My ABSOLUTE favorite establishment on the entire KATY Trail! The ambiance, the service, the accomodations, the history....all represent a time when life was much simpler. If your ride takes you to or through this area, DO NOT pass up the opportunity to experience this true slice of Americana.

My husband, son and I stayed overnight at the Peers store. Barb rents out a room above the store. Nothing fancy but very comfortable and just what 3 tired bikers needed! $50 dollars gets you some delicious sandwiches, a shower (handheld) and a big room with two double beds and a TV. Barb lets you put your bikes on the enclosed back porch. Even if you don't need to spend the night, the store is a great place to stock up on whatever you need. Nice folks, we'll go back again! Call Barb at 636-932-4655.

I'm trying to figure out something. Why is it that people say that if they move the Boonville Bridge it threatens the survival of the Katy Trail? I didn't think that the trail used that bridge anyway. I'm just trying to understand the issue. The articles that I have read didn't really explain anything other than the poltics of the matter

For a bar, they have great food. I had the lunch special and was blown away by the taste. On top of that, the price was nice.

A fantastic bed and breakfast! A biker serving bikers. Doug is not only a great cook, but can entertain you with his life stories. Make this a stop on your trip.

Third times a charm....the people working actually greeted me with kindness when I walked in. Much more pleasant experience than the past two times.

Great lunch stop. As soon as I walked in the door the host put two glasses of ice water at my table (apparently he has served bikers before). Food & service was great. Try to eat in the train car if you can.

Nice Stay! Only $30 for a room...included microwave, refrigerator and cable tv. A short ride from the Katy Trail. Hard to beat for the price.

The friendliest service we've ever had. Excellent food at excellent prices.
We frequently ride the trail early in the morning and we always try to make The Katy Trail Cafe our breakfast stop toward the end of the ride, omlettes to die for! You have to stop in or your missing out!

A fantastic, quiet, down to earth, home in the country, with great atmosphere, food, accommodations and people. Have Richard pick you up at the trail and enjoy the ride down the hill in the morning. It gets your legs back quickly. Relax in the hot tub, take a shower, catch lightning bugs, smell the lavender, watch the yellow finches feed, play washers, and swing on the porch swing while looking at the rolling hills. In the morning you will have a fresh, healthy, delicious, home made breakfast that you will not forget. Myrta's Swiss upbringing adds charm to her home atmosphere and food. Highly recommend for a unique and memorable experience that is hard to find anymore.

Beautiful rooms at the hotel, food was great and you can't beat the location...right on the trail. Check their website for room specials. We got a great deal. Very accomodating to bicyclists and the casino was alot of fun.

Thinking about riding a section of the trail the 4th and 5th and I was wondering if anyone knew if there were any fireworks or celebrations in any of the towns along the trail.

Just finished an out and back from Defiance to Providence. A wonderful time...Thanks to all who contribute to the forum as I was able to plan well because of it. I knew ahead of time, but will also add that insect repellant and paper money are vital. Also, know the hours of places you want to eat etc.

I have to agree with a few of the others, not worth the stop. We stayed in Augusta overnight and was told to try this place for good food and beer. We went down late afternoon and they were out of everything except about two things. Apparently ordering food for the resteraunt wasn't high on the list. Beer was average at best. Service was terrible. Only 6 customers in the whole place and still couldn't hardly get a beer. I know that we won't be back there. If you are looking for a meal go a few more blocks up the hill to Cafe Bella!

Last fall I was riding from Weldon Springs to Marthasville and back. I got as far as Dutzow and was attacked by a dog. I rode my bike to Augusta with two large puncture wounds in my calf, bleeding extensively. I went into the River Witch Saloon and was treated horribly. I was in tears and asked if I could use the restroom to wash the blood from my wounds which were filthy from the trail. My entire shoe was filled with blood and my wounds were obvious. The bartender told me to go somewhere else further down the street. What a jerk. He was so rude to me. I rode on to Defiance where I was treated for my injury by a very kind shop owner. I will never go to this dump again. Beware!

Cross-State Trip is in the Bag!

I recently made a cross-state trip across Missouri, beginning in St. Charles and ending just over the Kansas border. Many thanks to Doug Rendleman of the Rendleman B & B. He provided me with a helmet mirror for the "Highway Leg" of my journey. Thanks, Doug. I enjoyed visiting with the other KATY bikers and hikers along the way. Total trip time was 3.5 days and ~300 miles. Highlights included eating at Dotty's in Hartsburg, the Rendleman Home, perfect weather and shacking up at Boonville's Hotel Fredrick. Also many thanks to this website and its Comment Forum users for all the advice I received prior to my trip. The KATY is our jewel...
