To experience one of Mark's blueberry pancakes is to die for. And Kim makes the most wonderful homemade granola.(If you're lucky ,you might get some just for a snack). Kim and Mark are the neatest couple and they will make you feel right at home. I love to swing under the giantic tree and enjoy the most beautiful view. I know you'll enjoy many returning visits as I do. Give them a call and tell them Karleen highly recommended them.

When you don't tell us where the swing is, we can't come swing with ya Karleen. And we certainly can't call Mark and Kim to claim our prize by dropping your name. Oh well....we have your word that something is good somewhere. Thanks for the endorsement!

It looks like Karleen was talking about Sedalia House B&B, so I added that to the subject of this thread, just to clarify things.
Sedalia House Bed and Breakfast (Sedalia)-Hwy HH

I'm thinking of staying at the Sedalia House B&B and wanted to know what the ride was like on HH to get back to the trail. We are planning on taking Amtrak to Sedalia, stay the evening, and then bike East the next day. It appears we would have to bike on HH for about 4 miles. Does anyone know what that road is like? Does anyone recommend this B&B? Or any other recommendations for accomodations?

We stayed there, and it was very pleasant. We didn't ride HH--the owners will shuttle you to and from the trail (we were riding with young kids). Having driven it, I would say it is sort of average for Missouri country roads--no shoulder, but reasonable visibibility and moderate traffic. So it's no trail, but not terrible. If anyone else has actually ridden it, they may have better insight. Another option in Sedalia is the Hotel Bothwell, which is right downtown (close to trail and Amtrak)--reasonably priced and comfortable. Breakfast definitely not as good as Sedalia House, but a good in-house restaurant. Check hours, though. They aren't open every day.

The Sedalia House B&B offers a special package just for KATY Trail riders which includes shuttles to and from both the trailheads and the dinner location of your choice, as well as a snack pack that's big enough to serve as a sack lunch for the next day. And, of course, it comes with a full breakfast. Check out the website located under Towns & Services...Sedalia.

Never used the B & B, but have stayed in the Bothwell. They are extremely accomodating to bicyclists, reasonabley priced, and only about 4 blocks off the trail.

Stayed at the Sedalia House last year and I highly recommend it. The room was great, the breakfast was great and the snacks for the road lasted all day. The hosts were very accomodating and allowed us to park our car there and picked us up at the train station when we returned.

The Sedalia House is beautiful inside and the host is very nice and talkative. The ride getting there and back has a few steep hills especially going back to the depot. If you take the back roads the traffic isn't bad at all. We were on HH for only 1 mile, but at night. Its hard to figure out where you are at night at the depot, but once you find Engineer Street you should have no problem finding it even in the dark. It is 4 miles from the trail.

Kim and Mark were both very friendly. We got the Katy Trail Package which includes pickup at the train station and also a packed snack for the next day's ride. My wife's comments were "best snack ever!!!". In our snack bags we each got cheese, crackers, fruit (orange or an apple), small trail mix, and a energy type bar. Kim's breakfast was wonderful and we defientely will stay there again on our next trip through Sedalia.
