Rockcliffe Mansion offers a unique Bed and Breakfast stay

The J.J. Cruikshank, Jr. Family lived in this American Castle for nearly 25 years until, in 1924, upon his death, this beautiful mansion was closed and left unoccupied for 43 years. On the verge of being razed three local families bought the house from the remaining Cruikshanks and the restoration process began. Daily-guided tours are given.

The present owner wanted to share what it was like to live in this beautiful home so he opened Hannibal Bed and Breakfast at Rockcliffe Mansion in 2007 for all to enjoy and take a step back in history. This Bed and Breakfast is unlike most in that approximately 80% of the contents in the house are original Cruikshank possessions. Come relive the past at Rockcliffe Mansion. Our guest rooms have been designed with comfort in mind but are still in the style that was popular at the turn of the century.

Enjoy sitting on the grand porch while you watch the Mississippi flow. As you walk through the grand and inviting home you can just imagine what life was like for one of the wealthiest lumber families of the period as you view the house virtually as it was in 1900.

We offer an expanded healthy European style breakfast featuring quality baked goods, fresh seasonal fruit, yogurt and ample accompaniments including our famous complimentary mimosas. Your breakfast is served in the original kitchen of the home or if you prefer in the privacy of your room. Just let us know when booking.

Don't let the economy of time or money prevent you from staying at one of America's Castles. In the same spirit of hospitality offered from its original days by its creator, lumberbaron J.J. Cruikshank, Jr. and his wife, current owner Rick Rose and innkeeper/manager Karen Ruble, invite you to stay at our B&B a second night for just $50 when booking the Gold or Sage Chamber at the regular rate of $179.00 for the first night. That $50 will be donated to the ongoing restoration project for the Gardens of Rockcliffe. So for every night you book and stay at our published rates, you will receive a second night stay complete with another wonderful breakfast and more chocolates on your pillow at night for just $50 total! Come, enjoy!

Complementary wine and cheese plates are provided at check-in.

Enjoy your stay at one of America's castles, Rockcliffe Mansion.
