Immersion Experience Into a Fictional Magical World

Whole House Rental!

You’ve never had a stay like this one! This is a vacation rental cosplay and it’s next level! The Hallows is inspired by all things magical. This one-of-a-kind vacation rental is set up to be an experience, not just a place to sleep. Grab your broom and book this incredible adventure.

It’s a magically unique experience.

You will be transported to the wizarding world as you enter, you’ll feel like you’re arriving at a wizarding boarding school. You’ll be bewitched by the visually stunning décor and comforts galore. No detail was spared in this house from the 15 foot mural to unique antique furnishings, it will ensnare the senses and bewitch the mind. There are 5 bedrooms to choose from, each with a different theme. Dragons, Gryphons, Badgers, Vipers, and Talons. You will have a hard time picking your favorite.

Dragons- Where the headmaster dwells with a flaming bird, old books, and the 12 uses of golden dragon’s blood.
Gryffindor- They wear red hearts on their sleeves. They don’t care for rules but will fight for what’s right and seek endless adventure.
Hufflepuff- They love nature, friendship, and a warm cup of tea. They are content and calm as bees in this honeyed haven.
Slytherin- They look for victory at any price, they have green cat eyes, velvet bones, and dark dreams.
Ravenclaw- They will soar to heights with their thinking hats on. They seek answers in midnight blue skies and anti-clockwise riddles.

It’s a spellbinding historical house.

This house was built in 1885 by a civil war lieutenant and has only had very few owners in 136 years. Each owner worked to keep the architectural detail. The beautiful and creepy exterior has had only minor changes in over a century. High ceilings, the original hardwood floors, and beautiful bay windows in almost every room. The house has been lovingly renovated not just flipped. It has been modernized for comfort while staying true to its roots. You’ll find a modern kitchen with everything you need to prepare a meal. There are 2 full bathrooms available to all 5 themed bedrooms. The lower level bedroom does not have access to a same level full bath as the original house was built before modern plumbing or electric. You’ll find two comfortable seating areas and a large dining room for gathering. This will easily accommodate the 10-guest maximum.

It’s an amazing location.

We love that Saint Joseph has a rich history that matches this wonderful get away. You will be able to relax and will want to spend a significant time exploring the details of the residence but when you’re ready there is plenty to do in this great town.

You are just minutes from downtown where you will find fantastic eatery’s, breweries, and activities.

Day Trips:

Weston MO is about 30 minutes away. This fantastic small town is filled with boutiques, wineries and eateries. Visit during Christmas and you will fall in love.

Kansas City MO about an hour drive south of St. Joseph, visit for shopping, music, food and sporting events.

You will not forget coming to the Hallows to build lasting magical memories with friends and family. It is put together for sharing moments. From the waffle maker to the candy shop, you’ll have a truly unique experience. This is a great gift for someone who has everything because you can never have enough magic in your life.

• If you love historic homes.
• If you are a fantasy fan especially witches and wizards.
• If you love well decorated spaces and antiques. Gothic, Medieval, and witchy.

This is an incredible experience for any Harry Potter fan! The decor is amazing -- there is much to see. Look at a shelf or table 3 times and you will notice something you hadn't seen before. Bedrooms are large and comfortable. The grandkids vied for who got each Hogwarts house theme. Pantry and kitchen were nicely stocked. Wish there was a full bath downstairs rather than 1/2, but understand the space limitations and remodeling a vintage home. Overall, we had an excellent visit!

Excellent Details!
The house was great! We loved the details of each room and the Horcrux Hunt (so fun)! The owner was excellent communicating with us on our stay. For cleanliness, I rate it a 3 because of the outside of the house. There were vines growing through the BBQ pit so we weren’t able to use it. Outside of that, it was a great time!

Great Get Away In St. Joe
Property was very clean and very well decorated. The themed rooms were a lot of fun and kids and adults alike would enjoy the home. The neighborhood has many old, beautiful homes within walking distance and a very nice museum near by. The home had all essentials for a nice stay and the property was well taken care of. Thanks

Tons of character with a very considerate host
The house is extremely unique with a ton of attention to details. That is true for the house and furnishings but also in the way the house is stocked. Unlike other places where you can’t find spare toilet paper this one has everything you need and things can actually be found. No question I would recommend this property to others.

Fantastic house!
I don't know if I could put into words how wonderful this place was. I'll start with the basics. Communication A+, cleanliness A+, comfort of beds was an A+ from all 5 of us. Check in and check out was a breeze. The house was well stocked with all the basics and plenty of extras (candy!) ;-). We all loved staying here and wish we could have stayed longer. The attention to detail throughout the home was incredible. Well done to our hosts! We sorted ourselves into rooms via the sorting hat with a little help from one our friends who created our Hogwarts acceptance letters. If you are a Harry Potter fan, then staying here is a must and even if you know very little about HP but love older homes then staying here is a must.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!
This is the second year in a row that my daughter wanted to have her birthday party here. Last year we brought up sex girls, and this year we brought eight. It was so fun! We rented it for the weekend and the girls and their moms stayed! All of the girls said it was the BEST birthday party ever!!! I think they may have eaten the entire wall of candy!! Ha! Karen and Brian are extremely responsive if you need anything and it’s just a fantastic experience for anyone who likes Harry Potter!!! Unforgettable!!!

Our kids are grown, but we all absolutely loved this property! There’s so much to explore and enjoy. It provided not just a beautiful place to stay, but an overall experience for the whole family. It was sort of like seeing all the detail at Harry Potter World at Universal Studios without having to plan an entire trip to Florida. 😁

With the permission of the property owners, we got married and had a small dinner with our parents, siblings, and best friends. The property made for beautiful photos and we had such a great time. The property had everything we needed plus some. We are looking forward to coming back for a relaxing weekend to enjoy ourselves again.
