphere of your choice and give you an option to direct the goal of your stay. Full of history and fun, this place is worth a try for anyone who has not yet had the pleasure of doing so.

My husband and I choose to stay at the Victorian Country B&B because we wanted to visit a city we have not visited before for our spring break. We found the online reviews and the inn's YouTube videos of each room to be extremely helpful in deciding where we wanted to stay. What we did not know until we arrived is that the innkeepers are truly one-of-a-kind! We stay at a bed and breakfast as least once a year and only know one other innkeeper that takes time to get to know each guest in the way Barb and Buddy do. We had such a memorable long weekend taking a secret passage to our own personal vintage movie theatre (complete with a wide variety of classic films!), being part of a fun and historical murder mystery (complete with costumes!), and enjoying home prepared hot breakfasts. For a relaxing, unique, and fun getaway, this B&B is for you!

It was our privilege to have you and your husband here at Victorian Country Inn, B&B. We really feel you are part of our family. Both of you did an excellent job acting at the Historical Murder Mystery Dinner Theater. I would love for you two to come back and we will sit down with a cup of tea/coffee and visit about your careers and philosophy & theology. God bless you both as you travel through this life helping others.

Barb & Buddy made our stay just so enjoyable-they were so helpful and kind and gracious. The food was excellent, coffee and tea always available and the entire place was just spotless. The country setting is lovely even in the pre spring season..looking forward to going back later this year to see the place all greened up. Thanks B&B for spoiling Olivia and I and for sharing Harley with us-he's a charmer. Many, many thanks-Sandy S.

We loved our stay, It was like stepping into another time.

This is a beautiful B&B tucked away in the quiet coutryside north of Columbia, MO. The hosts are wonderful people who see to every need of their guests. Warm, freshly baked cookies and coffee/tea/hot chocolate greeted us upon arrival. The Garden Spa Suite was large and spacious with a fabulous shower! There were even chocolates for bedtime. An evening run on the property topped it off, and the trails were very scenic, winding through the woods. We highly recommend a stay at Victorian Country Inn!

This is our second time staying in the Garden Spa room. The comfy bed and soothing green paint color is very relaxing, as well as the multi-head shower. Barbara is beyond kind and tries to accommodate guests' requests as much as possible. The breakfast was delicious and filling. I love the Keurig coffee maker!

I absolutely loved my stay at the Victorian Country Inn! Everything was OUTSTANDING!! The Inn is beautifully done, and each room has a fun theme. The bed was very comfortable, and I got some of the best sleep I've ever had. Ms. Bee and Buddy are wonderful hosts!! They make you feel right at home. I highly recommend the Victorian Country Inn to anyone needing a cozy getaway. Thank you Ms. Bee and Buddy!!

We stayed here for a girls reunion weekend. It was fantastic! Everything was spotless, the food was fantastic, and the owner was so accommodating in every way. We will definitely stay here in the future!

My friends and I had an awesome time this past weekend at the Victorian Country Inn. Ms. B and crew made this a wonderful experience we will remember forever. First, we donned bandanas and then began our journey with a hayride across the open prairie. After being held up by masked gunmen, we arrived at the campsite complete with chuckwagon, campfire and the smell of supper cooking. The cast iron cooking demonstration was very interesting and the food was delicious. The evening ended with a shootout and the masked gunmen were "laid to rest" in a pine box. We once again crossed the prairie...this time under a beautiful star-lit sky. I recommend this and the murder mystery dinner -- you will have an exciting adventure! Thank you Ms. B and Crew, Holly

It was great seeing you again Holly! Thanks for coming out and having a "wild wild midwest" time with us.

I took 18 fun filled guest to the wild west show for my husbands birthday and it was AWESOME!!! We had a terrific time and could not stop complimenting all the actors!! You guys are 2 thumbs up in our book :) Would highly recommend for any parties or gatherings!!!! We will be returning!!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We were so happy that we could help you surprise Tod for his birthday with something out of the ordinary!I am so glad that you all came and we had a blast as well. Come see us again soon for another party or event!

