This is an amazing stop for anyone riding the Katy (or anyone visiting Hermann). We found it a perfect stop at the end of the long day of riding. It was right off the trail and they made it easy (so we didn't have to go out that day). The communication was great; the place was lovely. We would absolutely stay here anytime I'm visiting this area.

Rental and suite were very nice. They did a great job renovating the mercantile. Only downside was the area was pretty rundown. It was right on the katy trail so if you bike, it would be awesome. Price was a lot cheaper than in Hermann too.

We loved everything about the stay! This is easily the best place we stayed at, especially considering the price. The room was unique and the fact that the building was a historic. The hostess was very responsive to our few requests. They thought of any all the amenities. I guarantee, if you forgot something while traveling, they have it! We will definitely be back to the next time we are through the area!

Ten outta ten!! Olga and Monica were incredible hosts, the property was incredible, and we had the best sleep of our lives. The decor was wonderful and they provided incredible products, robes, and a luxury claw foot tub. Extra bonus is that there is a wonderful local bike rental company, called PEDEGO is located at the same site, ask for Paola!

The area was just over the Mississippi bridge but kinda of in a weird area. Safe tough. Close to a hiking trail. The place was just like the pictures. Very cute. The pillows were uncomfortable. Too hard and high.

We stayed in the Vaudeville suite. The room was absolutely gorgeous and we really appreciated how well stocked it was. They had pretty much any toiletry you could need plus a few snacks and drinks. The only downside was that we were woken in the middle of the night by people in another room walking by in the hallway. It would be nice if the rooms had more soundproofing to keep from being disturbed. Other than that it was a great place to stay.

Convenient "home-away-from-home" on the Katy Trail

I stayed here with my son while riding the Katy Trail. The property is literally steps away from the McKittrick Trailhead making it very convenient for an early start the next day. Since my son was my "support vehicle driver", we easily drove into Hermann for meals and to explore the town. The room was more of a spacious one-bedroom apartment rather than a hotel room. It had a full kitchen stocked with some food and drinks and a washer and dryer (stocked with detergent and fabric softener!) which was very convenient. Communication with the proprietors was all through text messages and emails but often and detailed enough that we checked into the room with no problem. The only drawback was that the mattress on one of the beds in our room was a little saggy and needed to be replaced. Was tired enough from the trail that I still had a good night's sleep. Would definitely stay here again next time through.

This was a fabulous place to get away for the weekend to relax. It was well maintained, very well stocked with everything you need. Your home away from home! Simply beautiful in every regard. The original character of the building was kept with modern updates. I love when historic buildings are restored and the character is kept intact. Location is wonderful close to everything. Shopping, dining, hiking, wineries...whatever it is you love to do you are sure to find it here. Can't thank the owners enough for restoring this beautiful gem and sharing it with others!
