About this property

Rocky Top Guesthouse on the River

Complete your stay with a magnificent view of the Mississippi River from this private guesthouse sitting high on the bluff. It is located only 1.2 miles from downtown, historic Hannibal where there are restaurants and shops, visitor attractions and parks.

2020 RENOVATIONS include removal of old wallpaper and popcorn ceilings and new paint in living room, kitchen and bathroom which fives the house a much fresher look. The guesthouse has been newly decorated.
870 square feet all to yourself! The bedroom has a NEW king bed and an oscillating fan on the dresser. There is also a queen bed in the living area. A privacy curtain is in place which can provide some separation from the living room. There are stairs leading to the entrance of this house from the parking area. There is a sizable deck with patio table and chairs. There is also a bench for sitting on to watch the barges and river boats go by. There are two lounge chairs on the deck also. A propane gas grill is available for outdoor grilling.

The guest house is separate from the owner’s house and there is no access to the garage area below the guest house.

Great place for a relaxing weekend in Hannibal. Close to downtown but with incredible bluff views. Several Eagles flew by along with a few lazy barges carrying goods. I would definitely recommend.

Celebrated our 58th anniversary in this wonderful space. It really is one of the nicest properties we’ve stayed at…super clean, organized, high quality furnishings, comfortable bed, very quiet, and a magnificent view. Appreciate that owners don’t charge a cleaning fee and guests cooperate by following a few simple rules upon departure. Really a good find!
Wonderful spot for morning coffee and an evening cocktail .
Good spot to eat outdoors, facing north so no hot sun to contend with.

A wonderful place to stay!

I think this is the cleanest place I’ve been to! 15 out of 10 rating. Very nice place to stay and relax. Kick back on the deck and enjoy the incredible view. I’m spoiled now and will never want to stay elsewhere. A great place!!
The view is amazing even in the rain.
