This expansive 17 total-bedrooms on the property, most have a private ensuite bathrooms. The wrap-around veranda overlooking scenic Missouri countryside is exquisite.

The mansion’s architecture and furnishings remain remarkably authentic, while modern comforts have been seamlessly integrated. Garth Woodside Mansion is not just a home—it’s a living chapter of American history, where every detail whispers the story of friendship, craftsmanship, and literary legacy. Long operated as a high-end bed & breakfast and wedding venue with additional cottages, the Garth Woodside Mansion has earned consistent acclaim for its historic charm, fine dining experiences, and quiet elegance. This is a turn-key hospitality business opportunity with international name recognition. The property could easily transition into a private residence, corporate retreat, family compound, or heritage investment property. This is a rare offering for private ownership —heritage of this caliber seldom becomes available with the additional income from the cottages as well. Serious and qualified buyers are invited to request private showings and access to records, revenue details, and preservation available on request.
