About this property

Welcome to the "Blue House on Boone"

Country Cottage home with tons of charm that you cannot get in a Hotel Room !!! Great retreat whether you are in town for a conference, wedding or a just a vacation. Located off historic Main Street and just a couple of doors from Britton House the oldest residence in Lincoln County. Short walk or even shorter drive to The Factory and other wedding venues in our community. Enjoy the Cuivre River State Park or just simply relax in the back yard with nice patio, firepit and dining area.
If you are looking for s ome great afternoon trips to see the surrounding areas, we may suggest Historic Downtown St Charles and Ameristar Casino. Downtown Hannibal offers some great history and some quaint shops and eateries. If you havent been to St Louis, you must see the Gateway Arch, St Louis Zoo, City Museum

Upon arrival, you may pull around to the rear driveway which is located off of Mound Street and has a sign as well.

The Blue House on Boone is an excellent base of activities in Troy. Located right off of Main Street in walking distance to the downtown area and a short drive to all of the Troy area. The house is well appointed, clean and comfortable. The host is kind and worked to make our visit the best.

Loved this place! It had absolutely everything to make our stay feel like home. Every time I thought I needed to go buy something, my kids rummaged through the cabinets and drawers and found it.I was visiting family and they enjoyed the peaceful decor.

About the host

Hosted by Les Ellison

Host profile image
We were born and raised in Troy Missouri and have raised our now grown children, here as well. We love the people and rural atmosphere, yet are still close to "city" activities and amenities.

We are in the real estate and housing industry and have always enjoyed hosting our friends and family, so this seemed a natural progression for our family. We felt strongly from the moment that we found this home to be a great alternative to a Hotel/Motel stay.

Why they chose this property

This property was originally built in the 1930's and has seen and weathered many of changes in it's nearly 100 years. It is just a couple of doors up from Troy's oldest remaining residence, Britton House and the original cabin from Woods Fort. Historic Main Street is continually evolving with small family businesses which is the lifeblood of any small town. There is a sense of Midwestern pride and friendliness that we hope you get to experience.

What makes this property unique

Blue House on Boone has not only great history, but great location. The home retains it's charm and maturity, yet has been updated with the modern touches that today's world demands. The "Factory" is an amazing banquet center and popular wedding venue and is just a short walk away.
