Reply to Rendleman Home B&B

We stayed in 6 B&Bs, five were wonderful for as cheap as $40, while this was a nightmare for $121. The water smelled like rotten eggs, making showers a horrible experience. The bedrooms were very dirty and had no vent fan, so we had to sleep with our door open right across from other guests with their door open (Fortunately the other guests were very nice people). If I hadn't been on a bike, I would have left even though I would forfeit $121. It is clearly worth biking a little farther to make Hermann. Don't make this horrible mistake, or let a friend make this mistake.

We have been taking vacations on the KATY trail for 10 years now. We have biked from Sedalia to St. Charles and everything in between. We always try to stay at Rendleman's B&B. The shower experience is great whether you choose the conventional indoor shower and bathroom or the outdoor one with the candle ambiance. He is on well water, but hey...it's the great outdoors! He has bottled water to drink if you choose. :) The price is great as it includes dinner if you let him know in advance and his is real food as he is a cyclist himself. Great with kids (ours are 10 & 12 now) and the best breakfast for any cyclists on the trail! His is a clean B&B, although not the antique type that you so often find. If you were hot, you should have told him as he fixes any problems that you have. He is a fantastic host and always introduces everyone. I have to say, out of all the places we have stayed, he has been one of the few that allowed us to stay with little babies and now children. Many of the B&B's on the trail do not cater to families, but to the wine and cheese crowd. Rendleman's is clean, down to earth, bike friendly type place. We highly recommend it, even after 10 years or biking, first with a trailer and the babies, and now with the kids on their own bikes. If you have a problem, you have to tell the person so that they can solve it. Otherwise, do not complain that the problem isn't fixed.