This is a charming bed and breakfast in beautiful farming countryside with simply delicious food and lovely hospitality. Would recommend it and will stay there again if ever in the area.

Took my wife there for her birthday. We were warmly greeted with a small birthday cake and cookies. The room was excellent and the breakfast the next morning was even better !! Barbra was so helpful with directions to places we wanted to go around Columbia. She also does "Old-time" Photos there and that was an absolute blast !! Friendliest atmosphere you could ask for. I would recommend everyone stay here !! And we'll be back !!! Jeff & Diana Kearney

Barb & Buddy were very accommodating to our delayed arrival. The staff was very personable and generous with individual care and attention to us and other guests at the inn. Will tell all my friends!

What a lovely little gem of a B & B! Mrs. B's service was outstanding from the first moment we made our reservation. Her hospitality made us feel immediately at home (along with her well-behaved Westie)! We stayed in the Garden Spa Room and it felt very spa-like. From the luxurious 3 spiket massaging shower heads to the comfy white linens, the room makes you feel privately decadent. Mrs. B regularly checked to make sure our needs were met. She accommodated our early arrival and allowed us to check in the room earlier than planned. She inquired about when we would return in the evening, and asked us to call ahead so she would be sure to have the lights on welcoming us back. And the food for breakfast was delish - mexican soufflé, parsley skillet potatoes, amish apple bread, fresh fruit & yogurt! This place has all the right touches - we felt very at home, as if we were visiting a warm, welcoming relative.

Thank you for your complimentary review We so enjoyed having you here and hope to see you again for quiet rest and relaxation here at Victorian Country Inn. Harley says Thanks for his treat too ! .

Barbara and Buddy Spencer were incredible hosts. They were engaging, welcoming and informative. The decor in the house and cabin was impeccable with dramatic attention to detail. The fish pond and chicken coop were a delight. The breakfast had nice variety and was more than ample. We loved having coffee in our room before going to breakfast. There were handmade soaps and plenty of thick towels. 2 issues were of concern. The cabin which was removed from the house had bugs. Unfortunately, this is where we stayed. There were both the little gray roly poly bugs and big brown water bugs. There was also a spider web hanging from the light fixture with a bug trapped in it. Don't get me wrong. The room itself was clean. It was just the bugs. The second issue was the bedding. The old-time quilt was lovely but the sheets were thin and the pillows were flat and worn. In addition there was a plastic sheet directly under them so any perspiration clung uncomfortably. For a room decorated in such caring detail, the bedding should have been more a priority since sleeping is what you spend the majority of your time in a B&B doing. We would likely stay there again but not in the cozy cabin. Some people have a better tolerance for these things. I just don't like bugs.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for your comments I'm sorry my housekeeper did not attend to the details mentioned. I have since corrected all aforementioned issues. I wish you could have talked to me personally so I could have ammended these issues right away and made the cabin as impecably clean and comfortable as the BnB Thanks again for the constructive criticism and the compliments as well.

Excellent rooms, service, and the best breakfast I've ever tasted! My new wife and I feel blessed that we could spend our wedding night here! Thank you Barb & Buddy!

My husband and I stayed at the Victorian Country Inn B&B in the "Garden Spa" room. It was such a clean, relaxing room and the spa robes are soo comfortable! Our stay was restful, our hostess and host were charming (Barb & Buddy), and breakfast was amazing (the quiche was the best we've ever had... the stuffed Amish pastry was delicious... and the table setting was lovely). We loved all the little details including: visiting with Barb & Buddy, feeding fish, chatting with chickens, seeing the sunset and reviewing roses. We were intrigued as the inn is full of history and there is a "secret passageway." Next stay, we will make sure to order dinner in advance at the inn so we can spend more time at this lovely B&B.

We loved the theme rooms! Mrs. B has quite an imagination & a big "yea!" for her using only local artists & companys! We stayed in the cozy cabin because of my food allergies, (they were having a dinner theatre that night & serving beef) & loved the privacy! Mrs. B made sure that I had food suited to my specifications, for which I'm thankful. But, the very small portions weren't filling enough & they were made the night before & put in the fridge in our room. I understand why this was done (because of my allergies) but wouldv'e been nice if my hubby had gotten a nice big fresh breakfast. All in all we enjoyed ourselves & are planning another stay in the fall.

wonderful B&B. We will be back. great value. very friendly people.

