Award-Winning B&B: Inn On Crescent Lake · Hospitality Property For Sale · 8,800 SF

Location, strong financials, and a superb country retreat lifestyle await the new owners of the Inn on Crescent Lake. This elegant historic property has been selected as one of the top 10 inns in both Kansas City and Missouri and is a Trip Advisor Hall of Fame member, built on a strong reputation shaped by hundreds of outstanding customer reviews. Positioned as “Missouri’s Most Romantic Getaway,” the Inn offers the perfect setting for romantic getaways, weddings, and honeymoons, as well as corporate retreats, family reunions, and events. The stately 1915 Georgian Colonial mansion sits on 22 acres and is surrounded by two crescent-shaped ponds, historically known as Crescent Lake. There is a courtyard with patio, gazebo, and gardens. Enjoy the outdoors in the seven-person hot tub beside the full-size in-ground swimming pool, or lounge in the two-person hammock. For those who prefer more activity, fishing the well-stocked lake is an option, as is cruising the waters in two paddle boats, a small fishing boat, or a rowboat. A developed walking path that circles the eastern portion of the property is perfect for an interlude with nature. The main grounds surrounding the Inn feature majestic pine trees that soar nearly 150 feet high, and the lake is accented by a fountain. The Inn’s 10 luxurious rooms and suites are uniquely decorated and feature all modern amenities and private bathrooms, most with whirlpool tubs. All have individual climate controls. Six of the 10 sleeping rooms have been redecorated within the last eight years, with electronic fireplaces and mini-fridges in the suites. There are three buildings: the mansion itself, the Cottage, and Pool House. A private spa room in the pool house creates an additional revenue stream through the spa services offered. There are three spacious common rooms in the mansion, including a sun-filled solarium, an over-sized living room with fireplace, and dining room. The kitchen is a licensed restaurant kitchen with a commercial stove, hood, reach-in refrigerator, stainless countertops, ice machine, and newly-installed Hobart dishwasher. All new plumbing, electrical, hot water heaters, zoned gas heating and central air conditioning were installed during the Inn renovation. This is an exceptional turnkey opportunity to own a highly profitable and historic Inn. Financials are extremely strong with high repeat clientele, numerous referrals, and a strong wedding business.
