The proprietors of Red Brick Farmhouse Bed and Breakfast, ‘Ain't She Cute' and Green Acres at Red Brick Farmhouse RV and Campsites are Annette Meinershagen Dittmer and also on the broom closet staff is her husband, Kenton Dittmer. After working in several restaurants and becoming a Home Economics teacher, she came to the realization that she loved teaching Foods. Annette gained much inspiration from her mother and father in developing her gift for hospitality; preparing and serving meals for events and parties over the years. Along with her husband, Kenton, (a very talented building contractor) they have done much renovating of their 100 year old prairie style home and their original restaurant, Red Shanty BBQ and Roadside Cafe, located in Higginsville. Since opening the restaurant in 2008 Annette wanted to fulfill her dream of running a Bed and Breakfast, so in 2015 the venture began. In 2016 she added ‘Ain’t She Cute’ and the RV and camping sites. Annette and Kenton, natives of Higginsville, live on the property. A quiet country retreat nestled in the picturesque rural outskirts of Higginsville, Missouri. Our yard consists of 3 acres of a 180-acre farm in which we have three RV sites with water and electric hookups, two camping sites and one on-site travel trailer. Wifi is available at all sites, except for Site 3. Green Acres at Red Brick Farm is located just 50 miles east of Kansas City off of I-70 at Exit 49. Once you are off of I-70 your drive is less than 8 minutes away on all blacktop roads. At Exit 49 there is also a Pilot Station for RV fuel ups. Site 1 is on gravel with 30 amp hookup and water, preferably best for RV’s and trailers 25’ and under. Site 2 and Site 3 are on gravel with a 20/30/50 amp hookup and water, best suited for larger RV’s and trailers. We would prefer your travel trailer or RV length to be 35’ or under. You may choose your site location, but due to the small amount of sites we have we may have to alter your choice. This is so we can accommodate our guests in the best way possible, depending on the size of each rig. If you are towing a vehicle or pulling a trailer your total length should be 55’ or under. We will not accept Triple Axels. Site 4 and site 5 are for tents, pop ups, very tiny trailers and are in flexible locations. A 20 amp standard outlet can be provided for site 4 and site 5. For your use is a shower, toilet, and bathroom sink in our farmhouse basement. Please arrive before dusk, so you don’t disturb other campers. Site 6 Is the on-site travel trailer, ‘Ain’t She Cute’. No Pets are allowed when reserving ‘Ain’t She Cute’. The vintage style travel trailer is completely renovated and decorated with collectibles and antiques and is available for booking. It is furnished with a queen size bed, tiny kitchen, TV, wifi, and full size, not trailer size, bathroom. The trailer is for 2 guests, but an additional guest may sleep on the daybed, preferably a child or a small adult. There is an additional fee if you reserve ‘Ain’t She Cute’. Contact Annette for rates. We live onsite in our 1920’s Prairie Style home which is also Red Brick Farmhouse Bed and Breakfast with three Guest Rooms available for booking. To find out more about our other lodging choices, contact us at Red Shanty Cafe in Higginsville, Missouri. At your disposal, is the use of our outdoor furniture, a large yard to walk around in, a fire pit, a BBQ grill, and even a tire swing. You are welcome to take a stroll along the winding country road or sit and relax and view the landscape with our dozens of mature shade trees, and surrounding row crop fields and pastures. Our restaurant, Red Shanty Cafe and BBQ, is located in the town of Higginsville, about 5 miles from Red Brick Farmhouse. Red Shanty Cafe is open Weds and Thurs, 11am - 8 pm and Fri and Sat, 11am - 9pm. There is also a great little breakfast diner, called Michelle’s Place located just 3 miles from the Farmhouse in Mayview, Missouri. Interested in sightseeing we are a short drive from Confederate State Park, Missouri Veteran's Cemetery, and several Civil War sites. In addition to historic sites, numerous of Missouri's finest wineries and orchards are just a 10 to 30 minute drive from our location. You may also want to take a drive or ride on the Old Trails Scenic Byway, Route 24 for a car or motorcycle tour that will reset your pace from city life. We truly hope you enjoy midwest living when visiting Green Acres at Red Brick Farmhouse. For the skilled driver of a RV or travel trailer, going around our circle driveway has not been a problem. We have witnessed a 55 foot truck and travel trailer combination do it with ease. When departing your stay please go slow, swing wide and stay on the gravel. Also have your companion help guide you around the circle drive. More about the farm: Our quiet country retreat, in the picturesque rural outskirts of Higginsville, Missouri, has been in our family for four generations. Currently farming the land has been minimized just to row crops, but there was a time when there was a team consisting of a mule, named Jamie and horse, named Dan that tilled the soil for the crops. There were milk cows and the generations before me used a separator for the cream and milk. They had pigs, chickens, and another horse named Clipper that my mother road to school. They had several vegetable and fruit gardens and even planted peanuts. There are remnants of the old buildings that once stood on the farm. The old chicken house foundation is located near the current fire pit and a hand dug well is covered by an old tractor tire we use for our compost. The small shed in the back corner of the yard was once a pump house, a playhouse, then a chicken house and now a Junque house. There once was a barn, a silo, a feed lot, an outhouse, and a hog shed. There were old tires, iron wheels, brick piles, and a gas tank on stilts. There was a screened in porch, beautiful hydrangeas and still a wonderful front porch. There were lots and lots of large pecan and walnut trees. At one point there were over 60 wonderful shade trees in the yard. We have lost some, but still enjoy many of the trees my grandfather planted. My mother, her siblings and parents moved here in the early years of WWII. During that period of time her brother died flying over Germany fighting for us. Our children lived all their grade school and high school years in this Red Brick Farmhouse. Some winters were so terribly cold in this old house it was almost miserable. I love this old house and it is truly been a labor of love. Again, Thank you, Kenton and Annette

