Property Description
The Lester Parker property, the neoclassical revival home built in 1905, is on the National Register of Historic Places and sits on the corner of historic Capitol Avenue and Lafayette Street. Diagonally across the intersection is the old Missouri State Penitentiary and directly across Lafayette Street is the Missouri State Penitentiary Museum and Penitentiary Tour Ticket Office.
Centrally located, Parker’s Place is the best place to stay to discover Jefferson City and all it has to offer! Recently renovated with new furnishings throughout, this beautiful home overlooks the oldest state prison west of the Mississippi River and much of Missouri’s capitol city. The master bedroom holds a king size bed, desk and smartTV. The sitting room includes a queen sofa sleeper. The family room is a large, elegant space to gather and relax, with beautiful ceiling work that is over 11' tall. Included is a grand 8' tall viewing mirror. The back sun porch has 150 sq/ft. of great space to store bikes or other travel gear. The kitchen is equipped for anything you'll need during your stay.
Parker's Place is now a destination for families and friends to connect with each other and the fascinating history of Lester S. Parker and his wonderful red brick neoclassical mansion, built in 1905 with prison labor. The central location is within walking distance of the State Capitol and the old Missouri State Prison, which both offer tours; shopping and dining in downtown Jefferson City; and the Katy Trail, a popular hiking and cycling trail with rental bikes available. Enjoy your stay at Parker’s Place, with all its intriguing stories, at the historic crossroads of Capitol Avenue and Lafayette Street in Missouri’s capitol city.

Clean apartment with comfy bed, and the best towels I've ever used at a vrbo. Proximity to the prison was great. It's literally right across the street. The history and the connection to the prison made the overall experience even better. Will definitely stay the next time we come for a ghost tour.

Stay at Parker's Place
The access code didn't work, manager didn't answer phone, and doesn't sleep 6, only two beds. Upstairs tenant heard us, came down and called someone who answered only to send us to a building next door, the access code worked there but someone was inside sleeping, so they sent us back to parker's place where there is a king bed and sofa pull out, no way that sleeps six. Without the tenant we wouldn't have even got into the place. Still no response from manager on VRBO.

Perfect Girls Trip
Met in Jeff City for a concert in the park. Perfect location close to many local eateries. (Plate & Pour bakery/cafe for breakfast is a must!). Interesting & cozy home was the perfect place to catch up with friends over a bottle of wine while relaxing on the porch.

I am disabled. We rented this property because the advertisement said the property came with a hot tub, which helps with my pain level when I travel. There was no hot tub. I messaged the manager about it and never received a reply. The photos show easy access and a nice concrete walkway that would make it easy to get our suitcases, etc. into the house. The entry pictured is not even where you are renting. You rent an apartment on the side and back of the property. There is a steep rise from the street, steep stairs, then stairs up to the porch that have no handrail. One of the main things I was looking forward to was the unobstructed view of the capitol building for the 4th of July fireworks display. We found one spot in the apartment where you could see a small bit of the display if you stood at the bedroom window and looked past the addition on the back of the building. The door code was changed once we were already on the road to the destination and we had to find a place with free wi-fi in an unfamiliar city before I could pull up the e-mail and find out why we couldn't get into the apartment. Once in, my husband went into the bathroom and there was urine all over the rim of the toilet. All of the dishes looked spotted and dirty. Absolutely was not the weekend that I had planned or what was promised by the ad. I was extremely disappointed.
