Three of us will be riding Sedalia to St. Charles from Oct 11 to 17. We won't be carrying sleeping bags and would rather not share beds. Many places have just B&B and inns that have only one bed per room. Renting 3 rooms is beyond our budget. Do you know any places with 3 beds per room? Twin beds and a rollaway or bunk rooms would work. Towns with motels should offer something, but the smaller towns are problematic. I did see there are bunk rooms at Schoolhouse B&B and Katy Trail B&B in Rocheport. Also at Steamboat Junction campground (near Bluffton). Other suggestions?

The Rendleman Home in Bluffton has one room with two twin beds and a room with a double bed and futon in it. A single heavy air mattress could be added. If one of those rooms was available on the night you want it would be $53 per person, dinner breakfast and tax included.

Remember Hartsburg will be having their annual Pumpkin Festival on the 10th and 11th of October where 50,000 plus people show up. Otherwise you could stay in our Volunteer Park for free. Good luck.

Leaving on the 11th probably would put you in Hartsburg after the Pumpkin Fest making Volunteer Park for free a viable option.

Concord Hill B&B between Treloar and Marthasville has a very nice loft with three separate Futons. Great for 3 guys. I stayed there recently with two other stags as part of a larger group that included couples. Maggie is the proprietor. I don't know if she'll rent the loft separately but it's worth a shot if that fits your schedule. Her # is 636-782-2042. Great hot breakfast at the B&B and they'll fix dinner, too, with prior notice.

The hotels/motels in the larger towns have two-kingbed rooms, which can be shared easily. Yet, these places are not right next to the trail, although many of them offer free pickup at the trailheads.

If you were to stay at the DeVille or the Truman in Jeff City, for example, they will pick you up. Otherwise, the 1-1/2-mile ride over the bridge to get there is risky during rush hour traffic. The southbound side has three lanes, but no shoulder to speak of, so daring riders want to exit at the first Main-Street exit once over the river. This street will take you to the capital bldg and the downtown section just south of it.

Since you won't be carrying sleeping gear, the shelter in Tebbetts ($5 a night each) probably won't work for you. That is, unless you don't mind sleeping in your clothes after a hot shower. The shelter does have heat.

The trail is scenic this time of the year. Good luck.

I am the General Manager of the Hotel Frederick which is across the street from the KATY Trail as it crosses the Missouri River on the north end of Boonville. We have rooms that have 2 queens and 2 singles and if you roll in here during the week, I can give you a good rate. Send your request to hotelfrederick@sbcglobal.net and mention that I responded to your request on this site.
Good Luck and enjoy this beautiful state.
