This quaint little 100-year-old house had 2 bedrooms 1 bath large kitchen large living room with Dining and laundry area. Located in the great little town Carthage Missouri we enjoyed history of the civil war. lots of antique shops an enjoyed traveling on Route 66. Close to the Precious Moments Chapel ... across the street is the Travel center that has wonderful customer service so you can ask them about what is going on in the town (they also have a penny machine) We did venture down the road about 4 hrs away to the Hallmark Headquarters and museum, visited WWI museum and toured the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City!! All very well worth the tripMany Family restaurants are convenient with great food Definitely a place that makes you feel like your home ... We will return staying at this rental as it fit our needs completely .. Great job to our Host for being so thoughtful in every detail
Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2026
