This elegant 12,000 square foot Civil War era mansion was completed in 1869, and is the ideal place to" take a walk back in time," to a quieter, more gentle time. Relax in the ambience of the Victorian era, take a walk on our seven acres, or cross to the nearby trail for an adventure. In a 1993 NBC documentary on Rivercene, it was described as "one of the most magnificent mansions built during the Civil War." Located between Kansas City and St. Louis, MO at Boonville, Rivercene mansion sits by the Missouri River, and next to the Katy Trail---225 miles to hike or bike. A casino, quaint shops, and the oldest continually-in-service live theatre this side of the Mississippi River are all just across the bridge. A nearby winery offers "tasting", and both casual and elegant dining with a breathtaking view of the Missouri River Valley. The University of Missouri is fifteen minutes away, and our State Capitol is only 45 minutes away. Wind down by experiencing a beutiful sunset, enjoy a whirlpool bath for two in our Nile "honeymoon suite", but look forward to morning, when you will awaken to the aroma of fresh coffee and fresh rolls in the oven--- enjoy our delicious, full breakfast.