Wonderful place! Quiet country stay, yet not real far from I-70. Great hosts. We had water and electric. They also own a restaurant in a small town near by and the food was excellent! Highly recommend and would return. This is also a Harvest Host site.

We loved camping at Green Acres at Red Brick Farmhouse. The hosts, Kenton and Annette, were super helpful, welcoming, and accommodating every step of the way. The site is very tranquil. We also enjoyed dinner at their Red Shanty Cafe BBQ and cafe in town. (The burgers and brisket are awesome and the service is excellent.) We highly recommend this site.

We absolutely loved our brief stay at Annette and Kenton’s farm! They were very helpful at getting us settled in, even though they were having a super busy night at their restaurant. And they even built a fire for us once they got home. It’s a beautiful spot, so peaceful and quiet. It was lovely falling asleep to the sound of the breeze rustling the cornstalks from our spot in Site 3. It’s fairly close to the highway, and is a great spot to stop for the night. We’ll definitely be staying here again when we’re in the area!

We had a late arrival but our host still had a fire waiting on us. The property was very well kept and it was a delight to see where we ended up when the sun was out the next morning.

Memorable first-time camping!

Annette and Kenton's property is lovely! Communication was excellent and directions were perfect. The drive over the rolling hills of Higginsville is beautiful. We rented a spot for a one-night tent stay. The spot was level and free of bugs, and was a just a few steps from the bathroom and showers. Based on the Hipcamp listing we had dinner at the Red Shanty Cafe that is about five minutes away. My husband said the brisket was SO good! We are in the middle of a 100 degree heat wave and when we got back from dinner, Kenton had placed a drop cord and fan at our tent site. Everything was perfect and the hosts made our stay comfortable. The special touches like the manicured lawn, fan, clean bathroom and lively conversations made this a memorable first-time tent camping experience for me!

Flat parking near a garage with electric and water. Kenton was very helpful getting my water tank filled with the freezing temps, and Annette offered to let me use a shower, so kind. Not private, site was in view of the house, and no campfire ring nearby, but there was one on the property. Good communication, would totally stop by again.

Quiet, peaceful retreat.

We had a great time at Green Acres at Red Brick Farmhouse. Our host Annette and her crazy husband Kenton made our extended weekend stay all the better. Their farm sits in the middle of beautiful rolling farm land (this year it was planted in soybeans). We heard the crickets and coyotes every night, watched beautiful sunsets, and an amazing sunrise through the morning fog following the previous evenings light rain. Annette and Kenton allowed us to use their basement shower and restroom and treated us to an ice cold beverage our first night at their farm. Their property was beautifully maintained and Annette’s flowers we gorgeous. We camped in our pop-up tent trailer and we’re able to take advantage of the nearby electrical hookup and water spigot. Their BBQ restaurant was closed the night we planned to eat there so we will have to come back soon.

Solitude at Its Best!!

We had the best time here! We had never stayed at a Hip Camp place before & we were a little nervous, but Annette & Kenton made this experience so enjoyable! Their property is beautiful & the bathroom they offered for us to use in their “Ain’t She Cute” camper was very tidy & clean! We would definitely stay again & hope everyone searching for a place in this area chooses Green Acres at Red Brick Farmhouse!
