This was the perfect little spot to rest while I was in the area for my mother's 80th birthday party. Plus the little historical factor was the cherry on top. Clean, cozy, and comfy!

Stayed at the station overnight while attending a wedding near by! Fabulous experience. Very clean, and well-stocked with coffee and snacks. Lovely bonus. Jerry was very prompt at answering questions and making recommendations. 5 stars all around. Highly recommend!

We were so happy to find this property while in the area for our son’s track meet. It was a wonderfully planned and decorated space and had everything we needed. Jerry was great at communicating all the details prior to our stay and check in/out was a piece of cake. We would definitely stay here again!

This property was just what we needed for a weekend wedding stay. The location was perfect for what we needed and the history of the building made it so fun! We sat out on the porch on Sunday morning. It was peaceful and relaxing!

Charming historic place to spend the night during our stay in Missouri. The bed was Comfortable! An unusual pleasant surprise as we are mattress picky people. Wish the water pressure was higher for the shower, but overall a great stay and we appreciated having snacks provided.

Great little place to spend the weekend. You will have to drive 15 min or so for food options but it’s a nice country drive. Home was clean and comfortable. Suggest a fast shower b/c the hot water doesn’t last long. Jerry was a great, responsive host.

This super cute old gas station was beautifully decorated and clean. It was perfect for a quick overnight stop. Owners were sweet. Much better than a hotel.

The place was perfect in every way! Remodel inside was beautifully done while still adorning the outside aesthetics of the old gas station. Loved everything about it.

Small but extremely well set up. Fresh, efficient styling. Everything we needed for a one night stay and quiet neighborhood. Fun to know it used to be a Sinclair.

We had to leave early. However I can say it is extremely small. We drove our Porsche and it made the building look small. That’s saying something. The room was clean however the front door was tricky to get unlocked. They warned us so clearly the owner is aware. The mattress is ever hard. Perhaps a personal preference thing. The A/C on the other hand lacks the ability to cool the tiny place. We arrive at 230. Turned to 70. Left and returned late evening (approximately 10pm) and it was still very hot inside. We turned it on high and sat outside for a short bit and decided we needed to leave not because of that but that was the icing on the cake for us. I alerted the owner and spoke positively of how cute the place and that we were leaving. They wished us well. Of course I would have liked to see a reduced price but it wasn’t offered or technically due. I would not rent it again. It is cute and charming however it is beyond tiny. Hopefully this helps folks make an educated decision if staying in a refurbished gas station is worth it or not. I can say we tried it.

Cute little overnight place. The bed was very comfortable and everything was very clean. A couple of small things to consider. The only heat is from a mini-split and it was in the 20s the night we stayed and the unit definitely had trouble keeping it warm. We had a fan with us and when I pointed it towards the ceiling that helped a lot getting warm air moving. Water pressure wasn’t great but I had gotten a last minute message stating that this might be the case. All in all I would stay here again and it’s a fun little place.

I would leave six stars if I could! The Station was just as advertised, and was the perfect place for us to stay. The A/C really saved our bacon as it was as humid as possible while we were there.

So happy to hear you loved your visit to the Station! We would love to see our first 6 star review! Haha! You’re right abut the heat and humidity in Missouri can be brutal, but thankfully the A/C keeps it nice and cool inside!

Jerry was super responsive! I messaged him at 11:00 pm and he answered me. ( I didn’t expect to hear from him until morning, so I hope I didn’t wake him ).The Station is the cutest little place we have ever stayed. And we travel ALOT!Very quiet area for a good night sleep!No roaring of 18 wheelers keeping us awake, as they do when we are in hotels.
