My dad, daughter, and I rode the trail from Sedalia to Rocheport and back over Memorial Weekend 2005. There were many things to remember about the nature including the smell of honeysuckle and the critters we saw...22 squirrels, 13 turtles, 13 rabbits, 6 snakes (dead and alive), 4 turkeys, 2 salamanders, and 1 quail...(which my daughter counted and made a song about). What a beautiful ride. The one thing we will always remember is Pauline at Polly's Perch!! What a great lady!! We stayed there on the way to Rocheport and on the way back. The hospitality was out of this world! Polly we love you and thanks for your part in making our weekend one to remember.

My husband, my 3-year old son, and myself spent our family vacation biking the Katy Trail. After getting off of the train in Sedalia on a VERY hot Monday afternoon, we rode our bike 4 miles out THE WRONG DIRECTION. After struggling to get back to Sedalia, we had a lovely evening at Sedalia's Best Western. Getting up a 4am the next day, we rode the 26 miles to Polly's Perch in Pilot Grove and did not want to leave. She has a wonderfully restored brick bungalow sitting right on the trail with a beautifully screened-in front porch. We sat there that Tuesday evening and watched as a cooling downpour occured. It was much needed. We was able to meet her dear baby brother, nephew, and Polly's son Dustin. We had a wonderful time. Good food, good conversation, and a wonderful place to relax. Highly recommend spending your night before or after Sedalia at Polly's place.

My husband and I rode the entire Katy Trail from Clinton to St. Charles. Polly's B&B was our second stop. We enjoyed our brief stay and Polly's refreshing and warm hospitality. We hope you will consider a stay at Polly's when passing through Pilot Grove. You must try her pies which are well-known along the KT by many locals!

My daughter, dad, and I again rode the trail and stayed at Polly's Perch, June 2007. It was just like coming home to family. It is clean and the hospitality is out of this world! We love you Polly, thanks.
