The Cape Cod style home was built specifically to be a B&B and it shows! The huge wraparound porch had several swinging benches. Walk down to the pond and you'll find another great spot to just sit and swing with your sweetheart. Each of the rooms has it's own private feel and a large attached bathroom. Our upstairs room was very spacious, had two dormer windows and a big champagne soaking tub. There's another room upstairs but with the shared sitting room in between you don't even share a wall, both are very private and quiet. (If you prefer a ground floor room with a big 6 foot shower with double shower heads, there's something wonderful for you here too.) I can't get over the decor, it was so inviting. No attention to detail was spared. Comfy leather couches next to the hearth. Busts of former presidents, paintings of the revolutionary war era, and lots of country rooster touches. Puzzles, books, and games are all right there if you feel the itch to do something other than take in the peaceful countryside or watch a little TV in your room. The lighting was so pretty at night and the dog and cat were waiting outside to greet us. (Don't worry allergy sufferers, they stay outside full time). The hosts were warm and friendly. Mary-Jo is a wonderful cook and breakfast both days was delicious! We highly recommend a stay here!!

Ken and Linda are the perfect hosts and run the inn with great attention to detail, making you feel like family from the moment you enter. We chose to stay in Booneville for a quick get away from the Kansas City area. If you combine it with a trip over to the Arrow Rock Lyceum theater, you've got a perfect little 24 hour trip. The inn is beautiful with four Victorian rooms to choose from and another three French inspired rooms a few doors down. All the rooms have private bathrooms, coffee service, gorgeous furnishings, access to their beautiful gardens, and an incredible breakfast, made by Linda. The Grand Victorian Manor is a true bed & breakfast experience with great amenities, food, service, and hospitality.

I'm the one who doesn't want to sit around in a room but it's so cozy and relaxing here that I don't ever want to leave. My husband and I have traveled to Europe, been on cruises, and been all around the US. The food we receive at Amber House is better than anything we have had anywhere else in our travels. We brag to everyone and tell people they have to stay here! We enjoy speaking with the owners and hearing all their stories. The highlight of this trip (314/3-15, 2021) was the farewell committee headed by their youngest son who is just as friendly and caring as his parents. We can't wait to go back to Amber House. We know we will never be disappointed!!

Back to our B&B - the host does not live on site but is available 24/7 to help if needed. We stayed in the Estate Room which has a bed and twin daybed plus a private bathroom suite. It was SWEET (intentional). The house is beautiful - with original woodwork and flooring. Plus, very, very comfortable. It is located in town with parking on site. Our hostess made an excellent breakfast of French toast, bacon, fried potatoes and watermelon. I was able to self-serve my Keurig coffee in the morning and sit on the front porch to start my day. Definitely stay here! Security? It's Hamilton, MO. Just be sure you lock the outer doors at night PLUS your room has a combination lock on it too. We had no problems at all.

Before booking a room at Shoal Creek B&B, you should be aware that it is not owner-occupied…read more On page 5 of the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services Environmental Regulation and Licensure Unit Governing Lodging Establishments, the definition of "bed and breakfast" states that "the owner must live in or adjacent to the building." The owner, Terri Westover, does not live in or adjacent to the building. This is not disclosed on the B&B's website or in the reservation confirmation emails. Westover sent me an email the day I was to arrive, asking me what time I expected to be there. She advised that she would not be onsite and gave me the front door code. She said she would meet me when she came to serve breakfast the next morning. A nice couple arrived the same time I did. They had not received her email because they had been on the road, and they were surprised that she was not there. She had not informed them about the parking arrangements, so they scouted around for a place to park their RV. Once we got inside and toured the place, it was apparent that no one lives there. The bedrooms are all guest rooms. The refrigerator has only breakfast items. This means that when you reserve a room there, you have no way of knowing if you will be staying there alone, or with people you would rather not be alone with. You don't get to decide if that's an acceptable risk. Westover decides for you. When I was there, the other guests were lovely people. Probably all the guests who stay there are lovely people. But it is purely a matter of luck. Westover doesn't know squat about who is at her front door. All she's interested in is your credit card. She left a Hamilton visitors' guide in a nook, but there was no printed information with instructions in case of an emergency. I did not see lighted fire exit signs or fire extinguishers or smoke detectors. If you need to escape from your room, you'll have to jump from the second floor. Whether she changes the door code in between visitors is anybody's guess. There was no visible security apparatus. Someone would only have to break a ground-floor window to gain access to the house. Westover provides her phone number but she did not leave a list of emergency contacts. The nearest ER is in Cameron, 16 miles away. Anything that happens to the house, or to you or anyone else there during the night, you will have to deal with until Westover can get there, which will not be as fast as if she was there already. Since she is almost certainly in violation of zoning and licensure regulations, it begs the question what her insurance would cover in case of theft, damage to property or injury to someone's person. Whatever. There is something furtive about her lack of transparency. Poor hospitality is the best thing I can call it. She is not trustworthy, which is even worse.
