A friend and I stayed in the Katy View on June 10, 2007. Loved it! Enjoyed the quiet and the
opportunity to clean our clothes while taking a relaxing dip in the hot tub. Already trying to
find another time to go for a bike ride and stay at the B&B.... The host works at the Trailside
Cafe which is great inexpensive lunch also.

We stayed here on Aug 12 and loved it. The place is sort of a combo B&B/hostel because you have used of the kitchen, and there is no host on premise. Due to the heat, a grab and go breakfast was great. We were out and on the trail by 6:30, no need to wait to eat. The hot tub was dirty, but in 103 degree heat, we didn't want to use it anyway. We will tell the owner, she may not know. We would definitely recommend this place. Very convenient to the trail! Also, not the "doily" type of B&B. Very nice and clean.

A rather odd place. Certainly not a typical bed & breakfast with a friendly host and homemade breakfasts. Not quite a hostel either. The living space was nice enough and the food provided for breakfast was tolerable. Yet, the entry code we were given for getting into the building was wrong (two too many digits) and had to depend on another lodger for the right code combination. Turns out, that lodger had to ask the manager for the correct code to get in. The hot tub actually smelled like stagnant pond water, so we chose to not use it. The manager did show up twice while we were there, but never said "hi" or in any way acknowledged our existence. The price is not terrible for what is a prime getaway town for Kansas City with other award-winning lodging, but it could easily be better than it is.

Just a quick note on the hot tub from the innkeepers of the Katy Trail B&B. During the 2007 season, we were frustrated too. The city of Rocheport switched from well water to county water. During the summer, we were faced with intermittent water quality issues that magnified themselves when filling a 500-gallon hot tub. They were blasting different levels of chlorine through the pipes that was working loose sediment in the old lines, and we were faced with extraordinary challenges to keep the hot tub in tip top shape, especially given the heavy use it receives on some weekends. The 2008 season and beyond should be cake compared to what we were dealing with last year. We've installed additional filtration and are changing our maintenance schedule to keep the hot tub in great shape so that its ready to soak your sore muscles and get you ready for another day of riding on the trail.

Regarding the breakfast, we have a very hearty continental breakfast that includes juice, coffee, tea, muffins, yogurt, granola, granola bars, fresh fruit, scones, cereal, oatmeal, bagels and toppings, etc. We find that what we are offering for the price is a perfect fit for the majority of our guests, who like the ability to come and go, and to eat and check out at their convenience. My wife Tawnee & I look forward to hosting you on your next Rocheport adventure.

Regarding the keypad dilemma mentioned above. We're very sorry about that. Our first attempt at using keypads turned sour when the products we purchased proved to be pieces of junk (Ebay!) and required replacement after three weeks. This did create an awkward 1-week period where some guests arrived with a six digit keycode (for the old locks) that would not work for the new keypads (4 digits). We did have copious notes on the doors, etc., that explained how to convert the old codes to the new one, by omitting certain digits. Also, we had alerted everyone we could via email. With two phone numbers posted on the doors, etc., this is the only complaint we received while switching over to new equipment. We are sorry that caused you any inconvenience.
