The Vineyard Mansion was built, in 1890, by the famed architectural firm of Eckel and Mann, for B.R. Vineyard, who was a prominent attorney in St. Joseph, MO. This Romanesque Revival style mansion was divided into apartments in the 1940's and has been meticulously restored to its original use. We are now ready to welcome guests to relax in the splendor of the Gilded Age and share in the unique history of this property. Unlike the typical Bed & Breakfast, what sets us apart is the mission to create a home away from home for our guests. As a guest, you will have a key to the front door and you can come and go as you please. You also have access to the common rooms on the first floor including the foyer, rear parlor, dining room and the kitchen. With kitchen access you can store your left overs in the refrigerator or if you want to make dinner or chocolate chip cookies go ahead...just make enough cookies for us too! Additionally, guests booking now, will benefit from a discounted rate, as we are still restoring some sections of the house. So you will not only get to pocket some savings, you will have the opportunity to see the never ending restorations.

The Vineyard Mansion is located within the Museum Hill Historic District, an area of St. Joseph well-known for its Victorian-era homes and buildings. Walking through the neighborhood, guests can observe beautiful examples of Italianate, Second Empire, Queen Anne, American Foursquare, Tudor Revival, and Bungalow/Craftsman style architecture.
