About this house rental
Recently restored to its former beauty, this Queen Anne Victorian features a grand oak staircase, original hardwood floors & woodwork, stained glass and spacious rooms. Elegant, yet furnished with a view towards simplicity and the comforts of home. Relax on the front porch and back deck: experience an authentic period home in a historic setting and feel a connection to Hannibal's past and local culture. Family Friendly. Pet friendly! Walk to Hannibal's thriving Main Street downtown restaurants, shops, museums or explore the waterfront on the Mississippi River!
The home was built by John Sydney, an employee of a prominent lumber company, in 1892. He chose beautiful woods to adorn his home which you can enjoy to this day! Located on Center Street, in the heart of the Maple Avenue Historic District - which contains a fine collection of 19th and early 20th century homes ranging from simple cottages to palatial mansions. Predominant styles are Italianate, Queen Anne, Second Empire and Colonial Revival.
The main level includes a well stocked Kitchen, gracious Dining Room, Living Room and Parlor, and powder room. A large deck is located off the Kitchen. There are 3 bedrooms upstairs, each with a Queen size bed, and private sink. The upstairs bathroom has a claw foot tub with a tub / shower combination. Second floor washer / dryer.
You are blocks away from Mark Twain's boyhood home, the Mississippi River and the many amenities of downtown Hannibal, the scene of many weekend events. Lots of local shops and local color! Great parks and open spaces are nearby, and opportunities for outdoor recreation. The area is filled with natural beauty ready for exploration.

We pulled up, parked on the street in front of the house and walked up to the porch. Our kids were so excited to stay at this gorgeous house. So were we, actually. We entered the inviting living room and the kids sat down to play chess immediately. We wandered through the house, admiring all of the fabulous woodwork and other time period details. The home was so welcoming and like stepping back in time. We loved it! We showered in the claw-footed tub, did laundry in the washer and dryer and ate ice cream on the private back deck. We loved feeding Morris the cat. This stay was such a memorable part of our trip!

The property was terrific. Close to downtown and points of interest. Kitchen was well appointed with an amazing gas range which made cooking easy. Host was gracious and quick to respond with answers to questions. Beds were so comfortable!!!! Especially the brass bed in the room next door to upstairs restroom. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone wanting a clean and comfortable stay in Hanibal.

A lot of beautiful work has been done on this historic house. (A notebook with some history would be fun.)There was a couple issues. Upon entering we were hit with a very strong.” old house” smell. A ozone machine or plug-in air fresheners would be great. We got a little used to it.Also, the large house was cooled by small window air conditioners. Two downstairs and one in each upstairs bedroom. we were really worried if it would be too hot to sleep. We did ok, but the upstairs hall and bathroom were stifling. There was an issue in the neighborhood and we couldn’t park in front. We had to leave through the small backyard that was totally unkept. We had to be careful not to fall down.There was a couple trash cans there but they had it look like construction stuff them. It was unclear which one was for the city.
