Guest Reviews

Adam (7/5): With a new mattress I’d def stay again - Clean, up to date. Beautiful room. Very responsive. Love the small details like the hair wraps, facial products, bathroom essentials. The bed was the only downfall. Was so uncomfortable ended up sleeping on the couch and then we left a day early bc of it. Just no sleeping on that bed.
Jared (9/5): Loved it!! Will come again! - They had everything you might need or want in stock. They had beer in the fridge, coffee and other condiments. The mattress needs replaced. We sank in the middle of the bed and we felt like eggs in an egg carton.
Melissa (10/5): -
Derrick (10/5): First timer - Cleanliness and quick response to requests. N/A
Janice (10/5): Would have liked to stay longer. - Location. Facilities. Super clean. Lovely suites that you could live in for months if you wished. Some TV noise from other rooms.
Tonya (3/5): We won’t be back. - Nice and roomy. NOISY!! People were very loud for several hours in the middle of the night. Loud music, screaming, hollering, loud music, stomping etc…
Marian (10/5): -
carey (10/5): - Feels like you are in an urban apartment with the best of the best design and furnishings down to stocked kitchen accessories. Stylish in all the quality ways. Super special place. Loved it!!
marty (8/5): - Very nice accommodations, super convenient to the Katy trail. Limited items for breakfast, only eggs, toast and coffee. They had cerel but no milk. Bed was comfortable, but would have liked a pillow that wasn't so large and firm Might suggest a sign on the building or in front of it, as it took a little while to figure out if I was at the correct place
Richard (10/5): First Hermann MO trip!! - Great room. Shower pressure a little soft but oberall great place.
Janet (8/5): - It was a challenge at first to identify the building. The unit was very clean. The kitchen had nice accessories. The bed was uncomfortable. There wasn’t any cream for the coffee. Light switches were confusing. And you could hear the neighbors in other rooms.
Lisa (10/5): Overall, a great place for a short stay. We were just passing through and wanted something different than a hotel night - Big open space for kitchen n. Clean and new. Bed mattress was not good. Bowed into the middle. No place to put your shower items in the claw tub/shower
evba (10/5): Loved the room. - The room was fantastic and the location was good to explore the surrounding area. We would stay here again. The room was warm and to access the temperature you had to contact the owners (text, phone....) as you could not adjust it in the room. It was a smart thermostat that was behind a plastic lock cover.
Staci (10/5): - The property was very well decorated and appointed with anything you would need. It was clean and had all sorts of toiletries that you might need, which was a nice bonus. I felt safe walking outside at night with my dog as the area was very quiet.
Jarred (10/5): Best place we stayed on our entire trip! - We booked The Mercantile on the Katy Trail as a last minute, on a whim stay during our family road trip. We couldn't believe how amazing the property was when we arrived. Every detail was thought of, and what an amazing place to stay! It was by far the best place we stayed during our multi-state road trip. Highly recommend to anyone!!!
Patrice (10/5): -
Rene (8/5): Lovely vintage rooms. Quiet area. Owner very generous and helpful. - Beautiful building. Vintage furnishings. Very clean. Lovely extra touches. Olga was very accommodating and made every effort to make me feel welcome. Felt a bit remote. Air conditioning difficult to regulate. Oven would not heat.
Etherton (10/5): -
Teri (10/5): An opulent boutique hotel experience NOT to be missed! - An incredible 5-Star Boutique Hotel experience...Something you are not likely to find in Missouri! The suite was well appointed with original and repro furnishing to match the ambiance of the Vaudeville era. The extra amenities for guests were richly orchestrated for travelers exploring either Hermann or taking a break from the Katy trail. Everything from a refrigerator stocked with water and condiments to a selection of boutique bath soaps and personal cleansers all the way to fresh fruit and even a frozen pizza in the freezer for bike/foot travelers along the trail who might encounter inclement weather and unlikely to proceed into Hermann for provisions during their stay. This sort of ambiance and attention to detail is very rare in accommodations these days and should not be missed! McKittrick is a couple of miles north of Hermann and across the river from the conveniences of a city. McKittrick is an old Missouri river town so its a bit removed from modernity, however, if you have a vehicle or don't mind the extra distance its super quiet and incredibly relaxing. Additionally, The Mercantile is not staffed and reliant on full electronic access so it has a more AirBnB feel to the guest on-boarding experience.
Yvonne (10/5): - Nice quiet area with open concept space inside.
