Hello! Our little Katy Trail Bed & Breakfast suffered a massive blow recently. We're trying to recruit some help to get it rebuilt.
A few weeks ago, my life changed -- water. Water everywhere. Our entire bed & breakfast was dripping with water, ceilings collapsed, walls destroyed, water on the floor. Everything soaked. A water pipe had burst on the second floor. It would have been easier to just shut the door and walk away.
But this little bed & breakfast has been a home-away-from-home for thousands of cyclists and hikers who enjoy Missouri's Katy Trail State Park - the longest rails-to-trails project in the country. Families come here to unwind and enjoy nature and the Missouri River.
Please share your encouragement or contribution, if you are able, at www.gofundme.com/katytrail and help to rebuild Rocheport's Katy Trail Bed & Breakfast! We are offering incentives and gift certificates for those that are able to donate towards the restoration work. Sadly, there was no insurance on this house over the winter (when it's closed each year).
We want to share our special place with you once the renovations are done. Our goal is to have the main house ready for guests by May 15th -- the Boxcar and Carriage House are still open for business.
I believe bringing this little B&B back is about community and restoring not only an old house but ensuring that families continue to have a go-to "shelter from the storm" in Rocheport for many years to come!
The silver lining of this is seeing and hearing from many friends and family near and far. I know in my heart we're going to get it done and it'll be better than ever. Hope to see you on the Katy Trail this spring!
