You can go right next door to the Walt Movie theater and take in a movie or walk around the block visiting shops, including Dos Bros Mexican Restaurant, Lang-a-Tang Deli, Astral Glass, Elizabeth's Gifts, Pinckney Bend Distillery, the Colter Memorial, and the Missouri River Levee Walk. History comes alive in this quaint location just 18 minutes from Hermann & Washington!
Your suite is located across the street from the train tracks (yes there are trains and yes they blow their horns 24 hours a day) and a 2 minute walk from the river; you can experience trains, tugboats and barges! The Missouri 340 runs right past our lovely town and many canoeists will be camped on our shores! The Back Door Guest Suite is a haven for your getaway that will have you relaxed and revitalized!

You have access to your entire apartment. There are steps to the basement, but the basement is locked and private. You have access to the back deck with cafe table and chairs, the firepit and the Weber grill.
Our downtown is basically one block so it is very easy to walk around to all the shops, visit the riverfront and levee walk, check out the Colter Memorial, watch the boats on the river while enjoying a bonfire or watch the trains go by! You can walk uptown too, but it is all uphill from downtown, and then it is all downhill to come back to your suite!!!

You have a contactless entry with the secure keypad on the entry door. We will respect your privacy or we will join you for a beer or conversation in passing. I am only a text or phone call away!

You can also walk the New Haven stairs right across the street from the building and find yourself at Seek Coffee, serving coffee and cocktails! Nestled between the railroad track (yes! we have trains and they blow their horns) and Missouri River, (with daily barges) New Haven offers so much to do while being quaint and serene!
You have a private parking spot behind our building or you can park across the alley or in front of the building and walk around. Access is through the back door on the alley. This is a walking downtown, 1 block and a little extra will have you busy all day, if you want! After that you need a car to access the surrounding towns of Hermann, Rosebud, Washington & Augusta. There is a Lyft driver that can be hired to get you to Hermann.
We are directly across the street from the train tracks. The trains come through 24 hrs/day and they blow their horns every time they come through.
And we provide ear plugs for sleeping if you are in need! No smoking inside or on the porch. Please respect our space and enjoy yourself!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Beautiful relaxing place in adorable neighborhood! Quite the find!
This Vrbo was exceptional in every way. The property featured clear, concise instructions to locate and enter it, and for using the appliances and TV, making everything easy to navigate. Light switches were well-marked and intuitive, adding to the convenience. The space was roomy and well-furnished, providing a comfortable atmosphere. Additionally, it offered excellent value for the price, with thoughtful details that enhanced the overall experience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a hassle-free and pleasant stay.

Rod, thank you so much for your thorough review! I appreciated all of your kind words and helpful ideas! Hope we get to host you again sometime!
Much Gratitude! Laura
We really enjoyed our stay! We loved how creative the layout and decorations were. The place has everything you’d need and expect to find. The bed is super comfy! The host was very responsive. The cafe next door has excellent sandwiches and coffee (but it’s closed on Sundays). Don’t expect much from the “river walk”. It’s really just a sidewalk not more than a block and a half long. New Haven is close to Hermann, so we went there and rented e-bikes and rode the Katy Trail. Super fun! If you’re looking for a place in this region, I would definitely recommend Zia.