Barb & Ray treated us like family! Loved the whole trip with my wife! Would be back if we can find another deal in the ad sheet!

My husband set this up for our 16 anniversary. I wondered what he had got me into. I had a blast! It was so much fun!! Got to play dress up and have a wonderful time play acting. The food was fabulous the room was beyond fabulous. The people were outstanding. The only thing I wanted was more time to stay. The whole atmosphere was relaxing and fun. Loved everyone there. Thanks for a good fantasy before I went back to reality.

Our first experience with a B&B and we will be back! We were exhausted after a long drive from Chicago and a full day of student orientation and registration for our son at Mizzou. What a great way to end the day and relax in the Sarsaparilla room. Breakfast was great too!

This was our first stay in a B&B. Everything exceeded our expectations! The owners are outstanding, and I would not hesitate to recommend this B&B to anyone.

We had a wonderful time at the Victorian Country Inn. If you ever find yourself in Central Missouri, it's a must-stay. The grounds are beautiful, and the inn is located out in the country.......no noise whatsoever, other than the soothing chirping of the birds. Barb and her team go above and beyond to make sure that you enjoy yourself. We stayed in the Cozy Cabin, and it was immaculate (and cute!), and breakfast is to die for.

This was our first stay in a B&B and we were thoroughly impressed. No details were missed in the decorating of each themed room. The Innkeeper welcomed us and made us feel so at home. We brought our 16 yr old and some of her friends, so we rented all the rooms and they had a really fun night dressing up in the old time clothes and watching a movie in the movie theater. Will for sure be returning to this B&B. Thanks Barbara!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
I am so glad that your daughter and her friends enjoyed their photo shoot and their overnight here at the B&B. They were extremely well behaved and I would welcome you all back any time for more photos and fun in the Starlite Theater! Look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Thanks so much Barb and Buddy for the wonderful weekend. We could not have asked for a better place to stay. The hospitality and food was incredible. We would recommend your place to everyone. We hope some day to return to enjoy more of the activities that you offer. Thanks again.

We loved our stay at the Inn. Barb was very friendly and welcoming, a wonderful hostess. The meals were delicious. We would highly recommend this to all of our friends!

Please disregard the ratings for the room b/c we did not stay on site. We did bring a group of couples for the Murder Mystery Dinner and it was so much fun! The house is amazing, Ms. B was so welcoming and personable. Our group had an outstanding time and will definitely come back! The food was so good, and we loved dressing in costumes! Great value!

Hope to return for an afternoon tea, mystery dinner, and another relaxing stay at this lovely bed and breakfast. Barbara and Buddy were so helpful with our plans to visit the Amish community to the north. They certainly do share the gift of hospitality.

I love staying in bed & breakfasts and was thrilled to find this country inn. Barb accepted my reservation at the last minute, even though I would not arrive until 11pm. I will try to stay here again whenever I travel through Missouri.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Glad you enjoyed your stay the first time and returned a second time on the way back from your family holiday for more good food and hospitality here at Victorian Country Inn.

A comfortable, ornately decorated, and welcoming B&B. "Ms. B" (innkeeper) has a flair for drama and made us feel very much at home. The cinnamon rolls were beyond compare - wish I knew the secret ingredient.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
I love to give a tour through our secret passageways and B&B Many secrets exist and hope you come back for more cinammon rolls and drama or just R&R and good food! Thanks for the kind remarks Ms B