Blake (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful place. Very clean. Loved all the little extras they put for us.
Elizabeth (10/5): - Our stay was amazing! We loved being near Katy Trail yet close to Hermann Wine/shopping activities. The property was beautiful & clean!
Shelby (8/5): - Very clean and comfortable they provided a lot of amenities but was a little further from the town of Hermann.
DeWayne (10/5): - The Mercantile was a fantastic stay. Everything was five star. The Katie Trail made for excellent biking and walking. Next time I’m gonna rent an E bike.
Kathleen (10/5): - This property was perfect! The hosts were very accommodating. Historic property was very well restored with modern conveniences and very clean.
Maria (10/5): Fantastic - Our room was beautiful, clean, and very comfortable! The easy access to the Katy trail was fantastic and the short drive into Herman was ideal.
Liz (10/5): Excellent spot for cyclists on the Katy Trail! - Just about everything! This is a very cyclist friendly spot on the Katy Trail! We were pleasantly surprised with the space. There was a complete, well stocked kitchen in addition to bedroom, bathroom and living room. We were able to walk to a grocery store to cook a meal! There was also washer and dryer. I don't like self check-in. It is just my personal bias.
Beverly (10/5): Exceptional - Nothing
Mc (10/5): Comfy and Cozy - Very clean and comfortable N/A
Daniel (10/5): - This is an amazing stop for anyone riding the Katy (or anyone visiting Hermann). We found it a perfect stop at the end of the long day of riding. It was right off the trail and they made it easy (so we didn't have to go out that day). The communication was great; the place was lovely. We would absolutely stay here anytime I'm visiting this area.
Bruce (7/5): Great, but........... - Beautifully furnished and maintained. Very thoughtful amenities (various soaps, shampoos, cooking gear, etc). The location on the Katy Trail is perfect. You can tell that much though and effort was put into this little apartment. Bed pillows! WAY too big..can't sleep with them. They are very high quality, but far too thick...bring your own if you can. Also, someone lives above the apartment, and the noise of their footsteps woke us up several times. The bedroom is all hard surfaces and boomy. I used good earplugs, but it wasn't enough.
Barbara (9/5): Superb - Air conditioning got cold and we had no control.
Courtney (10/5): Exceptional -
Marcy (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful accommodations, very clean and comfortable
Elizabeth (10/5): Exceptional -
Jessica (10/5): - Olga was so attentive and kind. The small details and nice touches with the amenities in the room were so cute and accommodating! We definitely want to return. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Cliffy (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice place and great staff
Taniya (10/5): Great luxury place loved it - It’s was very clean,beautiful, and had lots of accessories to help your stay be even better, they had coffee,cups. Just about everything except you do need to bring ur own groceries and detergent of course.
Jen (10/5): Great stay and highly recommend. - Very convenient and great location. Away from the crowds but still close very close to the festivities. The property was very clean, and had everything we needed. Perfect for a weekend trip to Hermann or for a stop on your Katy Trail adventure. This will be our go to property in the future. Walls are thin and could hear the noise from others staying in the building.
Laura (10/5): Exceptional - Great location only a few steps from the Katy trail and only a mile or two to Hermann. Nice firepit area and it was a quiet/peaceful location. Inside is clean, cute & cozy. Everything you need for a stay is provided and the owner is responsive and friendly. Will definitely return!
Linda (10/5): Will definitely stay there again if we visit Hermann again. - Very clean and so comfortable. Needs a full length mirror.
Lynch (10/5): Exceptional -
Donna (8/5): Very good -
Quick (10/5): Exceptional - My teenage daughter and I were riding bikes on the KATY trail - this elegant property is right along the trail. The only thing which would be helpful is a better sign for exactly where the property is. Just a simple sign would be useful.
Drew (10/5): Exceptional -
Angel (10/5): Looking for a vacation small town resort…look no further!! - I cannot say enough about The Mercantile! When we opened the door we were greeted by an amazing smell!! You walk in and everything is clean and very welcoming.!! The owner ensures that you feel like you are at a resort. There is nothing that has been not thought about … from the bathroom spray to the first aid kit (both were needed for our visit) I was very impressed… and you will be too. It’s also the perfect distance from Herman and right on the Katy Trail if biking! N/a
Tara (9/5): Superb - The unit was adorable and the owner stocked it full of everything you would need. Beds were a bit hard. The building is old and we could hear everything from the guest upstairs, definitely not quiet.
