Comments from Recent Guests: "Thanks so much for the perfect stop over. Your Katy Trail Bed & Bikefest is clean, cute, charming - truly a step back in time to Grandma's house." ~Nelda L. "Wonderful place! So well done. The house is so cute and authentic. We would recommend the Katy Trail Bed & Breakfast to anyone wanting a peaceful get-a-way in Missouri." ~Fran M. "Sweet, charming and relaxed. We've appreciated the lovely touches to this home." ~Rebecca "Enjoyed the Tree House lots. The breakfast in house makes this the first bed & breakfast that we liked as bikers. We could eat breakfast as early as we want. Thanks!" ~Bike Club, Minnesota "We love your bed & breakfast! It is so quaint - just like my grandma's house. We also liked how close it was to the Katy Trail and your self-check. We loved that the house was unpretentious such as the painted mouse hole on the wood trim, the restoration of the wood floors, the unique door to the Attic Room, and the French doors to the Jefferson Room. The romantic layout of the Attic Room is a place I could see my husband and I coming back to. Thanks for adding to our adventure!" ~Cindy |
