A wonderfully characterful wooden house on the bluff overlooking the Mississippi. The owner, Neil, is very welcoming and friendly, and has renovated the place to its former glory, with period furniture, china and ornaments and art everywhere. The front porch is a wonderful place to watch the sun setting over the mighty Mississippi. What next? A short walk into the... More

We have stayed in dozens of Bed and Breakfats throughout the U.S. and Canada and Bluff Top has to rank as #1 or 2. The property is beautiful; the owner, Neil, took 16 years to fully restore it. This B&B is located on the highest point on the entire Mississippi River and the view is simply spectacular. Neil is a... More

This is an intimate B&B experience where the owner, Neil, is involved, caring and interested. The home is nicely decorated and a fine example of the period but the star of the show is the view of the river. We enjoyed our stay immensely and highly recommend "The Bluff Top" to all.

Our accommodations (all 3 rooms) we perfect for the 6 of us. We had our own living area with the charming balcony overlooking the mighty... More

The home is beautiful and the owner Neil is very kind. It was wonderful to wake up to the beautiful player piano and the breakfast was wonderful. The location is amazing and the back of the home is as beautiful as the front of the home. Loved all the Christmas decorations.

Your attention to every detail, knowledge of the neighbourhood, the good tips you gave us, the amazing view of the Missisippi. It was an exceptional pleasure to be pampered with breakfast on the porch in true "Southern" style. Many thanks It's not a bluff, Bluff Top... More

Neil! Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality. The hard work you've put into your queen anne is evident. The video I took of your beautiful piano playing, turned out great too. What a marvelous view of what us northerners call the "Muddy Mississippi". Our room was perfect, the bed comfy, and breakfast was something we fully enjoyed as... More

This place is nearly perfect--maybe is perfect. Wonderful old house.lovingly restored by Neil. who is a great host and chef. We loved our room--upstairs with kitchen. Bathroom around the corner through the sunroom but not a problem. Great view from the sunroom balcony. The sunroom is hared with the other upstairs room occupants. The sunsets and the lights on the... More