Eskew (10/5): Absolutely Fantastic - Beds were absolutely fantastic and great shower it was super clean and cozy. i have nothing to criticize. Would 100% come back
kim (10/5): - Rental and suite were very nice. They did a great job renovating the mercantile. Only downside was the area was pretty rundown. It was right on the katy trail so if you bike, it would be awesome. Price was a lot cheaper than in Hermann too.
David (10/5): Best accommodations on the Katy Trail - Located feet from the Kady Trail, these luxurious apartments are probably the best accommodations on the trail network. They are equipped with laundry facilities, kitchen, basic food items (coffee, eggs, bread, etc.). The owner lives nearby and is very responsive. Temperature control is handled remotely but not a big deal.
Kaplan (10/5): Great - Right on the Katy trail. Incredible property with immaculate suite and attentiveness to details.
Tabitha (10/5): Exceptional -
Dan (10/5): This is the perfect property for anyone biking on the Katy trail. Extremely well appointed, full ki - Our room was large, very comfortable and very well appointed. Communication was excellent. The location was perfect for us as we were biking the Katy Trail and the property is right on the trail. No issues, everything was great!
Terri (10/5): - Loved the Vaudeville Suite! It was beautiful, unique, and comfortable. We can't wait to come again!
Cynthia (10/5): - This property was sooo well furnished. It had everything you could need. The design was fantastic! We love the boutique style Vrbo’s/hotels! It is a memorable experience. The hosts were so accommodating and responded so quickly with our questions! We really can’t wait to come back!
Martin (10/5): Exceptional -
Jessica (10/5): - We stayed in the Vaudeville suite. The room was absolutely gorgeous and we really appreciated how well stocked it was. They had pretty much any toiletry you could need plus a few snacks and drinks. The only downside was that we were woken in the middle of the night by people in another room walking by in the hallway. It would be nice if the rooms had more soundproofing to keep from being disturbed. Other than that it was a great place to stay.
Dawn (9/5): Superb -
Emma (10/5): Excellent - The property was beautiful and had so many sweet little touches like little snacks and robes. We were so happy with the accommodations and would absolutely come back!
Forrest (10/5): Will stay at this property again. - Very beautiful and comfortable property. Amenities were excellent, the owner thought of everything anyone might need. Same as above
Fritz (10/5): Posh, lovely space tucked away by the Katy Trail. I will be staying there again. - The property was amazing. Newly renovated right on the Katy Trail. Very posh modern setup reminiscent of a New York loft. The decor and high ceiling really opened up the space. Loved it. Nothing was bad at all. The beautiful clawfoot tub was amazing but honestly needs a handle to get in and out but I expressed my suggestions to the owner. Nothing bad just my personal preference.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Impeccably clean. Nice place.
David (10/5): Best accomodation on the Katy Trail by far! - These units are like something out of Architectural Digest. They are very spacious and well equipped. They included a full kitchen, washer/dryer, food/coffee supplies, and a smart TV that allowed me to watch the NBA finals. Olga and her team are the best. The location is basically right on the Katy trail which is convenient. Food shopping is about a ten minute walk, but restaurants are in town about two miles away. There is extremely limited cab service so plan ahead.
Andrew (10/5): The total immersion in a bygone era if you like or Stream your favorite media thru a wonderful fi/ Audio Visual st - The merging of fantastic period floors , doors and molding with immaculate modern conveniences in all aspects of suite Some area residents hoarding containers
Brent (10/5): - We loved everything about the stay! This is easily the best place we stayed at, especially considering the price. The room was unique and the fact that the building was a historic. The hostess was very responsive to our few requests. They thought of any all the amenities. I guarantee, if you forgot something while traveling, they have it! We will definitely be back to the next time we are through the area!
Doug (10/5): Exceptional -
lauren (10/5): - Ten outta ten!! Olga and Monica were incredible hosts, the property was incredible, and we had the best sleep of our lives. The decor was wonderful and they provided incredible products, robes, and a luxury claw foot tub. Extra bonus is that there is a wonderful local bike rental company, called PEDEGO is located at the same site, ask for Paola!
Baker (10/5): Exceptional - Comfortable bed The price was a little high for the length of time we stayed.
Jill (10/5): AMAZING! - The Mercantile is amazing! We stayed in the Vaudeville Suite and it is a beautiful space! The location is perfect. It’s just a hop skip and jump away from the wineries and right on the Katy Trail. We will definitely be back!
Kohnen (10/5): Exceptional -
