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, 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.
