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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks for visiting the Station. Happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. Sorry about the water pressure as we did get that fixed by a plumber. Take care.

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.
