Sisters and owners at The Mercantile on the Katy Trail

About The Mercantile on the Katy Trail

 

Meet Your Hosts

 

We’re sisters—Monica & Olga—and owners of The Mercantile on the Katy Trail. We love trail days, porch evenings, and helping guests make the most of Mile Marker 100.8. Need a route tip, a last-minute pump, or dinner ideas? We’re here—quietly, so your stay stays easy and private.

 

Why Here

 

Steps from the McKittrick Trailhead, and about 2 minutes by car to Hermann, our suites give you apartment-style space with self-check-in, full kitchens, and in-suite laundry—ideal for cyclists, couples, and longer stays.

 

Our Building

 

Built 1897 and lovingly restored, our mercantile is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the Missouri State Register. Original details—pressed-tin ceilings, wide plank floors—meet modern comforts: private baths, kitchens, and laundry in every suite.

 

How a Stay Works

​

  • Self-check-in with your private door code (sent before arrival)

  • Private, apartment-style suites (kitchen • bath • laundry)

  • Bike-friendly: barn storage, manual floor pump, wash hose

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