Beautiful spacious home
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this home on the river bank. The view was great, the house large enough for our extended family, there was plenty of room to spread out, and it was very clean and updated. We highly recommend it and will keep it in mind for our next visit!

Wonderful and comfortable house
The hosts were easy to contact and communicate with. Flexible, too. Check in was easy. The house is beautiful, they’ve done a great restoration. Nicely equipped, new laundry equipment, nice gas range and good. There was a bbq and smoker available, too (but did not use).
The beds were very comfortable.
The location is great - walk to
Downtown, walk to the river walk. Trotters on the River is a great hang out with the best fried catfish in town (in my limited experience - lol). The house is large, with spaces for all to gather, and space where privacy can be found.
Kitchen utensils are many, not the best quality, but they worked for our purposes. The refrigerator is not as big as a 4 bdrm house might use).
There are pantry foods available, species, etc, but advise checking age, as some were well past expiration date.
Overall, this is a great place for a large family to stay and enjoy all that Atchison and surrounding areas have to offer.

We had a historic adventure through our mothers past. We learned a lot about the rich history of Atchison and some of the infamous hauntings! What a wonderful weekend to explore this charming town nestled between St. Joseph and Weston Missouri. Our accommodations were amazing. The view of the Missouri river was breathtaking. The home is so comfortable and inviting and beautifully decorated. The landscaping is gorgeous.

College friends weekend get together
We LOVED this house! There is a notebook on the table with before and after pictures of the renovation. It is absolutely beautiful! The house is located in a prime location! We sat on the front porch every evening and watched the bright orange full moon rise over the horizon. Many cars drove by to take pictures of the moon. We realized we had the best view in town! Its close to downtown shops and the riverwalk. Bedrooms are very nice and the beds are comfortable. LeeAnn was quick to respond to my messages. I was trying to plan our weekend in Weston but couldnt find a house. Im so glad we stayed here instead. There is a lot of history in Atchison. I highly recommend a weekend trip to visit but you MUST stay at this house.
