We had a great experience and found the hosts to be very gracious and helpful. We had no problems with our late arrival and found the B&B with ease thanks to the direction posted by the hosts on their website. The breakfasts were all excellent as was the company of the other guests. We were within walking distance of the... More

There are good bed and breakfast locations and there are wonderful bed and breakfast venues. This one is a wonderful B&B. You are only 5 blocks from the center of Columbia, so walking to dinner was extremely doable. Your hosts are happy to see you. Since Brian works from home, he's able to accommodate early arrivals, and it's understandable that... More

I had a very good three-night stay here recently. I was alone, on business at the university, which is just a half block's walk away. Lovely house, lovely room, hospitable owners. Very nice breakfasts in the morning (particularly the pumpkin pancakes). The small TV in the room didn't work very well -- the picture kept pixulating, and navigating the satellite-TV... More

Edward, Thank you for the feedback about the TV in the guest room. After doing some research, we found that an amplified TV antenna would take care of the problem with a fuzzy picture. We have installed one such antenna in that room and will also put them in the other 3 guest rooms. More

Polite, gracious hosts. Not-overbearing which for me, is perfect. Excellent breakfasts and a clean room. Hosts also went out of their way to prepare food and coffee for a very early (5 am) departure, and offered to help me find a place to live in Columbia. All in all, a pleasant 4 days spent at this B&B, and would definitely... More

I arrived 20 minutes early for a 4pm check-in. I was met at the door by Brian, who didn't say hello, but "your early" as he led me to the front hall, all the time grumbling that I was early and interfering with his webinar. I offered to leave...seriously leave, as I felt completely uncomfortable as I stood in the... More

As co-owner, I want to respond to the guest who wrote this review and to comment about what the facts really are. First- This guest who had a check in time of 4:00PM arrived 35 minutes early, not the 20 minutes as they stated. She even acknowledged her early arrival when she looked at her own watch at one point... More

I graduated in 2004 from Mizzou. Every time I've been back since, I've stayed at The Regency b/c it was walking distance to everything. It's gross and overpriced, but we all do it because of it's location. Well, I couldn't do it any longer, so I decided to try out this B&B that I used to always drive by when... More

I found the University Ave, B&B to be everything it was advertised as. Mizzou and downtown Columbia easy to get to on foot. The food was delicious,portions ample. While the room was dated, it was very clean and comfortable. I felt like I got a good value for my dollar. I wish Kathy and Brian the best. More

We knew when we entered from the pouring rain that things were not as we were led to believe from the printed description. Quaint and full of antiques really meant musty and worn out. The innkeepers made us feel like intruders, not welcome guests. Hospitality was lacking, as was the air-conditioning on the second floor. No consideration of our request... More

My partner & I were looking for a nice B&B close to the university, to stay in for a few days while we helped my son relocate to Columbia for graduate school. According to my research, this area of Missouri is known for its wineries, so we planned to stick around and sample some of the local specialties. The University... More

My response to the Trip Advisor review on July 23rd 2007- I hope I can make this very clear to all travelers. Keeping in mind that most B&B’s are private homes and the innkeepers live there; understanding their policies is very important before you as a guest should finalize a reservation with a B&B. All of our policies are outlined... More

For the $100 we spent to stay here, this place was definitely not worth the money. Although Columbia doesn't have much--or anything-- to offer in the way of high-end hotel accommodations, this B & B doesn't do anything to fill the gap. The room was simple and kitschy, as many faux 'antiquey' bed and breakfasts are. The proprietors were accommodating,... More

My comments about the Trip Advisor review on April 27th 2007- In the response to this guest, and I’m referencing their comment about having to check out early on Sunday, we had no idea we would later become victims of bigotry comments towards us because we are Christians and would like to be able to attend church, preferably on time....
