Our Story

Welcome to The Mercantile on the Katy Trail, proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the Missouri State Register of Historic Places. Built in 1897 and restored in 2023, this former mercantile now operates as a self-service short-term rental in McKittrick, Missouri. We are Monica and Olga, sisters and co-owners, dedicated to preserving this landmark while offering guests a comfortable, independent place to stay.

​

Our mission is simple: to keep the story of McKittrick alive while creating memorable experiences for today’s travelers. Whether you’re here to cycle the Katy Trail State Park, explore Hermann’s wineries, or plan a Missouri wine country getaway, The Mercantile offers a stay that feels both historic and welcoming.

​

Located just steps from the Katy Trail and only four minutes across the bridge from downtown Hermann, our four suites combine historic character with modern comfort. Each offers a spacious layout, a full kitchen, in-suite laundry, and the privacy of a self-service stay.

 

“Your stay helps us keep McKittrick’s story alive — one guest at a time.”

​

We are grateful for the community support that made this restoration possible, and we are honored to welcome both new and returning guests. By staying at The Mercantile, you become part of McKittrick’s ongoing story.
