The wife and I stayed at Garth Mansion March 28-29 in the Dowager Cottage. We have never experienced so many amenities in a B&B. Large hot tub outside, Jetted tub and 11 nozzle shower inside. The Breakfasts were not only tasty but beautifully presented. We have already booked additional dates and can not wait to get back.

I just returned from a 3-day stay at the Garth Mansion. Having stayed at some of the best country houses, chateau, and b & b's worldwide, I find Garth Mansion to be very special. The hospitality of Julie and John makes you feel a rarified guest at a private home rather than a customer. Julie is vivacious and welcoming. And,... More

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Garth Woodside Mansion. I stayed in the Samuel Clemens room, which is where the author Mark Twain stayed when he visited Hannibal. The Garths were childhood friends of his. The house is furnished with antiques throughout, and I was able to check out most of the other rooms, and all were lovely. Most... More

This landmark should be a destination for anyone who wants to pamper their most loved one. The owners have left no detail overlooked, from heated towels in the bathing area, to plush bathrobes, to wine available for a pittance from the Restaraunt associated with the Bed and Breakfast. Breakfast was delivered to our cottage; the fresh berries, yogurt, juice and... More

My wife and I have had the pleasure of staying at Garth on several occasions. Our absolute favorite cottage is the Dowager House. Quietly tucked into the woodside, hot tub on the deck off of the master suite, the most comfortable king size bed ever and the food is always fresh, original and outstanding. Hats off to Julie and John... More

My wife and I took trip to Hannibal for a long weekend to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We stayed at the Garth Woodside Mansion, which was the highlight of the weekend. The proprietors are friendly and hospitable and the property is lovely. We enjoyed our stay and appreciated their kindness and comfortable approach to the whole experience. Th only downside... More

This is our 10th trip to the Garth and we absolutely LOVE it! We get depressed on Sunday when we have to return home. The mansion is gorgeous, the grounds are breathtaking, the views are stunning, the food is phenomenal. But the #1 reason we keep returning is the owners John and Julie. They are unbelieveale friendly, funny and personable.... More

My wife and I stayed here at the Garth Woodside B&B on the return trip from business in Baltimore and a visit to our children and grandchildren living in the east. What a welcome respite, John and Julie are very personable and fantastic hosts, the mansion itself is beautiful and is in the perfect setting, the breakfast was the best... More

Certainly a very nice mansion, beautiful not only on the inside but very exciting to approach at night with its almost theatric lighting. Garth Room was elegant tho bed seemed quite narrow compared to advertised 'grand queen' size. Breakfast rated as among the best we've experienced among other B&B's in our travels. Quirkiness started immediately upon arrival with "Hello, let... More