I reserved the Starlite Theater to celebrate my significant other's birthday. We were greated as soon as we pulled up, and taken to our room. The night was so much fun, including a mystery dinner theater. The employees putting on the theater were having such a good time, that is was hard not to feel involved. It was very interactive, and exciting. The food was out of this world. Barb can cook! Dinner and breakfast was the best! The room was very comfortable, private, and beautiful. We also found the hidden passageway to the theater, and watched two movies in the evening after the dinner theater. There was popcorn, and wonderful seats as well as a day bed to lay on to watch the movies. The selection was perfect, and it felt like we had really gotten away for the night, even though we were just a few minutes from home. It was great to be able to give this experience as a birthday gift, and Barb even baked a delicious cake with candles. Couldn't have asked for more. The hosts are so sweet and fun! And the home is beautiful. Lots of hats to try on, which is something I love!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
we all had a blast with the mystery and history double murder dinner theater! It was a pleasure putting together a special Birthday Getaway Do come again! Ms B

We found this place because all of the hotels were booked in Columbia for a Mizzou football game. So glad we did! It's a short drive from Columbia in the countryside - very peaceful setting. I enjoyed sitting by the pond and reading, listening to the fish jump. The stars were beautiful, and so was the sunrise. We liked the Garden Spa Suite - relaxing decor with sage green walls, king bed with soft sheets and real down comforter - amazing! Private bathroom. Shower has extra spa jets. Barbara and Buddy are extremely nice, friendly, and accommodating. Favorite part of breakfast was the fresh fruit compote with fresh pineapple and the Keurig coffee machine with many choices. Felt spoiled. My husband's highest compliment ... he wants to stay there again. They have a little Westie dog that they kept away from guests. They no longer have a cat. We will be back!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for the ultimate compliment that your husband wants to stay here again! We look forward to your next visit and sporting event. Hope to attend next time. We got your sporting scores today and we were very proud of you both. Enjoyed our conversation with you two special people. Thanks for the book you gave us. Very inspirational! God bless you and yours. BnB

Stayed at the Victorian Country Inn. Owner LOVES what she does which is great! Room with secret passage to movie theater was fun but movie seating was uncomfortable. Bed linens were amazing! Breakfast was just ok, which was definitely a disappointment. Do not regret staying there but probably will not return.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Glad you enjoyed the Secret Passage and "Amazing Bed Linens." The Vintage Theater Seats are vintage size but the new futon in the theater is for extra comfort while watching the big screen. Hope you enjoyed the Anniversary Juice Toast at breakfast.

My wife and I, along with our good friends, had the great fortune to stay at Victorian Country Inn! It was nothing short of amazing. Barb has gone the extra mile to make your stay a memorable one. The breakfast was spectacular and the rooms were very clean and well decorated. This is a very fun place to stay and would recommend it to anyone. We also loved the proximity to Columbia. Very centrally located.

Thanks so much for your outstanding review of Victorian Country Inn. I look forward to you and your friends return visit

Thank you Ms. Bee and Buddy! This was my home away from home, and I loved every minute of my stay. The inn is absolutely charming, and Ms. Bee has thought of every detail. It was the perfect vacation and just what I needed.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thanks for such kind words. It was a pleasure having you. Come visit us again soon.

Recently, my daughter and I visited the Victorian Country Inn in Hallsville, MO. for an extended stay. We arrived expecting shelter and breakfast. We left recipients of hospitality and refreshment not only for our outer needs but also for our inner souls. While there, we discovered a piece of nature forever etched in our memories and a peace of spirit and direction that accompanies us as we continue our lives' journeys. We can't wait to re-visit. Thank you Ms. Bee and Buddy!!!!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you two so much for coming to stay with us! We enjoy every minute of it and I hope you did as well. The Duke misses you both and can't wait for your next visit to VCI. God Bless

The B&B was our first. It was a wonderful place to retreat to in the evening after spending a busy day with our daughter visiting the campus and shopping. A great breakfast was awaiting us in the morning to help kick off our day. We highly recommend the Victorian Country Inn and will be staying in more B&Bs.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for the wonderful review. I hope you all can come see us again next time you are visiting Mizzou.

