Admiral Fuqua House - Large downtown Hannibal Home

We had a hiccup the original house we had returned was damaged but we were put into a different house and was accompanied for the change. The only thing was some of the locals were less than desirable. Otherwise was all great!!

Fun Fourth of July Weekend!Perfect location for holiday event!

Nice place to stay convenient to downtown shops.Host was very quick to respond to our needs.

Worked amazing for our entire group while working in Hannibal for the month. Had everything readily available for check in, tons of supplies and fully stocked kitchen. Made for a great home away from home monthly stay for us all . Plenty of room for our entire group.

We had such high hopes for this adventure. I took my mom 76 and her two cousins 71 and 65 on their dream, Mark Twain adventure. We were so looking forward to sitting on the porch and enjoying the beautiful view of the Mississippi river as described on the website. Unfortunately, you can’t do that. You can’t see the Mississippi and the porch is falling in. There were no handrails for them to climb the many steps into the home. The trashcan out front was over running. The grass was grown up in the backyard and would not be comfortable to sit in. The banister was very shaky so I had my reservations about the ladies climbing the stairs, which were filthy. There were holes in the ceiling, large enough for a possum to get in. A main concern was that we found screws and nails all in the floor sticking up, a safety hazard The window units that were in the windows could easily be pushed out from the outside. They didn’t fit in the windows and the holdings on the side just pushed clean out. The bathroom upstairs shower barely trickled water. We called the host that evening to convey our concerns in hopes that we could get a refund and only stay the one night. We were very kind in our conversation, she was not. She told us that we had insulted her and we needed to get out immediately and hug up on my mom. Unfortunately, there was a tornado warning in the area and a horrible thunderstorm. VRBO called us and we left in a downpour of rain. We did receive a full refund thank God.

There was plenty of room, a lot of history and unique character. The only reason i didnt give a 5 star rating was a few things i communicated with the owner. She was very nice about it.

Historic house with lots of space. Very impressed at how clean and organized it was. The owners were great and very clear with communication!

Walking distance to downtown Hannibal, historic feel, clean and well stocked; it was everything we were looking for in a weekend trip headquarters. We highly recommend coffee on the front porch with a view of the river and happy hour in the private backyard. Comfy beds and nice bathrooms too! The hosts are awesome. They made everything about our stay super easy. We look forward to staying here again!

This home had plenty of space and a great deal of character and charm. HVAC is old and we stayed during a heat wave so it was blazing hot and took forever to cool down but that’s what happens when you stay in a historic place. Be prepared for that, if you don’t expect modern amenities you will love it. If you expect modern and new this is not the place for you.

We really enjoyed staying in an old home. It helped us imagine life like Samuel Clemens would have lived it. We were given a helpful restaurant guide as well.
