Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Helen and Max from Tauranga, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand on 07/31/2024 11:08 PM: Jerry is a great host. Kind and considerate. We had a lovely room with a very comfortable bed. Great shower. Jerry welcomed us with a cold drink, entertained us with local tales and his very interesting and varied career. He helped us out with laundry, cooked us a delicious breakfast, took us to the medical centre for a case of poison ivy, and then to get medicine. When we discovered a flat tyre as we were leaving he immediately helped us. A great host - don’t miss Jerry’s place on your Katy Trail adventure. (Helen and Max Mason from New Zealand - we have spent the last 2 months cycling 1,870 miles before our son’s wedding in Arkansas.- happy trails!) Katy Junction B&B Lauren from Richmond Heights on 04/28/2024 02:42 PM: Last weekend I stayed at Katy Junction B&B owned and operated by Jerry Selbach in Pilot Grove, just off the Katy trail. I mentioned to Jerry Billy from Yukon, OK on 04/29/2024 10:19 AM: Jerry is indeed an awesome host. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Ashley B from Lohman, MO on 04/22/2024 11:20 AM: The Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove is an awesome stop on the Katy Trail and I'm so happy we stayed there! The owner Jerry Selbach is a kind hearted host who sat with us and told us tales of Pilot Grove and of his life. The room was super comfortable and a good respite for my husband who was biking the trail. The breakfast was delicious and the night before we got to try some vanilla ice cream with pepper jelly and it was amazing! Thank you for the wonderful stay, Jerry!! Pilot Grove Katy Junction B&B Kelly K from Warrensburg on 03/14/2024 06:40 AM: The Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove is a rare jewel in small town accommodations because there are few places of that caliber in the small towns between bigger cities. It's also a good stopping point in that long stretch between Sedalia and Boonville if you need an overnight break. Owner Jerry Selbach is delightful, a lifelong Pilot Grove resident who knows both the local history and everyone in town. We had a wonderful stay in comfortable beds and hot breakfast, with extra treats like a special co*cktail slush and vanilla ice cream with pepper jelly. So yummy! You can also make arrangements for him to provide dinner which is great because there aren't many options in town except Casey's Pizza. Highly recommend. Anonymous on 03/14/2024 07:18 AM: Katarina's Homestyle Cafe and Deon's are options as well. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Wade from St. Peters, MO on 10/27/2023 10:19 AM: This is a great place to stay along the trail with an outstanding host. Jerry works to ensure you are not only taken care of and comfortable, but that you have a great experience. From his warm welcoming to meeting any need I had for biking the trail, he is flexible and makes sure your time with him is memorable. I can say that there is no other B&B I have experienced with such a kind soul. Already looking forward to a return trip in the future. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Sheryl Pilgrim from Tyler TX on 10/27/2023 07:58 AM: For a hiker, the long stretch between Sedalia and Pilot Grove is tough; a marathon at 26 miles. I was pretty wrecked when I limped into Jerry’s cozy home-away-from home. The kind welcome and lovely room soothed my exhausted soul. Jerry ministers without intruding, which to me, is the perfect host. Great night’s sleep in a very comfy room, then a jolly home-cooked breakfast to send me on my way. Katy Junction B&B restored me, both physically with a wonderful room and breakfast, and also mentally with Jerry’s kindness. He made me laugh, too and that’s a great way to start the day! Trail Ride - September 20-22, 2023 Mark from Bentonville on 09/29/2023 06:53 AM: Enjoyed a memorable end-to-end ride on September 20-22. Stayed with Jerry at the Katy B&B in Pilot Grave (second stay) and Joey at the Victorian house in McKittrick. Both great lodging choices and each have a great breakfast available. We also learned once again you need to plan ahead for finding food in that stretch between Booneville and McKittrick. Seems there are fewer businesses open each year (sad). We were fortunate to have someone give us some fruit in Hartsburg. Saw plenty of wildlife. More snakes this year which I really enjoy seeing. Even saw 2 copperheads. Deby from Dallas on 09/29/2023 11:52 AM: You might not have heard about "Happy Trails", a new enterprise run be Rachel Collins in Tebbets. They don't have a facility, but will leave a wonderful sack lunch or dinner in a frig inside the Turner Katy Trail Shelter. The key is available to get inside. We had a great lunch, and there was so much food that we were able to share with other folks sitting around the picnic table at the Tebbets Trailhead. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Kelsey Arnold from St. Louis on 09/04/2023 04:57 PM: Katy Junction was a great stay for my first night on the trail on 9/1/23. Jerry takes such great care of his guests! I ended up getting pizza for dinner at Casey's and Jerry had made banana pudding to have for dessert that was delicious! He also asked about dietary restrictions and made a vegetarian breakfast for me of eggs, hash browns, coffee and toast that was just the fuel I needed to hit the trail. It was a comfortable place to stay with a secure place to store my bike. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove AJ from St. Louis on 07/18/2023 04:01 PM: Overdue to comment on our stay here. My wife and were here on 6/16 and were biking the trail. Jerry is a wonderful host, bed was comfortable and the room was clean. Breakfast was great the next morning and we were on our way. Jerry went way above and beyond that morning. We were only 3 miles west when we got a flat tire (our only one of the trip, btw). The head for my CO2 cartridge wasn't functioning (new one bought in Sedalia). One of us was going to ride back to Jerry's to see if we could borrow his floor pump, but we thought it would be a good idea to call first. He insisted on driving out to us with his pump...way above and beyond. He was out there shortly, we changed the tire and went on our way. Thanks, Jerry!!! Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove CurtM from Farmington AR on 07/07/2023 08:23 PM: Spent the evening of 6/20/23 at Katy Junction B&B. Jerry was a great host as always, and this B&B is most welcome after a long day's ride. My one regret is that I couldn't get to Pilot Grove from Clinton any earlier; will have to adjust the future itinerary somehow to spend a bit more time in Pilot Grove. Thanks again for being a super host. Katy Trail Junction B & B Curt S from Parkville,MO on 06/01/2023 10:43 AM: What a splendid experience to stay here after 62 miles of riding (Day 1) from Clinton. My Grandson and my first time riding the entire trail. Jerry’s knowledge of the area and history , and entertaining personality made this stay a 5 star + stay. Every detail of our stay made us feel welcomed and special. In a world where customer service is being replaced by voice machines and text messages Jerry stands out with extra ordinary service. To boot, Jerry is a great chef! From accommodating us with a late arrival, dietary restrictions, to loaning a few tools we had all the assistance needed. Needless to stay, we highly recommend the Katy Junction B & B and Jerry. He is also close to Arrow Rock ! Thanks Jerry for a great time.

