Hi, I’m Olga. Originally from California, I now host in Missouri wine country. I co-founded Traveler Properties to restore historic spaces and create meaningful stays for guests who want to stay along the wine and Katy trails, with rural charm, comfort, and local character.
When I’m not hosting, I’m usually in the garden, researching local history, or caring for our chickens. I love sharing this special place with travelers from all over.
Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood because it's steeped in history—our building is a Nationally Registered Landmark—and full of small-town charm. Nestled along the Katy Trail, it offers rural simplicity, peaceful surroundings, and a deep connection to nature. Mornings start with birdsong, afternoons bring friendly cyclists passing through, and evenings are best spent on the patio by the fire pit, watching the sun set. It’s a place that invites you to slow down, sip local wine, and feel grounded again.
What makes this property unique
Our property is a Nationally Registered Landmark that blends historic charm with modern comforts. Each suite has its character and a full kitchen, making it feel more like a home than a hotel. Located directly on the Katy Trail, it’s a perfect stop for cyclists, wine country explorers, and nature lovers. Guests love the thoughtful touches, self-check-in, amenities, cozy patios, and our barn stocked with firewood, drinks, and local goodies on the honor system. It’s a stay you’ll remember—not just a place to sleep.
