Vineyard Mansion - Crown Room - 1 Queen Bed

The Vineyard Mansion was built, in 1890, by the famed architectural firm of Eckel and Mann for B. R. Vineyard, a prominent attorney in St. Joseph, MO. Although divided into apartments in the 1940's, this Romanesque Revival style mansion has been meticulously restored back to its original use. We are proud to offer the Crown Room, a unique alternative to a hotel room, offering the privacy and comfort of a home away from home, enveloped in the grandeur and elegance of the Gilded Age.

The cozy Crown Room features original hardwood floors, a queen-size bed, seating area, radiator heat, window air conditioner and use of the hall bathroom. The hall bathroom was specifically designed for the use of this room. No other guests use this bathroom but it may get used on occasion by the host. Additionally, the room is filled with beautiful, antique furnishings, hardware, and treasures, as well as period-appropriate art.

Guests of the Vineyard Mansion enjoy access to the public areas of the main house, including the rear parlor to watch TV, dining room, kitchen and foyer, as well as the gardens/grounds.

Breakfast is self-serve, so feel free to go to the kitchen any time you want. We stock breakfast items and coffee in the food pantry off the kitchen, please help yourself. We stock yogurt, juices, eggs, cheese, almond milk, etc. in the refrigerator so please don’t be shy and help yourself. If you would like to make yourself a special breakfast by-all-means do so. We try to create a home away from home with the way we do things here, so if you want to make dinner or cookies go right ahead.

If you want privacy or interaction we can accommodate both. We are also happy to provide guests with a brief tour and history of the property.

The Vineyard Mansion is located in the Museum Hill Historic District of St Joseph, MO. This neighborhood is full of homes and mansions all built in the late 1800's, with walking tours and the St. Joseph Museum directly across the street.

The Vineyard Mansion is within walking-distance of several restaurants, bars, event centers, historic sites, and museums.

The Vineyard Mansion is 11,000 sq ft of building area. We are still in the process of restoration and are offering room rates at a discounted restoration rate. So if you like to see the work in progress this is the place for you.