Curt and Zeke Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Jim from Springdale ar on 05/26/2023 09:12 AM: Katy Junction B/B Jerry has a very nice place clean, relaxing a place that makes you feel like you’re home, a place across the street to eat very friendly people. I myself highly recommend Katy Junction B/B if I venture, back to Pilot Grove, I would definitely check with Jerry He’s a very friendly and knowledgeable guy. You will learn a lot about the trail from him. Thank you Jerry for the hospitality and the great breakfast.?? Anonymous on 05/26/2023 11:36 AM: ...a place across the street to eat very friendly people. Who da thought? Bill in Houston from Houston on 05/30/2023 01:04 PM: I thought the ribeye at Deon's tasted...different. :) Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Sharon from Lawton, ok on 09/19/2022 01:50 PM: This was my first time on Katy Trail but I was biking with some seasoned Katy Trail riders. They had booked with Jerry before and knew it to be a great place to stay. Jerry was a wonderful host, who not only fed us well, washed and stored our bikes, but also entertained us with some great stories. Highly recommend Katy Junction B&B. Marc from El Cajon, CA on 05/24/2023 06:57 PM: My brother and I stayed at the Katy Junction B&B for one night on our trek east on the trail. Jerry was super kind and very accommodating! We arrived after a couple of hours of riding in the rain - he made us a co*cktail, cleaned up our bikes for us and stored them in the garage, and made sure we were comfortable in the house. He also made us a nice breakfast before leaving in the morning. The price was very reasonable and the hospitality was fabulous. It's worth a stay! Thank you Jerry! David A from Alameda, CA on 05/25/2023 06:50 PM: I third Jerry & Katy Junction B&B. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove CScotty from College Station,TX on 05/30/2022 09:16 PM: Jerry is indeed a super host. He creates a full experience for guests through stories on local history, the trail and his many interesting patrons. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Brian Carman from Festus on 05/03/2022 11:32 AM: An amazing stay to say the least. Jerry is what I call a superhost, Casey's, katrina's and Deon's are .1 miles walking distance. Deon's is closed on Mondays and katrina's is open until 2pm so if you arrive later in the day can't go wrong with Casey's pizza, call ahead 30 minutes for fresh.or they always have by the slice. The Bed and Breakfast stay was comfortable and met other Great People. Big Breakfast, if you leave hungry it's Your fault. If there are enough mouths to be fed for dinner Jerry is kind enough to prepare. Great Food, environment and best of all People. Mike Buckley from Missoula, Montana on 05/07/2022 07:17 PM: My wife and I recently spend a wonderful evening at the Katy Junction B&B . Jerry not only provided a wonderful place to relax after a day of cycling he also cooked us two wonderful meals. If you have the opportunity to visit Pilot Grove make sure you stay with Jerry. You will not be disappointed. Barb & Jim from Cleveland Ohio on 05/09/2022 02:07 PM: We had the pleasure of staying at Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove April 27 (going west on KT) and May 1, 2022 (going east on KT). The B&B is clean, warm and comfy and very close to the trail. Bikes are stored in the locked garage behind the house. Jerry greeted us with chocolate covered strawberries and a drink our first night and provided orange chiffon pie for dessert the second. Both nights, he stayed for a while to chat and give us an overview of the area. Each morning, he made a hearty breakfast for us at the time we requested, and stayed to chat and see us off. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Sue Amorosi from Kirkland on 04/29/2022 04:26 PM: The best part about bicycling the Katy Trail is staying at places like the Katy Junction in Pilot Grove. Jerry restored my faith in humanity. He shared his love of Pilot Grove and the people that come through it. He has a good sense humor and knows when to give you some privacy. He works hard to take care of your needs. He is a very smart guy doing good in his community, before as a police officer and now as an inn keeper. A place not to miss! Sue and Dorothy ( Kirland, Washington) Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Pam from Los Alamos, NM on 04/22/2022 04:32 PM: We showed up at the Katy Junction B&B doorstep tired and wet. Thankfully, it is right off the trail. We had a phone number from the Katy Trail guidebook yet couldn't quite get through. However, there are several phone numbers on the front door and we connected in no time to Jerry. There was a room available and he immediately made us feel at home. His place is clean, cozy and comfortable. Jerry is an amazing man with a wealth of information at his fingertips. He made us a delicious breakfast in the morning of fruit, coffee, toast with jam and a cheese/ham omlette. We were ready to ride. I highly recommend his place. He goes above and beyond what is expected. Thank you,Jerry.? Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove MO CurtM-FTW from Fort Worth TX on 10/28/2021 09:49 PM: This is the third time I've stayed at Katy Junction B&B over the past few years, and what a great place and great host. Got in late due to a flat at MP 206, but Jerry graciously returned to the B&B as I dragged my sorry self into Pilot Grove. Lots of great conversation, a good night's sleep and a great breakfast. Jerry provided a wonderful perspective on the area and the types of Katy Trail travelers (at least those who transit Pilot Grove), all of which enabled me to see the KT in a new and more expansive way. A real ambassador for the trail, a real treasure for cyclists and Missouri. MaryAnn from IL on 11/02/2021 01:34 PM: My son and I were just finishing 140 miles of biking & camping the trail. We were treating ourselves a night at a B & B as the storms were plentiful! Katy Junction was just the place! Jerry was SO friendly and accommodating! My son had mentioned he liked chocolate milk, and at breakfast Jerry provided chocolate milk just for Jimmy! He as a wealth of information for local things to do, history and fun stories. His place was homey and we felt very comfortable. I would definitely recommend Katy Junction to others! We hope to return! He offers more such all you need to do is ask. Enjoy the ride! Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Steve from Bentonville on 10/18/2021 02:31 PM: Last minute booking, thought I was going to be camping out! Jerry was awesome! got me set up and shared some cool stories of the trail and surrounding area. Woke up refreshed and packed my bike up and came back in for a hearty breakfast. Loved the house, dining room, and the bedroom! Thanks Jerry! Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Paula, Megan, Casey, Lauren from Bethel, and Memphis on 10/09/2021 01:33 AM: We began our trail ride in Clinton, and Jerry's Katy Junction was our first night stop. We were plagued with a reoccurring flat tire until Sedalia, so it was near dusk when we made it to Jerry's. His graciousness began with co*cktails and chocolate covered strawberries that were a welcome treat! We enjoyed visiting with Jerry while we ate Casey's pizza for supper. Our bikes were safe in his garage, we washed our clothes for a small fee, and our beds were inviting and comfortable. Jerry served us fruit and biscuits with meat gravy for breakfast and filled our bottles with ice water. We felt pampered and ready for our second day's travels! Thanks Jerry! Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Randy from New Mexico from Albuquerque on 06/29/2021 10:03 PM: I stayed at the Katy Junction B&B on June 14. I reserved it only the week before to avoid camping for all five nights of my Katy Trail east-to-west ride. Boy, did I luck out! Jerry is a wonderful host. His place in Pilot Grove is clean and comfy. Furthermore, he washed all my clothes and let me work on my bike in his garage. I slept well and had a wonderful breakfast before departing for my last day. I enjoyed visiting with Jerry about the area history and the Katy Trail. His advice on what to expect on the Sedalia reroute was very helpful. I can't say enough. Thanks Jerry. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Rick G from St Louis on 06/24/2021 10:52 AM: We took the afternoon train to Sedalia, then shuttled to the Katy Junction for our first night before our 3 day ride last week. Jerry greeted us with cookies and had a lively conversation about the B&B before turning in. When we got up Jerry greeted us with coffee and made a delicious breakfast. The house is great and bed was comfortable. Jerry went out of his way to make it a great stay. Thanks Pilot Grove R Bruce W Laubach from Williamsburg, VA on 06/08/2021 10:06 AM: A couple of weeks ago while riding on the trail I passed through Pilot Grove, the first time I camped at the city park. On my return trip, I opted to stay at the Katy Junction B&B. While I could have kept on riding that day I had decided to stay there because I had had several long conversations with Jerry Selbach the owner. He is a very pleasant person and always ready to help users of the Katy Trail. We had a lot of time to talk that afternoon, we traded stories about the history of this section of MO, and about VA where I come from. I would definitely stay at the B&B again. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Tim & The Katy Trail Wanderers from Girard KS on 05/25/2021 09:52 AM: Our little bike riding group rode the Katy Trail in its entirety, as well as the Rock Island. With stays in St Charles, Hermann, Jefferson City, Pilot Grove and Winsor. The Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove was by far the best. It is right by the trail, so it is easy to find. And there is no riding in traffic. Once there we found the owner operator Jerry to be the most gracious host. He is personal and willing to help with anything you could possibly ask for. The garage where we were able to secure our bikes was equipped with tools and some spare parts. The house is very clean and nicely decorated. Jerry can make a hot meal for you should you need it. After our long day of riding mostly in the rain, we needed it. The meal was fantastic. After supper Jerry even washed our dirty laundry for a more than reasonable price. In the morning we were greeted to hot coffee and another great meal. After our stay I can say I have a new friend in Jerry. If I am ever back in the area, I am willing to go out of my way to stay there. Thank you, Jerry, for making this stay something to remember. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Mark B from Indiana on 04/29/2021 08:41 PM: Staying at the Katy Junction was a welcome reprieve after a long day in the saddle. Jerry welcomed me with a cold drink after locking my bike in the garage for the night, and then made me his famous chocolate -banana pudding with a cherry on top. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove A&A from St. Louis on 04/27/2021 10:45 AM: My husband and I stayed here with my in-laws while biking the Katy Trail. Jerry was very attentive and thoughtful. He went out of his way to tell us what we wanted to know about the area. He knows all about the town's history, which was very interesting! We would definitely stay here again!! Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove John and Barb from OCEAN SPRINGS on 12/13/2020 08:28 PM: We spent eight days at the Katy Junction B&B. It was great! The house is very tastefully decorated and had a very comfortable bed. Almost felt like home! Jerry made sure our every need was attended to. Really enjoyed the historial coffee table books! Great Bed & Breakfast in Pilot Grove Jennie from Omaha, NE on 10/21/2020 11:58 AM: My husband and I recently biked the Katy Trail for the first time 10/14-10/18 and we had a great time. We stayed at our first ever Bed & Breakfast: Katy Junction. Jerry is one of the nicest people. He was so welcoming and personable. We visited with him for hours because we wanted to, not because we had to. He gives you your space, but also enjoy knowing his guests. He made us a great breakfast in the morning before he headed down the trail. B&B was clean and he has a bike rack he made in his garage to keep the bikes safe. We had no issues. Would definitely stay here again. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Dave from Minneapolis on 09/07/2020 03:39 PM: Had a wonderful stay with Jerry. His home is comfortable and clean, breakfast was fantastic, and the bed quite comfortable as well. The thing that is special about Jerry’s B&B is Jerry. He genuinely loves spending time with his guests. The evening of my stay, he picked up a birthday cake for another guest, and we had a delightful little party on his back patio. Thanks, Jerry! Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Marybeth from Kirkwood on 06/16/2020 03:58 PM: We just completed our annual ride on the KATY, usually 3-4 nights. Stayed with Jerry again, always a pleasure. Good food, good information, good conversation, great accomodations. We always try to stay with Jerry, just depends on our mileage, and which direction we are heading. Thanks Jerry, hope to see ya soon. Jerry from Pilot Grove Katy Junction on 06/17/2020 04:08 PM: Marybeth Its always nice to get to see you each time, and that I can make your stay just like being home and enjoying the evening. Been told that Deon's will reopen on the 29th. Hope that that even ones has a safe trip on the trails this summer. Amy & Rob from NY on 08/18/2020 07:10 AM: We just finished our "thru" ride of the Katy Trail. Our first night a group of 4 of us stayed with Jerry at Katy Junction B&B. What a lovely time we had. Jerry was so personable and kind, he immediately made us all feel at home. His home is wonderful, super clean and comfortable. Everything you need is right there. He gave us ice cold lemonade when we got there made sure we got our bikes and gear stowed away. We had great conversation with him all evening, and he made us an AMAZING dinner, and breakfast in the morning. He is warm and caring, and certainly cares about what he is doing. Please stay with Jerry if you're in Pilot Grove, you won't regret it! Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Anthony from Maine on 11/27/2019 11:10 AM: Enjoyed my stay here very much and Jerry was a wonderful host. Had the house to myself, slept well and it was very quiet and peaceful. Room and bathroom were very clean. Prepared an excellent breakfast and shared some very interesting local history. Will definitely be back as I want to hike the entire trail in the future. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove John from State College PA on 04/13/2019 12:13 PM: Our group stayed at the KATY Junction B&B recently and it was awesome. Jerry is the nicest and most helpful person you’ll know. He certainly knows what excellent customer service is. Rooms are stylishly appointed, clean with comfortable beds, and the breakfast was surperb. He’s a great chef. Jerry is also the town’s historian (official or unofficial, he knows the area). Stop and stay a spell. Ride safe. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Marianne, Peggy & Jen from Shepherdstown, WV on 10/09/2018 08:30 AM: We had a wonderful stay with Jerry on our girl's trip along the Katy Trail! He prepared a delicious hearty dinner and breakfast for us, entertained us with local history stories, and helped us get our bikes cleaned up after a rainy day on the trail. He has a lovely, clean and comfortable b&b. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Donna and Mike Connelly from Maineville, OH on 09/03/2018 08:43 PM: Jerry was a great host. He greeted us with a hose and cleaned our bikes for us. He had interesting stories and is an awesome cook. Our room was comfortable and quiet. He went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable. We would stay again, for sure. Anonymous from Texas on 10/05/2018 06:43 PM: Just stayed with Jerry last week. Great guy. He will run out in the middle of the night to rescue folks. Would definitely stay with his B&B again. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Anonymous on 11/03/2017 08:31 AM: We stayed here because of the positive comments. Jerry's B&B house is about 100 years old, as are many of the B&B's across the country. However, Jerry's smells like it's 100 years old. It could definitely stand a thorough cleaning. I was even dubious about the cleanliness of the sheets and towels. Jerry told us he likes to provide everything he can think of for his guests. He did provide everything, but everything was tainted with dirt, especially his running stream of racist remarks. I will never stay here again. BikerBoy from Maryville, IL on 11/03/2017 03:10 PM: Wow, I can't believe I just read that. I have stayed at nearly all the B&Bs on the trail, and Jerry's is one of the best. The place is kept very clean compared to many, more modern homes. The wood floors and the staircase all appear to be original, but in very good shape. And I have never heard a negative word