This property was a great place to stay for the week. My wife described it like staying in a museum. The history of the house was very interesting to read about. The quite and rural setting is what we always prefer when we travel. This property was perfect, and if we are ever back in that part of Missouri, this is where we will be staying. Highly recommended.

Our German Christmas at Funk's INN

Funk's Inn was the perfect setting and location for our family to celebrate a themed Christmas with a German flavor. All of us enjoyed the history, the space, the accommodations, the wine, and the setting. Lance was great in helping us create the atmosphere desired. While many great memories were made there, one of my favorite was learning how to play pool with my grandchildren

I like leaving a mark on someone’s interest. Happy to hear ya will do a little research. The civil war museum at JB in St. Louis is a excellent place to visit, the 30 minute movie is so correct. I had read all about Missouri civil war and then visited the museum. I learned so much about how Missouri had such a impact on that era of civil war intervention, and controversial issues.. I hope the museum opens back soon if not already for you to visit. Lance

A unique stay with everthing you could need. Clean and beautiful restored home full of history. I loved the attention to detail spent on making the house comfortable for us, but also the details in the house itself. Everywhere I looked I was able to find intricate details in the home, from light fixtures to door hinges. We will be back.

Creepy but cool! Perfect for a short time with friends or family.

We made it a girls weekend. We had 3 adults stay, but 4 to 5 could stay comfortably. We liked the history behind it and are into a little ghostly possible haunting adventure. The back deck was our favorite hangout. Its centrally located between St. Gen and Festus. Its a beautiful rurral area, but you aren't more thab 30 minutes from restaurants, etc. The owner was very nice and quick to respond and even left us snacks and homemade wine. We enjoyed the riesling!

Historical upgraded well maintained property!!

This place is great place to stay. Clean, well maintained, cozy, well equipped for anything you need while away on vacation. The house has so much history and all the documentation was very interesting. We stayed here because it was close to Festus where we were attending a car show. Had 2 trucks and trailers and had plenty of parking. Grilled out the first night and sit on patio and back porch and hung out. Played pooled and watched Smokey and the bandit on one of the many tvs. Listened to music on our phones through the speakers throughout the house. What a fantastic property. Hope we get the opportunity to stay again in the future.

Large and roomy historic house.

This is an excellent property for stepping back in time. There is tons of room inside to enjoy history and modern relaxation with a TV and pool table. I really enjoyed the details of the restoration of this stone house. Lance, the property owner, is very accommodating and thoughtful. In the kitchen he had provided food for a quick breakfast and snacks, cheese and wine for the evening. He even had time to stop by and talk about the history of the Funk family in the mid 1800s. The setting gives you plenty of room for outdoor games and BBQ dinners. I have told some friends about Funk's Inn and they are booking it for 3 couples. They plan on touring the area of wine vineyards and the historic nearby towns.

Ray, thank you for your nice complements about the Funks Inn. I am happy your stay was so pleasant. You did not have to clean up so much after your stay, the house looked as if you were never there. I hope you can stop again for another stay. We can talk more about history.

Jackson family Thanksgiving at the Funk house

Beautifully restored home that was very interesting and comfortable. Part of our group traveled from Colorado and North Carolina to reunite with Missouri family members. This house provides a wonderful meeting place for sharing meals, memories and fun. We plan to return to the Funk house for future Thanksgiving holidays.

Great experience all around and it made for the perfect getaway weekend. Clean house, a lot of charm, very spacious, lots of essentials and beyond in the kitchen and very reasonably priced. The only hindrance is that it isn't near any stores or gas stations, but I would certainly stay there again.

Fabulous historical home

The house is a wonderfully restored, civil war era house. It has modern amenities (AC/Heat throughout, Wi-Fi, dishwasher, etc.), but they are tastefully incorporated into a house with original finishes and period furniture. If you are coming to Ste. Genevieve for the history, staying here will add to your trip. The owner is very helpful and responsive if you need anything.

About the host

Host profile image
Just personal interests in history, old houses,barns. This property is attached to the farm of 100 acres and our house down the road. It is a reproduction 18c New England house originally built in 1750.

Why they chose this property

Was attached to the farm and the original farm house.

What makes this property unique

All historically correct as to furniture,lighting,to view. The central hall has water colored engraving of civil war views. However it does have modern things like new bedding,bed,bathrooms,heating cooling.
