I highly recommend Joey’s Birdhouse as an overnight stay in McKittrick. This past week was our first experience on the KATY trail and Joey’s was a definite highlight for us. The room was convenient, clean, and comfortable. Joey is an energetic and creative woman who freely shared her garden, her knowledge, her conversation, and her enthusiasm for McKittrick and the trail with us. She and Rich provided a regular haven for two tired cyclists. We will definitely make Joey’s Birdhouse a planned stop the next time we travel the KATY.

Don't cut yourself short. There is alot to experience in Hermann a very short distance away.

Rich Lauer from Hermann on 10/5/2013 11:19:31 AM:

You Know;
There hundreds of beds in Hermann. High to low in cost and service.
I would like to think when "staying the trail" is desired over touring the city, the trail accommodation offer the same amenities as the big city Hermann. Meyer's, Joey's and now the Merck offer inexpensive rooms, cottages and now the largest b&b room in Missouri.\

Which brings about another quandary: What is an anonymous and does anyone really lend credibility to an entity that is so negative.

I don't know Rich. Maybe it was just someone with a financial interest in getting riders across the river. To give them credit, they were positively being jerks about it.

Rich Lauer from Hermann on 10/5/2013 8:26:44 PM:

Hey Doug;
I live in Hermann, shop in Hermann,ran for mayor in Hermann last year and again in 2014. I an trying to build the first cycleport in Hermann,so I have interest in Hermann.
I also have common sense enough to know that there are many types of riders with a variety of interests. I have steered borders to Hermann if they want to tour the city and winerys. If they are doing the larger part of the trail I assist them on staying the trail and on task. Healthy food water and skip the heavy drinking. I am allowed to do this. I think there is an ordinance here stating this. I will ask Mayor Joey for confirmation.

Have a great week Doug

Rich, looks to me that Doug was supporting you. This forum is about the trail. Hermann is Hermann...not the trail...just sayin'..keep the rubber side down.

Rich Lauer from Hermann on 10/5/2013 10:28:56 PM:

Hobo;
stop by sometime to see what we have done here. We are going to negotiate with DNR at Mckittrick trail head to build a first class or second class campground where the old grainery buildings are to be removed. Not the tower. This too will enhance mile 100.8

Hope to see you
Rich Lauer

Doug from Bluffton on 10/6/2013 9:08:49 AM:

My point Rich, was that anon and others have a right to talk well of Hermann and try to bring business there but not by stepping on well deserved comments about You and Joey or other businesses on this side of the river. That's when they become Jerks.

Jim from St Thomas on 10/6/2013 2:58:05 PM:

Rich, I hope you can get DNR to put in a campground. I talked to them about doing the same thing on land that they already own adjacent to the JC trailhead but the response was that the trail closes from dusk to dawn so any campsite would technically illegal. Hopefully, since the site you're talking about is outside of the trail boundary, you might have better luck.

Rich Lauer from Hermann on 10/6/2013 5:48:23 PM:

All's well
I think it could be said we all love the trail and appreciate the company that comes down it.
Best to all of you!

Rich

Joey's Birdhouse is a definite repeat for our future trail rides. Clean, comfortable private room/bath with WiFi, hand-written notes welcoming us, cookies on table and cold drinks in the fridge to boot. Owners of this B&B are a wonderful couple who epitomize what the Katy Trail is all about. Joey's Birdhouse with Hermann just 2 miles across the river makes McKittrick a must-stop.
