Location:

Amber House is in the quaint Missouri River town of Rocheport (population 200), just two miles off I-70, halfway between Kansas City and St. Louis. Columbia (population 100,000), a vibrant university community, is just 12 miles to the west.

Named “One of the 10 Coolest Small Towns in America” by Frommers' Budget Travel, Rocheport is a popular getaway destination. Each year some 350,000 hikers and bikers pass by on the Katy Trail, just two blocks from the inn. Les Bourgeois, one of Missouri's most popular wineries, is just up the road. Several excellent shops and galleries are within strolling distance.

The Inn:

Amber House was purpose-built in 2005 as a luxury bed-and-breakfast inn. Perfect for a couple or individual to own and operate. (Don't accept the conventional wisdom that five or six room are needed for a financially viable inn—occupancy and average daily rate are just as important.) In addition to room revnues, the Inn also generates ever-increasing revenue from special events

Expansion opportunities are available, if desired. An adjacent lot is available for sale, and there is the potential for a stand-alone cottage.
