Can anyone let us know which places offer shuttle service to their bed and breakfasts or hotels? Which would you recommend?

I have heard good reports about The Cliff House B & B and the Briar Rose B & B. I think they both will provide a shuttle. With the opening of the biking/pedestrian bridge over the Missouri River you could easily bike from the N. Jefferson Trail Head to the Cliff House, which is one block from the south end of the new biking/pedestrian bridge ends.

By the way, while we are talking about the new biking/pedestrian bike path over the Missouri River at Jefferson City, it will be closed during the fireworks on 7/4.

We have stayed at the Cliff Manor the last 2 years and the owner (Thom) is very helpful. In 2010 he picked us up at the N Jefferson trailhead and shuttled us to his B&B. This year we road across on the new bike lane (which is completed separated from vehicle lanes) and had no problems getting to the B&B.

We have stayed at the Cliff Manor also and they do have a shuttle. We also just stayed at Critter Cottage in Marthasville and Monettes Cabin in Marthasville both shuttle.

How far is it from the trail to this B & B. Costs?

 
Cathy from Jefferson City on 8/7/2011 8:19:40 AM:
LQ, I just went to the websites for Cliff Manor (www.cliffmanor.com, phone 573-635-4208) and Briar Rose B & B (www.briarroseinnbnb.com, phone 573-338-0284). The Cliff Manor site has a map showing how close they are. I would guess that once you get off the pedestrian/bike bridge on the Jefferson City side of the river (south side of river) the Cliff Manor is 1/4 mile or less. That would put them about 2 miles or less from the N. Jefferson trail head. The Briar Rose web site says they are 3.5 miles from the N. Jefferson Trail Head.

We stayed at the Briar Rose last summer and they came out and picked us up. I was really impressed with how he transports the bikes. he has a full sheet of plywood with quick release mounts in the back of his covered pickup truck. Just set the front fork in one of the mounts (he can carry 4 bikes I believe), lock it down and slide the sheet back into the truck. Very slick. The folks at the Briar Rose are super nice and the B&B was very nice as well.

We were just at the Cliff Manor B&B the beginning of August. The ride from North Jefferson was easy...it is literally right across the bridge. They were very accommodating to us! Our bikes were muddy...they cleaned them and filled and froze our water bottles. The breakfast was outstanding. The best scones I have ever had....and I'm half Scottish! I would highly recommend this B&B.

We just spent 3 days with JeanetteBriar Rose B & B (www.briarroseinnbnb.com, phone 573 -338-0284. The service was outstanding, the food delicious and a very quiet location for a bed and breakfast. They will pick up at many of the different trailheads.

We just stayed at the Briar Rose B&B. We had five adult men, plenty of room, very nice place. Randy and Jeanette picked us up and shuttled us to the B&B. We had secured storage for our bikes, plenty of showers, laundry facilties, and fresh made brownies upon arrival. They also allowed us to tag along to their dinner at Bandanas. We encountered some bike issues on the trail and they shuttled us to the bike shop and waiting for our repairs to be completed prior to delivering us to the trailhead. I would highly recommend this B&B. Randy and Jeanette are great.
Thanks Randy and Jeanette!

Briar Rose very nice, wonderful owners. Helped with a bike problem. Would stay there again if in Jeff City. Take the B-Rose shuttle rather than ride in. It's a fairly long ride in a busy urban setting with hills. Unless you're strong urban riders, the shuttle is a bargain and the way to go.
