This was a great place to stay for the wine festival. It is very close to everything and a quiet area. The beds are very comfortable and the furnishings are nice. There was a great patio area that would be perfect on a cool night.

Thank you for choosing us during the Hermann wine festival! We’re glad you enjoyed the quiet location, comfy beds, and patio space. We’d love to host you again for another Hermann festival or Katy Trail getaway!
This was the perfect place for a girls weekend! it was a little concerning getting there as it is down a narrow path that appears very low income. However the property feels very secure and safe! The room was very clean and updated, it had everything we needed and more. The open atmosphere made it feel even larger than expected. The large sitting space allowed for a cozy lounge area that we very much enjoyed. The location backing up to the MKT trail was so wonderful for morning and evening walks. The snack shack offered anything extra you may need and was an adorable addition to an already very accommodating lodging. We will definitely come back here again!

Thank you for spending your girls’ weekend with us! We’re glad you enjoyed the spacious suite, cozy lounge, and easy access to the Katy Trail. The snack shack has been a favorite addition, so it’s great to hear you loved it too. We understand arriving in a small rural town can feel different at first, but we’re happy you felt safe and comfortable here. We look forward to welcoming you back!

About the host
Hosted by Olga Marquez
Hi! We're sisters, Monica and Olga - California-born but small-town at heart.
We fell in love with Missouri's wine country and the charm of the Katy Trail years ago, and we've been building this dream ever since.
The Mercantile on the Katy Trail is our way of sharing it: a welcoming, thoughtfully restored space where travelers, families, cyclists, and wine lovers can slow down, settle in, and enjoy the rhythm of this special corner of Missouri.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with McKittrick because it feels like Missouri's best-kept secret - a quiet little town with history, grit, and direct access to the Katy Trail.
It's peaceful but not isolated, with beautiful views, friendly neighbors, and a location that's just a 4 minutes from the heart of Hermann.
Being right on the trail makes it a cyclist's dream, and we loved the idea of restoring a historic mercantile building that was once a hub for the community.
Now, it's a place for travelers to reconnect, recharge, and experience the Katy Trail and wine country at their own pace.
What makes this property unique
The Depot Suite is unlike anything else on the Katy Trail - a modernized suite inside a former 1897 mercantile and music hall, now transformed into a warm, stylish retreat.
Original soaring ceiling brings the past to life, while updated amenities like a full kitchen, smart TV, and clawfoot tub offer all the comfort of a boutique stay.
Guests love the history, the character, and the peace. Step outside and you're on the Katy Trail at Mile Marker 100.8 - no driving needed. Whether you're cycling in, prepping for a wedding, exploring Missouri wine country, or just escaping the city, this suite blends location, charm, and comfort in a way that truly stands out.
Add in the Hermann Trolley and Lyft U Up pickup, Casey's pizza delivery, and access to outdoor patio seating for grill and fire pit. The walkable small-town feel of McKittrick right off the trailhead, and you've got a place that's both practical and unforgettable.
