The Carriage House

We stayed 4 nights driving 8 hours from southern Arkansas (attending a wedding). The property is exactly as advertised--it is comfortable and pleasant. While we are often greeted by an owner or a property manager when we use vrbo, the instructions we received were fine. We would have liked access to local news, instead of having to stream channels, but we got caught up via our computers. The owners communicated promptly by text, which we appreciated. If we return to Jeff City, we will stay at the Carriage House again!

Charming getaway

Visiting Jeff City for family and enjoyed the convenience of the Carriage house. It’s a short walk to the capital and restaurants. Very cute decor with an old world charm. Everything was clean and well stocked with towels and linens. The owners were responsive with some minor things that came up, would definitely stay here again!