Oh my goodness, what a great time I had. Mrs B was an amazing hostess, nothing was too much bother and she supplied some lovely surprise treats all through my stay. Her home baking was fantastic and I couldn't have wished for better and more varied breakfast food, she really set me up for the day. Mrs B has worked hard at providing accommodation that is steeped in mystic, tradition and interest. Each of her suites has a theme of its own with fantastic stories behind them. The detail is marvellous and I loved hearing about how each was developed. Mrs B has some amazing photographs, she takes many herself. Walking round the welcoming house is an inspiration. Really, you do not want to miss the chance of staying at this place. I simply can't find fault with anything at all. My biggest regret is that when people realise this little gem exists it may not be available when I want to visit again!!! Top class in every way. Thank you so much Mrs B!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thanks so much for the positive compliments Hope to have you back soon. God Bless you.

We had a wonderful stay. Barbara did an exceptional job explaining everything and being a host.

Thank you for your compliments. It was a pleasure having you two at our bed and breakfast. We look forward to your next visit.

The building and facilities were beautiful, and the accessories, draperies, etc fit perfectly with the Victorian theme. I loved the "hidden" bathroom! The secret passage, and room it led to, were delightful and surprising in a new buiiding! The food was amazing - such imagination and perfect touches! I have never before stayed at a B&B, so was particularly pleased with all the amenities that go so far beyond a typical hotel.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
In the last year we have added another guestroom and a country cozy cabin to emphasize the country inn part of our BnB. We are also booking a Valentines Mystert Dinner Theater in Roaring 2o's era. Call or email for more details. Look forward to your return. Thanks so much for your excellent review. Barb (Ms B)

This was our first experience with a Bed & Breakfast stay. We were very impressed with the place in general and the wonderful service we received. Our only disappointment was that we felt we didn't have much time there to actually ENJOY the place with just a one night stay. I believe that a full weekend stay would have been more enjoyable.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you very much for your kind review of our B&B. I am glad that you were pleased with your first experience and the service that you recieved. I look forward to your return for a longer and even more enjoyable visit at the Victorian Country Inn, B&B LLC.

We stayed two nights and enjoyed every minute. The food was great, the room was beautiful and Barb was wonderful with all her stories!!!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for your kind review. I truly enjoy providing a delicious Amish Baked Breakfast &/or Gourmet. Each guest deserves a memorable getaway. Hope to have you all return for more respite at Victorian Country Inn, B&B LLC.

The Victorian Country Inn is a beautiful estate, even in snow covered February. We celebrated our anniversary here and will highly recommend it to all of our friends and family. If you're looking for a quiet, romantic weekend, look no further. The breakfast is served by Mrs. B and her lovely assistant Melody and for comfort and convenience, there is nothing, they forgot. But as Mrs. B will be glad to share with you, if you're looking for a great theme party, tea party, wedding or "whatever" getaway, Mrs. B has tons of ideas to accomodate you with that too. An overall, lovely experience, we plan to return!

I appreciate your wonderful words of praise for our BnB, Tearoom with Theme Parties as well as DaySpa. I hope you will bring your parents here for their anniversary. I look forward to your next visit and weekend getaway,etc.

Our expectations were far exceeded this past this weekend. We were so impressed with all of the attention to detail. It is a must if you are looking for a relaxing weekend.

I appreciate your kind words about my attention to detail. It is part of my Victorian passion not forsaking modern amenities and splendor. I enjoyed your visit and look forward to your return to give you even more hospitality. Warm regards to a special couple that deserves the best from Victorian Country Inn, B&B LLC Come again soon.

We had a wonderful stay at Victorian Country Inn. It was newly remodeled, out in the country and very private, and extremely clean. The innkeeper had thought of everything you could possibly need and was very friendly and accommodating. My favorite thing about staying there was the unbelievable breakfast. GOURMET and delicious. The meat was from grass fed animals, produce from the local farmers, etc. My husband and I loved being out in the country where it was very quiet and you could take walks, feed the animals, etc. There was a large variety of free drinks that were provided, or individual coffee and tea pods in the dining room. The rooms each had a theme and were creatively decorated. The inn was not very far from Columbia, where our daughter goes to Mizzou, and an easy drive and easy to find. Lots of books to read, also, if you just wanted to relax indoors or out.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for your kind words of praise for my Bed and Breakfast. I truly enjoy making each and every stay a positive experience. Hope to see you again and your friends for the next parent's college weekend and/or Homecoming at Mizzou.
