My wife is still talking about this place. Get your own drink out of the cooler, get your own ice cream sandwich out of the freezer, kick back and enjoy the locals and a burger.

Great place, good food, good owners, a jukebox with everything from Hank Williams early hits to Taproot. Decent pool tables, good beer, and atmosphere on six legs!

We rode the KATY Trail in 2006 and had such a great time that we are going to do it again, this time in a smaller version. We plan to start at Klondike Park in Augusta, camp at Steamboat Junction the first night, Hartsburg the second night, and then back to Klondike. Since it has been a copule years since we were there, I had a few questions...
1) Does anyone know where we can leave our car around Augusta?
2) Is Steamboat Junction still open?
3) Do they still allow camping at the park in downtown Hartsburg?
Thanks a million!

Gary and Corrine are great hosts. Their house is completely retored and beautiful. Breakfast is awesome with the stuffed french toast (you don't even need maple syrup it's that good). If you like conversation, stay here. They make their house seem like your own house. Bikes are locked in garage. Would highly recommend Red Brick B&B Inn

We did a overnight from Creve Coeur Park to Augusta (actually rode to Dutzow then back to Augusta), trail has a few rough spots but easily avoidable. We saw a a piece of equipment smoothing out a section of the trail near Green Bottoms, but otherwise trail is fine. We stayed at Red Brick Inn in Augusta. House is completely retored, you could tell all the work put into it. Great place to stay overnight. Gary and Corinne great hosts. Breakfasts is awesome, the stuffed french toast is superb. I'm sure all the B&B's are very nice in Augusta, and we would highly recommend this one.

Trips into Columbia or Hermann are ok if needed. Would like to do B&B's or hotels so we won't have to carry as much gear. Thanks
Bob on 09/17/2008 08:56 PM
If you are staying in Central Missouri or biking the Katy Trail, and want a B&B that exceeds your expectations and much more than delights. Please give Kriss and Gene a call at the High Street Victorian, in Boonville.
Although we are not cyclists, I want to point out that the High Street Victorian is a short, half block from the awesome Katy Trail. Even without a bike, the Trail is a delight to walk -- especially if you get on it on Spring Street and walk south. Very beautiful!

There are a multitude of B&Bs as well as Hotel/Motels along the way that you can pick and chose as what amenities to which you are desirous. If I were to give recommendations of towns to stop in with good B&Bs as well as the distance you would like to have between towns I would try: Sedalia - Boonville (40 miles), Boonville - Hartsburg (40 miles), Hartsburg - McKittrick/Hermann (55 miles), McKittrick - St. Charles (60 miles). Check out the B&Bs/accommodations in Boonville, Hartsburg & McKittrick/Hermann.

Thank you for the info - that looks like the best 4 day plan
J&B from Stillwater, OK on 09/23/2008 10:16 AM
We hit some of these points in early June 08, in reverse order: Sedalia via Amtrak to Washington. Bike Washington to St. Charles (Lococa House B&B); St Charles - Hermann (Wolthouse) & 2 days); Hermann - Hartzburg (Globe Hotel); Hartsburg - Pilots Grove (Polly's B&B). Check out Les Bouise winery in Rocheport, esp. for lunch and Stone Hill Winery in Hermann for winery tour plus dinner. I can recommend all our B&Bs although the Wolthouse has nearby train tracks and highway.
Peggy from Belton on 09/23/2008 07:32 PM
We did Sedalia to Hermann and back loop (total 263 miles). Staying in Booneville first night at Isle of Capri, reasonably priced and right on the trail. Not knowing Booneville nor if we would arrive before dark, picked that place. On the way back we stayed at the High Street Victorian - EXCELLENT. Kriss is a great cook and hostess, best iced tea and ginger cookies I've ever had and her breakfast - wonderful. And the house is beautiful. Globe Hotel In Hartsburg is nice, Jeannette does a great job to make you feel welcome, loaded with history about the hotel and the 1993 flood, and had a great breakfast with cinnamon rolls and muffins that let us take extras on our ride, Hartsburg Inn is also good but with a more limited breakfast, stayed at both on each end of loop. Just watch Hartsburg because not much for dinner if Mon thru Wed. Stayed at Zimmer mit Fruhstuck in Hermann, very nice-continental breakfast. Hope this helps.
DICK GABRIEL from Marietta, GA on 09/24/2008 12:21 PM
My wife and I just completed the trail last week. If you want some neat places to stay: Hotel Bothwell/Sedalia, great breakfast; Hotel Frederick/Booneville (ask for the businessman rate, Sun.-Thurs. only, 50% off); Globe Hotel/Harpsburg; and especially don't miss Doug Randleman's B&B at Bluffton. All of these are right on the trail (Bothwell within 3 blocks). [Both Bothwell and Frederick are beautifully restored downtown hotels. Globe is the old railroad hotel.] Doug's passion is the Katy Trail, and he is a wealth of information and a wonderful host!

This was our second stay at the Cabooses. This time we brought our 9 year old grandson. HE LOVED IT! He checked out every nook & cranny in the caboose and was fascinated that he could stay in something that had once rushed down a railroad track. It rained all night but we were quite cozy in the caboose. We enjoyed the great breakfast the next morning. Luckily the rain cleared and we enjoyed riding the Katy Trail. What a wonderful experience to have with your grandson.

Perhaps a question of what services might be provided by a particular business would be better directed to the business providing those services. The respondents here, may or may not have any actual knowledge that would pertain to said business.

The tunnel at Rocheport, Les Bourgeois bistro in Rocheport (good food, wine and view from the top of the bluff here), the bluffs east of Rocheport, the Hartsburg area, the bluffs from Portland to McKittrick, and of course Hermann for Oktoberfest. It's all good for a must see in the fall as there is bittersweat, jack in the pulpit, buckeyes, poke, etc.

A delightful place run by a wonderful lady. Polly is the retired postmistress of Pilot Grove and runs a wonderful, inexpensive B&B with a huge breakfast. We've stayed there twice. Dining options are skimpy some evenings in Pilot Grove, so check with Polly before you get there. She serves lunches and may fix you something for dinner, although we used the general store, which closes at 7 pm. Three rooms, bath down the hall, peaceful screened front porch.

We've biked the Katy Trail twice and stayed at Polly's B&B both times. Polly is a delightful lady, and retired Postmistress of Pilot Grove. Her three room B&B (bath down the hall) is perhaps 200 feet from the trail. Prices are very reasonable. Breakfast is huge. Call about the evening meal as choices are few. We got groceries from the grocery store, which closes at 7 pm, but Polly would probably fix you a meal if it were arranged. She does lunches.

I got some vacation time I have to use up this year so I am planning on riding the whole trail. I want to wait a bit for the trail to recover from the flooding. But not wait so long that the water is off.
MAH from Blue Springs, MO on 09/22/2008 07:43 PM
I believe it's Nov 1st and then back on April 1st. Just in case you're new to the trail, not all trailheads have running water at the trailhead itself. Starting from the western end, I know for sure that Clinton, Calhoun, Windsor, GreenRidge, Sedalia, Pilot Grove, Boonville, NewFranklin, Rocheport, McBaine, Hartsburg, and North Jefferson all do. Clifton City does not, so it's about a 20 mile stretch between Sedalia to Pilot Grove without water. I have read that if you go up the hill in Clifton city you can find a soda machine, but I have not done that.
Past Jeff City, I'm not 100% certain of the trailheads that have running water and which ones don't (although many times you can find a place to buy a cold drink if you venture off the trail.
Have fun!
