Walking distance to campus and restaurants - and hosts provided restaurant suggestions. Parking (and snow shoveling!) a bonus. Delicious breakfasts. Comfortable bed with extra blankets, pillows, and space heater provided. Movie selections appreciated. Water and soda down the hall. Loved the hot water/tea/chocolate available at night and actually all during a big snow storm. Lots of windows and sunshine. Really... More

We didn't get to spend many hours of leisure since my daughter and I were staying with them during a family emergency. And the next night, even though my wife was with us, we were snowed in and had to find a place. Both days Brian and his wife were there for us. With both discounted prices, and unearned extras...

This bed and breakfast has a wonderful location, right next to campus and in walking distance to the downtown. The rooms are cozy, and the amenities are as described on the website. There is water in the rooms, snacks and sodas available, and (my favorite) mugs and hot water for tea/hot cocoa/cider in the evenings. The breakfasts are absolutely wonderful.... More

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.
