High on the limestone bluffs at Rocheport’s western edge sit two vacation rentals with big Missouri River views: Founder’s Point and The Bluff House. Both get booked well ahead by couples, families reuniting, and people who just want a few quiet days above the river. Here’s what to know.
Founder’s Point was built by Les Bourgeois Vineyards founders Doc and Martha Bourgeois, and it sits on the Blufftop at Rocheport at 14020 W. Hwy BB. It’s a four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath house with its own architecture — personal touches like Louisiana wood throughout — a stone fireplace, three patio spaces, a full kitchen, and a deck with river-and-valley views that do most of the talking. It runs about $1,000 a night and draws groups celebrating something: milestone birthdays, retreats, wedding weekends. No pets. See dates and details on the Founder’s Point listing.
The Bluff House: River-View Seclusion
The Bluff House is the more intimate, more tucked-away option, at 14120 W. Hwy BB and around $273 a night. It’s a blufftop retreat with a river-view patio made for slow mornings with coffee and the particular quiet that comes from being genuinely out of town. It’s a good fit for a small group — a family with room to spread out, or two couples on a long weekend. It books through Airbnb; see photos and dates on the Bluff House Airbnb listing.
Both sit a short drive from everything that makes Rocheport worth the trip: the Katy Trail and its tunnel, the tasting rooms, and the Les Bourgeois A-Frame up on the bluff. Both fill up in fall, so if you have a specific date in mind, book early. Browse all Rocheport lodging to compare your options.
