Shoal Creek Bed and Breakfast

ome join us in "Small Town America" for a quiet get-a-way, a step back in time, or a stopping point in the center of an historic area. Whatever your reason for staying, you will find it a peaceful break in your traveling schedule.

Located in Hamilton, Missouri, boyhood home of J.C. Penney, this stately 1904 home boasts a beautiful oak staircase, lovely antiques and woodwork throughout, and three bright, spacious guest rooms.You can hide away or mingle and visit downstairs in our lovely Parlour.

The Estate Room has a luxurious queen size cannonball bed and a twin bed. The large adjoining bathroom offers an antique clawfoot tub if you're in the mood for a bubble bath or a modern corner shower.

The Garden Room has a lovely "grandmother's cottage" theme with inlaid wood floor and queen size brass bed.

The Cottage Room has a more rustic flavor with a huge four poster bed and dark hardwood floor. These two rooms share a bathroom down the hall.

In the morning enjoy a delicious full breakfast that will consist of such favorites as homemade cinnamon or orange rolls, stuffed blueberry french toast, Spanish omelet, and fresh fruit.

While your're in the area, visit the J.C. Penney Museum as well as his boyhood home. Enjoy browsing through antique shops in town and have lunch at the Harper House Tea Room across the street. Within a short drive are Far West, Haun's Mill, Adam-ondi-Ahman, and Liberty Jail. Also, visit Jamesport, the largest Amish community outside of Pennsylvania. Enjoy its bakeries and its many fine antique and craft shops.

We look forward to meeting you.
