Rocky Top Guesthouse on the River

Wonderful

Rocky Top is wonderful! The view is beautiful and the deck is perfect to enjoy it. The house was immaculately clean with lots of amenities that make guests feel at home and well-cared for. Communication with the host was very easy and thorough. Rocky Top will go on our list of favorite places to stay!

Excellent communication and easy to book!Nice and very clean. Soooo peaceful! Has everything you need for a stay... including a few snacks that were appreciated.Thanks for sharing your amazing view!

We would like to come back and stay longer. It was really nice!

Pet friendly host was very nice. Views were absolutely breathtaking. I hope to visit again

The place was way better than I expected. It was very clean and cozy.

Loved it!

Great little hideway. The view was awesome. Clean as can be.

Great place for a relaxing weekend in Hannibal. Close to downtown but with incredible bluff views. Several Eagles flew by along with a few lazy barges carrying goods. I would definitely recommend.

Beautiful place and views

This peoperty is much better than the pictures on the site!The view is amazing and the house has many personalized additions that made it so nice to stay!

Rocky Top Guesthouse deserves its 10/10 rating. If I could, I’d give it an 11. Excellent communications from the very start. Very pet friendly. Hosts are truly accommodating and provide detailed instructions and suggestions for where to dine, what to do, etc.. Views from the deck are fabulous. I captured a beautiful photo of the sun rising over the Mississippi. EXPECTATIONS EXCEEDED: My wife is very sensitive to perfumes and scents, so the day before arrival we asked if plug-ins and dryer sheets could be removed from the unit. The host went above and beyond and rewashed towels without fabric softener. Highly recommend Rocky Top on the River!

Everything was great - kitchen had everything we needed and lots of spaces too!

Kitchen was nicely arranged. All necessary cooking utensils were supplied.. Host were amazing. Views were fantastic.

As advertised. Beautiful views of river!Well kept rental and very organized.

Great place

Perfection

Celebrated our 58th anniversary in this wonderful space. It really is one of the nicest properties we’ve stayed at…super clean, organized, high quality furnishings, comfortable bed, very quiet, and a magnificent view. Appreciate that owners don’t charge a cleaning fee and guests cooperate by following a few simple rules upon departure. Really a good find!

The stay was way more then I expected. Owners great and the place was perfect. The view from the deck was breath-taking. Cant give enough compliments.

It was just as advertised. Great view overlooking the Mississippi River in a secluded area. The house was very nice, everything we needed, easy to get to and not far from town. I would for sure recommend it to anyone and may go back when it is cooler. A lot of new scents for our adventurous dog.

I think this is the cleanest place I’ve been to! 15 out of 10 rating. Very nice place to stay and relax. Kick back on the deck and enjoy the incredible view. I’m spoiled now and will never want to stay elsewhere. A great place!!

This was such a wonderful place to spend a few days! It was clean, well-stocked, and so incredibly comfortable.

Communicating with Carol prior to our visit was a dream!! As advertised---the private, picturesque location is sheer perfection! The exterior stairs are a little daunting! As presented online--the interior is immaculately clean, comfortable & accommodating---with plenty of plug-ins. It has a fully stocked kitchen, a great dining area, room darkening curtains, & shelving with photo-scrapbooks, games, books, & tourist information!! We loved spending our only evening at this property sitting on the deck---drinking wine & watching all the activity on the river!! Having our hosts Ted & Carol join us for a portion of that evening was icing on the cake!! The large bathroom has a new corner shower that has frosted glass for privacy--just in case there is more than a single person in the bathroom! Both beds were a little firmer than we like, but make sure to check-out the array of extra bedding & assorted pillows in the closet in the bedroom!! On the afternoon of our arrival, we stopped at the visitor's bureau, got a PRIVATE TOUR of Jim's Journey: The Huck Finn Freedom Center & toured the 2-level, inclusive Mark Twain Museum---ALL A MUST SEE!!! Chocolate purchases were made at Chocolaterie Stam! That evening we ate a divine meal at the ecclectic LaBinnah Bistro!!! The following morning we took the 10am tour of the ASTOUNDING Rockcliffe Mansion, followed by the Mark Twain Cave tour. We then ate a picnic lunch outside of the cave area!! WONDERFUL HANNIBAL!!!

We attended the Mark Twain festival and stayed here. It was perfect for what we needed. It was very close to town and even had snacks! We will definitely be back!

From the binoculars to watch the eagles, to the towel to wipe our dog's muddy paws, they thought of everything to make our visit perfect. We haven't had a vacation this relaxing in years. Absolutely beautiful property and view. Amazing hosts.

We had the most wonderful stay at Rocky Top. The property is absolutely perfect for a small family or a couple looking for a romantic getaway. The views are stunning, the atmosphere is peaceful, and the location is in a great spot, just minutes from downtown while also being just far enough out to feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere.We stayed here for our 10th anniversary and couldn’t have been happier. We definitely plan to return.

It was so relaxing and peaceful. I could look at the river all day long. The only thing was the bed was a little hard for me but you can't please everyone. Big bathroom and big shower! Right out side of town and easy to get to. It was a great stay.!

We had a great night relaxing by the river.

The guesthouse is very clean and well thought out. From the board games and books to the emergency numbers on the fridge. They have thought of everything. The bed was super comfortable and they offered extra pillows in the closet. The shower was super nice too!

Beautiful views wonderful well kept home

wonderful place, beautiful views

this place is wonderful, we schedule another visit while there. Owners are the nicest got back to me very quick with any questions .very clean, and wonderful veiw .

My stay was very warm and comfortable!

Spacious, comfortable, clean, felt like home. We enjoyed our stay and especially enjoyed the river views.

We spent two separate nights on our round trip trip from MN to Georgia and loved each stay. You can tell the care that Carol and her husband have for getting their guest house ready for travelers. What I’m referring to is the cleanliness and organization of cabinets and drawers, not to mention the little sign/messages throughout the house making sure you have no problems acclimating yourself to your surroundings. And we appreciated the little gift for return visitors. Highly recommend.

This cabin had everything we needed and wanted for our stay - fully stocked, good communication from owner, comfortable beds, beautiful scenery and quiet location away from the hubbub of town. It's perfectly located for easy access to Hannibal tourist areas and the Mark Twain Cave and parks. Highly recommend!

Rocky Top was excellent. We appreciated the hosts’ attention to detail, including little signs with helpful info throughout the home, a well-organized and rich guest manual, a well-stocked game/book shelf, and plenty of electrical outlets. The view was beautiful, and the house was extremely clean and comfortable. We wished we had booked at least 2 nights instead of only 1.

This property sits high on the bluff next to the Mississippi with a beautiful view of the river. A very quiet & relaxing atmosphere. Really clean with all the amenities you could want. We loved every minute we were there & wished we could stay longer!

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely guesthouse. The accommodations were more than we could have asked for. The view of the Mississippi River from the deck was beautiful and relaxing. The location was not far from old Hannibal where there are a lot of restaurants, shops and tours. We certainly plan on booking another trip when we have more time.

Beautiful place, great location. The attention to detail was excellent. Would definitely stay here when back in the area.
