History comes alive in this quaint location just 18 minutes from Hermann & Washington!
Your suite is located across the street from the train tracks (yes there are trains and yes they blow their horns 24 hours a day) and a 2 minute walk from the river; you can experience trains, tugboats and barges! The Missouri 340 runs right past our lovely town and many canoeists will be camped on our shores! The Back Door Guest Suite is a haven for your getaway that will have you relaxed and revitalized!

You have access to your entire apartment. There are steps to the basement, but the basement is locked and private. You have access to the back deck with cafe table and chairs, the firepit and the Weber grill.
Our downtown is basically one block so it is very easy to walk around to all the shops, visit the riverfront and levee walk, check out the Colter Memorial, watch the boats on the river while enjoying a bonfire or watch the trains go by! You can walk uptown too, but it is all uphill from downtown, and then it is all downhill to come back to your suite!!!
Free parking is located in front of the building on the street.
You have a contactless entry with the secure keypad on the entry door. We will respect your privacy or we will join you for a beer or conversation in passing. I am only a text or phone call away!
The suite is accessed through the back door of a 1905 historic storefront building in the downtown storefront district full of shops and cool places to visit! You are within walking distance of Wolf & Ferry Wine Bar, Coco's Mexican restaurant, The Walt movie theatre, Zia's yoga studio, Lizzie Lu's and Elizabeth's gift shops, Astral Glass glass blowing studio, Lang-a-Tang deli, Paddlestop brewery and paddling adventures on the Missouri river, Pinckney Bend Distillery and the New Haven levee walk on the Missouri River! You can also walk the New Haven stairs right across the street from the building and find yourself at Seek Coffee, serving coffee and cocktails! Nestled between the railroad track (yes! we have trains and they blow their horns) and Missouri River, (with daily barges) New Haven offers so much to do while being quaint and serene!
You have a private parking spot behind our building or you can park across the alley or in front of the building and walk around. Access is through the back door on the alley. This is a walking downtown, 1 block and a little extra will have you busy all day, if you want! After that you need a car to access the surrounding towns of Hermann, Rosebud, Washington & Augusta. There is a Lyft driver that can be hired to get you to Hermann.
We are directly across the street from the train tracks. The trains come through 24 hrs/day and they blow their horns every time they come through.
And we provide ear plugs for sleeping if you are in need! No smoking inside or on the porch. Please respect our space and enjoy yourself!
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Homey, cute, and comfy
We really enjoyed our stay! We loved how creative the layout and decorations were. The place has everything you’d need and expect to find. The bed is super comfy! The host was very responsive. The cafe next door has excellent sandwiches and coffee (but it’s closed on Sundays). Don’t expect much from the “river walk”. It’s really just a sidewalk not more than a block and a half long. New Haven is close to Hermann, so we went there and rented e-bikes and rode the Katy Trail. Super fun! If you’re looking for a place in this region, I would definitely recommend Zia.