come from Jerry (who sounds uncannily like Paul Harvey). CurtM from Fort Worth TX on 11/06/2017 01:00 PM: Having stayed at Jerry's B&B a few days ago on Oct 30th, Anonymous's comments are totally unfounded. Jerry was friendly, accommodating and gracious, and his home was clean and inviting. On the morning of my departure, he even caught up with his other Oct 30 guests down the trail to make sure they got the items they'd left behind. Anyone who signs a critical comment on a public forum as "Anonymous" has no merit. Mike Hobart from Russellville KY on 11/07/2017 12:55 PM: Whoever “Anonymous” is; has really misrepresented a wonderful person and a great B&B. I stayed with Jerry last week and the place was very clean, had a comfortable bed and did NOT smell. Jerry is a retired police officer and Air Force reservist who has not only served his country but community. He loves his country, his community and his fellow man. I met him for the first time in my life last week and after staying with him and indulging in numerous conversations; I never heard him say anything that could be interpreted as racist. I’m sorry that someone has cruelly and anonymously attacked a fine human being and a great B&B. He has had hundreds if not thousands of visitors and most of them are repeat visitors. I would not hesitate to stay there again and if you give any credence to Anonymous I would suggest that you read on down further and see if you don’t find positive review after positive review. Dr. C. Michael Hobart ArkyKenny on 11/08/2017 09:22 PM: I just wanted to be another person to un-Anonymously say the Anonymous got it wrong. Jerry is a great host with a great place. KatyFan from Chesterfield, Mo on 02/24/2018 07:31 AM: Plan to stay with Jerry in April. Will give you my objective view. John Clark from Jackson Heights,NYC on 02/25/2018 11:14 AM: Honey, the term "racist" has lost its meaning years ago... please try to be a little more clever next time. 1of3KatyTrailRider from Kirkwoo on 05/27/2018 01:25 PM: I just read the last comment from Anonymous and was a appalled. Whoever this Anonymous is, is greatly mistaken. There were 3 of us who stayed at Jerry's B&B first part of Oct 2017. Our stay was wonderful! The place was clean,the pie and breakfast prepared by Jerry was to die for. Jerry, as a host and person, was kind,generous,told great stories. I would recommend Jerry's B&B in a heatbeat. Globe Hotel Bed and Breakfast from Hartsburg on 08/05/2018 05:01 PM: Hey there! I just have to make a comment here. We have had hundreds of guests over the past few years who have typically spent the night before with Jerry in Pilot Grove. Not once has anyone ever said anything about the cleanliness of his house nor has there ever been any mention of him making racial comments. I'm sorry, anonymous, if you had a bad experience, and frankly, I'm baffled at where your perspective might be coming from. Perhaps if you weren't anonymous there might be some way for Jerry to make amends with you. Leaia Clervi Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Chris and Becky Wagner from Topeka Kansas on 07/14/2018 03:34 PM: Jerry was very nice I had called him prior to ask if he would be able to watch our truck while we were gone for 4 days on the trailer and he watched it Faithfully every day it was just really nice to know we came back to our vehicle not being vandalized so I wanted to thank Jerry for his hospitality Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Chris and Becky Wagner from Topeka Kansas on 07/14/2018 03:33 PM: Jerry was very nice I had called him prior to ask if he would be able to watch our truck while we were gone for 4 days on the trailer and he watched it Faithfully every day it was just really nice to know we came back to our vehicle not being vandalized so I wanted to thank Jerry for his hospitality Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Geri Reuss from st. louis on 06/30/2018 03:07 PM: this was our second time staying with Jerry and it was great. He sprayed down are bikes from the soft trail, had great meals comfortable and clean house. Plus, Jerry is a great story teller :) Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Amy from St Louis on 06/23/2018 06:49 PM: Jerry was a great host as he met us at the front door, helped us store our bikes, showed us around, and made sure we were well taken care of. He makes a great breakfast and takes pride in what he does. The house is clean and so comfortable. We loved our stay! Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Kathleen Bullock from Oolitic, IN on 06/20/2018 03:47 PM: My dad and I stayed at the Katy Junction B&B Saturday June 9th. After an incredibly hot day on the trail filled with flat tires and mechanical difficulties Jerry's B&B was a sight for sore eyes. He brought us ice water as we sat in the garden to cool off. He helped us get our bikes into storage once we had recovered from the heat. We stayed in the room with twin beds and it was perfect. We lucked out for dinner, Jerry's church was having their annual fish fry and invited us. It was a great dinner and great company. Sunday morning Jerry made omelettes for us. They were delicious! A great meal to start another day of biking! Thanks Jerry :) Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Dan from Lake Saint Louis, MO on 05/31/2018 08:32 PM: My son and I stayed with Jerry and I can’t say enough good things. We rode this past Memorial Day weekend and we were in rough shape from the heat when we arrived. He helped us get our bikes into storage and he continuously looked for ways to help us cool down and get comfortable. Jerry will fill you with some good stories as he is an Airforce vet, retired police officer, active member in his community, and just a very caring person. Thank you Jerry. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Barry Bade from Mexico, MO on 10/04/2017 10:12 AM: The Katy Junction B&B is definitely a great place to stay. Jerry is a warm, friendly, helpful host who goes out of his way to make his guests feel welcome and comfortable. He's a fine cook and even had chocolate/banana pie waiting after we returned from getting dinner at Casey's. I recommend the Katy Junction B&B to everyone and would plan to stay here again if I were to spend days on the trail again. Thanks, Jerry! Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Donna Shaw from Boulder CO on 09/18/2017 05:17 PM: Jerry has thought of everything!! Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Francis Jansen from Rogersville on 09/16/2017 03:56 PM: This was our first stop after 25 miles from Sedalia to Pilot Grove. Jerry, the host is the consummate host/chef! Of the 3 places we stayed on our 4 day trek from Sedalia to Jefferson City I enjoyed his breakfast the most! It was hearty and delicious! We are so glad that he has opened his beautiful home to those needing a place for the night from the Trail! The bed was comfortable and the room had everything we needed. We used the hall bathroom which was well stocked with fresh towels and a blow dryer. We would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone else traveling along the KT Trail. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Bill from Maryland Heights, MO on 08/18/2017 11:28 AM: I recently stayed at the Katy Junction with my 9 year old son as we traversed the Katy. The accommodations were comfortable and our host was wonderful! Everything was just great!! And, as an added bonus, Pilot Grove has a great community park complete with a swimming pool. We just arrived too late to take advantage of that!! A very sincere thanks for a wonderful stay!! Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Pamela Carpenter from Independence, VA on 11/16/2016 05:09 PM: Absolutely amazing experience, as usual! The house is lovely and Jerry is a wonderful, gracious host! This was our second year at Katy Junction B&B and it won't be our last. From beautiful accommodations to Jerry's wonderful cooking and company, this is hands down one of my favorite vacation spots. Thanks, Jerry! John Brackman from Kansas City on 08/01/2017 07:45 PM: Jerry is not only a great cook, he goes out-of-the-way to help out. I'm walking the trail and Jerry picked me up at Boonville and then drove me to Clifton City so I could walk to his B&B and then finish me walk the next day back to my car. He also dried out my very wet clothes having been caught in an unexpected rain shower. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Tom & Amy Wenger from New Cumberland, PA on 07/19/2017 08:07 AM: Great stay with a charming friendly host in a quaint town! Very comfortable and accommodating. Mark Kreyche from Tustin, CA on 07/22/2017 12:07 AM: Hi There, We're planning to ride the katy in October. We're tall guys, 6'7". Does the Katy Junction B&B have longer beds to accomodate taller people? Thanks, Anonymous on 07/23/2017 08:22 AM: Dude, CA or Klondike kings are sparse here in MO on the trail. You just adjust an sleep diagonal in a regular king. Or just do a bag on the ground at a park an you don't need to worry. Are you under 30 or something? Wow! Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove JOHN & JUDY OGLIORE from SEATTLE, WA on 06/10/2017 08:31 PM: What a nice place to stay right off the Katy Trail. Host Jerry was wonderful. He is a great source for history of the area and a great cook as well. The rooms were very comfortable and quiet. The place was historic and charming and what a great breakfast, Thank you Jerry! Anonymous from Kansas on 06/27/2017 08:26 PM: My sister and I just stayed with Jerry on Sunday evening the 25th of June and had the same experience. It was a great place to stay. Great location, nice facilities and great food! Michael Fuller from Charlotte, MI on 07/04/2017 03:50 PM: I stayed at the Katy Junction B&B on June 26 and had a pleasant time. The breakfast was great. Jerry helps however he can. BikerBoy from Maryville, IL on 07/10/2017 02:51 PM: I stayed at Katy Trail B&B last week. Jerry continues to provide excellent service and showed me all the updates he has done to the place since the last time I stayed. Love the conversations we have! Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove G. Hodges on 06/17/2017 01:31 PM: Jerry (the owner) is a great guy that helped us out of a jam. He let us pitch our tent in the back yard of the b&b after we found out that there was a wedding reception at the city park that was going to last well past midnight. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Blue Tapp from St. Charles, MO on 04/30/2017 02:43 PM: We LOVED the Katy Junction B&B! We had planned to camp in the park but were less than thrilled with the yucky bathrooms when we got there. So we called Jerry at the last minute and booked a room for the night. We loved the house, comfy room and the wonderful screened in porch overlooking the Pilot Grove Trailhead (can't get any more conveniently located than that!). Jerry is a wonderful host and a fantastic cook. We enjoyed his company and his delicious breakfast. We'll definitely stay there again!! Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Jim & Cindy from Lees Summit, MO on 04/26/2017 12:08 PM: Had a great stay. Jerry had everything ready. The rooms are tastefully decorated and comfortable. Upstairs has two bedrooms and a second bathroom. The back yard has seating and tables which is very nice, but the front porch was our favorite. He even locked our bikes in his garage. Jerry is quite the cook and prepared a great dinner and breakfast. No complaints whatsoever. