07/19/2022

Haven't given an update in a little while. The BOQ is becoming a popular spot for summer travelers. Gary from Houston, TX had this to say:

"Just letting you know we checked in yesterday afternoon ok. Love the BOQ! No issues with anything. As a WW II buff staying in the home of a General is awesome!"

Thanks, Gary! Enjoy your stay!!

Another 5 Star review on Airbnb for the BOQ!

Tara writes:
"This is a cozy little getaway in a quiet town that is set back from the road. So much care has clearly been taken in restoring this wonderful brick building. I enjoyed reading about the history of the building and appreciated the high quality materials and furniture throughout."

Thanks, Tara! You're an awesome guest, and we hope you come back!

It was an honor to visit our neighbors at Fort Leonard Wood today and extend an invite to the brave men and women in uniform who may be looking for comfortable accommodations for family and friends! Travelers in the area can also find our brochures at the Pulaski County Visitors Center.

Historic Downtown Mountain Grove...

One of the friendliest, most picturesque small towns in the Ozarks, Mountain Grove is a community whose citizens work hard, play hard and happily lend a helping hand to neighbors and area visitors alike. On a typical sunny afternoon in Mountain Grove, you can find children playing while families picnic in the Cedar Center Children's Park. You might also notice people gathering to sit and visit in the park surrounding the historic bandstand on the town square.

BOQ stands for Bachelor Officer Quarters. When Brigadier General Paul Robinett returned to his family home in Mountain Grove after retiring from active duty in the First Armored Division of the United States Army, he built a comfortable guest house for himself on the family’s three-acre property. He was able to live out his final days in his beloved hometown surrounded by family.

A bit about the General...

Paul McDonald Robinett (1893-1975) was a cavalry and armor officer of the U.S. Army. He spent much of his career as a staff officer, and commanded an armored regiment and combined arms combat command during the Tunisian campaign of World War II.

For his outstanding work in North Africa, Robinett was awarded the U.S . Distinguished Service Medal, the Legion of Merit, the Purple Heart, the French Legion of Honor and Croix de Guerre with two palms, the Brazilian Order of Military Merit in grade of Commander, and the Tunisian Grand Cordon Order of Glory (Nichan-Iftikhar.)
