I knew it would be hard to find hotel rooms for several friends and families, including our own, in Columbia for Mizzou’s graduation so I expanded my search to nearby towns. This charming old home was PERFECT for our group. We had 7 people that arrived at different times and there was PLENTY of space for us. It was a quick trip back and forth to Como (about 25-30 minutes to south side of campus) and traffic was never an issue. We spent most of our time on the front porch and even had dinner at “home” one night vs. going out. The town of Centralia is cute and the local shops were fun to walk to and wander. We especially enjoyed the coffee shop in town and the public gardens at the historic home across the street. I highly recommend this house if you have a large group headed to a big event at UM. Very clean, large spaces and bedrooms, quiet neighborhood - just what we needed to avoid the stress of a big day. Too bad my son graduated and we can’t come back for another graduation! Maybe for a football game as an alumnus! M-I-Z!
(My only minor critique is that, while quaint and period to the house, the claw foot tubs are difficult to get in and out of. We had some seniors with us and they opted for no showers as it was tough to maneuver for them. Maybe the lower level bathroom could be converted to a modern shower. Not a huge deal for us as we have a claw foot in our own old home, but something to consider if your clientele is more senior.)
