St. Joe, or St. Joseph in Missouri, is a small town that’s big on heritage. Historically, the city’s location on the Missouri River has proved vital to its growth. It became an outpost and frontier town that pioneers passed through during the Westward expansion. These days, visitors heading to the area can take a step back in time at any of its 13 distinctive area museums. Check out Jesse James’ home where the outlaw met his demise, discover the beginnings of the Pony Express, and see monumental architecture listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Being just 30 minutes away from North Kansas City, it’s an ideal base to check out nearby places. But, St. Joe also features a burgeoning arts scene, exciting events, and stunning nature sites to keep you occupied. Read on for the top Airbnb vacation rentals in St. Joseph, Missouri.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities.
