Wonderful house and setting! We spent a frigid and snowy weekend at the house and were SO COMFY and relaxed. The view across the river and watching the bald eagles was magical and entertaining. The unit had everything you could want, and extras stocked as well. Super clean, awesome king bed. We rebooked for summer before we left. This will be one of our favorite escapes to visit in the future.

Carol was a gracious hostess. The place was even better than I expected. Very very clean & truly refreshing & relaxing. Close enough to town but yet felt private. I will certainly recommend to others & hope to stay again in the future.

The place was perfection. It's even better than in the photos because photos can't capture the feeling of being in a perfectly clean and well-appointed house on a cliff overlooking the Mississippi River and beyond to the horizon. We had our Doberman Shepherd dog with us who loved fetching sticks in the yard and going on walks down the trail into the woods. Even the landscaping was perfect. Carol, the host, always responded right away to my questions large and small. Here and her husband's home is right next to the guest cottage but the way things are set up you don't see them and vice verse. Hannibal is a super cute town and is nearby. I hope to return soon.

Rocky Top Guesthouse overlooking the Mississippi River is a fantastic rental for 2 or even 4 people. Note the FULL kitchen with many pantry items, even aluminum foil and plastic wrap! What a joy to wake with view of sun rising over the river from your bed! The host, Ted and Carol, are so nice and promptly answer any questions. The location is perfect. It is very quiet and private yet near Hannibal activities. To me, this is the BEST place to stay when visiting Hannibal area. I read many of the reviews before booking this location and they all are accurate!

All the comforts of home and more. This is an absolutely beautiful property and the home is immaculate. We enjoyed the view of the river and watching the river traffic. We were close to shopping and restaurants and took advantage of both. We would recommend this rental without hesitation.

The hosts leave you with so many amenities you don’t expect. We brought our dog and they were very accommodating. The house is better than the pictures. The view is amazing and it really is close to all of the attractions Hannibal has to offer. We never needed anything from them, so we never saw or talked with our hosts. Just one of the best places we ever stayed at. Thank you!

We stayed two nights at the Rocky Top guest house. The house is just a few minutes scenic drive from Hannibal. The homeowners were fantastic communicators. The welcome book, picture books, and little notes left in the house were the perfect welcoming touch and helped make our stay so comfortable. The home was spotlessly clean; the pictures don't do it justice. We will stay here again if we are in the area. The perfect home-base for enjoying all that the Hannibal area has to offer!!

The views are even better than the pictures show. Loved watching the Mississippi river go by as well as the traffic on the river. The birds, large and small were fun - saw an Eagle several times and Cardinals. The proximity to Hannibal is very handy - lots to see and do. Enjoyed the Mark Twain cave, Lover's Leap, Riverside Park, Antique stores. Brick Oven pizza was good! Hope to come back again!

This place has perfect views of the river and railroad track along the bank! It was immaculate and comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. I honestly can't think of anything that would improve this rental. The deck was a favorite spot to gather with our best friends. And even inside you had a great view of the river and nature . We heard and saw many birds and a couple of eagles in flight. And the location to town was perfect, just far enough away but close enough to get to. The steps leading up to the entry and the steep driveway were not an issue. We will definitely return during a different season. This place gets every star possible!

The homeowners have taken an extra step by labeling and noting many things throughout the home that will help the guest with their stay. I absolutely loved all the notes and all the photo albums. It was very clean and comfortable.

We absolutely loved our four days and nights at Rocky Top. The view from the guesthouse at the top of the bluff is amazing - beautiful sunrises and lots of eagles. The weather was a little too chilly for us to make much use of the deck, but it's a perfect outdoor spot in nice weather. The house is clean, comfortable, nicely decorated, and cozy, with all of the necessary furnishings. It's a very convenient location near the cave and a couple of minutes from downtown. Carol is always very quick to reply to any questions.

We cannot say enough good things about our stay here!! The owners were so kind and friendly!! The view was absolutely mesmerizing! This was the cleanest place we've ever stayed at and there are more amenities than we could count! We loved the binoculars there for our use and loved looking through the photo books of the river and of the town of Hannibal. The owners have truly thought of everything their guests could possibly need from an easy self check-in to ample pillows, towels, and little extras everywhere you look! We will be back soon! Thank you so much for everything Carol and Ted!!

Even in winter, this guesthouse is pure loveliness and tranquility. The space is warmly curated and the kitchen is well-equipped. Carol is gracious and communicative. 2 min drive drive from Mark Twain's cave (excellent tour guide and a fun family activity). Highly recommended all around.
