![]() Welcome to White Cliff Manor Bed & Breakfast and Gardens. After a long career in the Hospitality Industry I have found owning my own Bed & Breakfast to be a rewarding way to live while enhancing your visit to our area. I enjoy the opportunity to use both my culinary and hotelier experience as they relate to offering you an interesting breakfast menu and a relaxing overnight accommodation. Once I was a visitor like you and after 30 years in the area I know just about every cool thing there is to do around here and there is plenty to do if you know where to look.. I consider myself a contributor to your overall experience and I enjoy sharing what I have learned about our area. In short I am all about being your host. Below are Trip Notes and links to help you get started. Thank you for Visiting! Many talented Artists live in our area and add an esthetic that fits beautifully within our community and enjoyed by all who visit their many galleries in Downtown Ste Genevieve. Here our monthly Art Walk is held on the forth Friday of each month from 6:PM to 9:PM. Most Studios serve wine and cheese and its a great deal of fun to meet and greet the artists while roaming their galleries.

Hiking along the Mississippi River Hills is a different rugged hike with awesome views of natural bluff formations and most spectacularly within the 1700 acre Magnolia Hollow Conservation Area. I have hiked Hickory Canyons, John J. Audubon Trail, Pickle Springs and Hawn. I find them all to be amazingly different and all worthwhile. Cycling along the Great River Road- Hwy 61- is an intriguing adventure linking many of our first settlements along the old Spanish Trace the first road built between St.Louis and New Orleans.