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Wayne from Seattle, Wa on 04/19/2017 11:08 AM: Excellent accommodations, great breakfast, the B&B was spotless and right on the trail. Jerry was a great host,, I really enjoyed my stay. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Amy from Kansas City on 10/18/2016 02:33 PM: Loved the house, very cute. Lot of rooms. Jerry was absent most of our stay. His sister took care of breakfast and collecting our money. Breakfast was biscuits and gravy and was delicious. The carpet in our room had not been vacuumed before we arrived. Lots of hair and bits of grass on it. The bathroom was not cleaned well. The bathmat in the tub was slimy, the faucet was still spotted with toothpaste from previous guests, and there was some paper in the bathroom trash. Beds were clean. Everything else looked good. Bikes were locked in the garage overnight for safe storage. Overall, it was a good stay. Gudie Cole from Tacoma WA on 01/18/2017 05:03 PM: Looking for one double room, 2 persons arrival Sept. 9 th one night Please send your accommodation availability and Price will there her bike storage? MidSouth from Rogersville on 01/19/2017 12:01 AM: You will need to contact the different lodging providers directly...they don't actually conduct business on this forum page. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Gary and Sharon from Prague Oklahoma on 10/10/2016 07:52 PM: Great place to stay. Jerry was very accommodating. He went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant and comfortable. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Marina & Derek from Olathe, KS on 10/04/2016 06:49 PM: Staying here reminded us of staying at a good friend's house. It was sooo hot out that day (107 heat index) and Jerry made last minute accommodations for another couple who had a change of plans about camping! Jerry is a great host and an excellent cook. I would recommend it! Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Tim Debbie and Jerrine from .ofallon. Mo and aurora Ill on 07/24/2016 09:18 PM: Jerry was very accommodating to our needs and very friendly Randy & Christine from Alton, IL on 07/31/2016 04:28 PM: Another thumbs up for the Katy Junction and Jerry. A very kind and helpful man. Breakfast was plentiful and good. Jerry and his Junction are gems of the western part of the trail. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Carol Wehrli from St. Louis on 06/20/2016 01:34 PM: What a pretty room with a bathroom next door! Bikes were locked up overnight in a big shed. The host, Jerry, was very helpful in finding a good place to eat at night and our cook for breakfast in the morning. Jeanne from Land O Lakes on 07/09/2016 04:41 PM: We had a great stay with Jerry as well. Great conversation and food! Highly recommended!! Barb&Tom from Iowa on 06/11/2016 07:39 PM: We are biking the trail and have stayed in 4 B&B on our trip. This is definitely the best! Jerry is so pleasant and accommodating. His breakfasts are awesome. Comfortable clean rooms. Bike storage in the garage. Good conversation on the front porch while you relax after the day on the trail. Went to Deon's for a burger. Everything right at the trailhead. Definitely enjoyed Katy Junction. Check it out!!! Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove B Center from Springdale, Arkansas on 05/30/2016 06:17 PM: Stayed one night with Jerry, amazing host with many great stories, the B&B is clean and rich with history. D from Stl on 05/30/2016 09:33 PM: Agreed. Stayed there last year. Best stop on our cross missouri trip. Highly recommended. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Petra Lynn Hofmann from Elmhurst, IL on 05/24/2016 08:39 PM: Pilot Junction is a pleasant little village along side the Katy Trail. Bike storage in a garage is the best I've encountered from St. Charles. The house and bedrooms are quite inviting. They are not overly decorated and present a pleasant home atmosphere. I visited Joyce's Quilt and Fabric Shop. Joyce Day is a wonderful person to talk with about her passion for quilting. Be sure to visit the 1892 Calaboose. Anonymous on 05/24/2016 09:24 PM: You mean Peticoat Junction?? Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Ken Foster from Denver, Colorado on 05/01/2016 07:56 AM: Very nice. Jerry stays busy, but we had time for conversation. Breakfast was delicious. The house is well done and very comfortable. Pilot Grove is a pretty little town. Thanks, Jerry, I will stay again. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Jim and Carole Onufrak from Dallas on 10/23/2015 09:51 AM: It's hard to say any more good about Jerry and his hospitality. We stayed Oct. 9th. and were plesenty overwelmed with our stay. Our room was great. Jerry was a welth of information. Breakfast was super. Deno's bar the night before was neat, a real down home bar and grill. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Michael Brown from Holts Summit on 10/21/2015 11:08 AM: My experience is similar to those previously posted. Jerry is a great host and was a friendly and welcoming face when my friend and I needed one. Coming in late off the trail, Jerry welcomed us in and made us feel right at home. Great place to stay for anyone needing lodging in this area or coming in off the Katy Trail. Hospitality was above and beyond. Wonderful experience. Highly recommended to anyone and everyone. Stone's throw away from Deon's Bar and Grill. I will definitely return. Thanks Jerry! Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Hollis Price from Jones, Oklahoma on 10/01/2015 07:42 PM: What a wonderful place to stay. The rooms were very nice. We cannot say enough nice things about our host Jerry. He filled us with stories as well as delicious food. He is an excellent chef. He even arranged an eclipse of the moon the night we were there. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Seaview from Missouri on 09/17/2015 03:14 PM: I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jerry's hospitality, food, and clean comfortable room & house. A great place to stay; you will feel right at home. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Keith on 06/07/2015 10:30 AM: Had a great stay at the Katy Junction B&B. Clean, comfortable, and friendly. Jerry was a great host and made a excellant breakfest to send me off in the morning. Highly recommended David Hilditch from St Louis on 06/09/2015 04:02 PM: First rate. Located about 200 ft from the trailhead. Jerry is so friendly and accommodating. Comfortable, clean rooms. Homey comfort in the living room. Great breakfast! Very affordable. Seaview on 09/17/2015 02:55 PM: Your host, Jerry, is wonderful. He makes you feel right at home; great breakfast; very comfortable bed; clean, neat, and pleasant home decor. I highly recommending staying there. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove bicycling nurse from Missouri on 09/17/2015 02:12 PM: Jerry was a fantastic host, from the moment we arrived he made us feel like an invited guest instead of a paying customer. With prior notice he fixed us a fantastic dinner at a very reasonable price. Breakfast the next morning was hearty home cooking. Nothing could have made our stay better. We were the only guest that evening so we had the place to ourselves with plenty of room. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Word of Life Bike Club from Greensburg, Pa on 08/28/2015 11:04 AM: Our group of 6 on a fund raising ride for Majesty Care Clinic could not have been happier with our comfortable bedding, awesome dinner and breakfast, secure bike storage, and most importantly, our wonderful host Jerry!!! Stay here if you have the chance, you will not be disappointed!! D on 09/08/2015 09:34 PM: Agreed. Stayed here in late May early June. Best place we stayed of the 3 nights we were out. Clean, comfortable, and a great host. Beth from Rogers, AR on 09/15/2015 09:15 AM: My husband and I stayed with Jerry this past weekend and had a great experience. Very nice place, delicious breakfast and outstanding host! Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove M.M. from St. Louis, MO on 09/06/2015 08:06 AM: Jerry, our host, is one of those genuine and kind countryfolk. The only restaurant in town is currently closed for renovation, so he made dinner for us as well. A retired veteran & policeman, he loves to socialize and was full of interesting stories to tell. He is practically a walking encyclopedia as well as a busy, active citizen. We found him quite entertaining. We also found him to be very resourceful and willing to go out of his way to be of help, as I had heat exhaustion and needed a Plan B. He referred me to a shuttle, was happy to drive me to Boonville where I could catch the shuttle to Jeff City. What a blessing! Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Libby & Roger from Berea, KY on 08/25/2015 07:46 PM: Jerry is a delightful host, so kind and generous. We arrived late to find all the Pilot Grove restaurants closed; Jerry offered to fix us supper! He shared interesting information about the Trail and the area. Our room was clean, comfortable, attractive. High recommendation! Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Dan from Nebraska City, NE on 08/19/2015 07:21 PM: Jerry is a most gracious and accommodating host and a very good cook. We had a great breakfast the morning before we left Pilot Grove. Everything Jerry provided for my friend and me (clean, comfortable rooms and bathroom; bicycle accessories; etc.) was top-notch, but he topped all of these when he, without hesitation, transported my friend and me more than an hour's drive when my wife had an accident in Nebraska that required hospitalization. Thanks, Jerry, you're a great guy and great host. Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Vic from Pawnee City Ne on 08/16/2015 06:20 PM: My friend had an emergency in his family during our stay at the Katy Junction. Our host, Jerry, didn't hesitate to give us a 60 mile ride to our vehicle in Clinton. He is a most hospitable and gracious host, and his B&B clean, comfortable, and very nicely furnished , and the breakfast was plentiful and delicious.... Thank you, Jerry! Katy Junction B&B in Pilot Grove Sean Swift from Sand Springs OK on 08/04/2015 01:29 PM: Accommodations were wonderful. Secure garage for bikes. Great breakfast! Jerry was interesting to talk to. We will return!Forum Discussions about Katy Junction B&B
over the phone, I wanted to get out of town for my birthday and I would traveling alone therefore, I only needed one bed, but I preferred to have my own bathroom. Fortunately, the Inn was not fully booked
just myself and a couple driving in from Oklahoma. I had the entire upstairs to myself. Jerry surprised me with a homemade birthday cake which the four of us enjoyed that evening. After a
Wonderful night's sleep in my private quarters, I came down for breakfast I was pleasantly surprised to see Jerry wearing starch white chef attire! Jerry served up a delicious breakfast of scrambled eggs and cheese,hash browns,sausage patties fresh fruit, toast,jam, juice, and coffee. The kind-hearted host wasn't finished yet, he presented me with a birthday card. When it was time to go, Jerry helped me with my bags. We hugged goodbye in the driveway. As I drove away I thought my
to myself, that was one of the best birthday's ever!
Highly recommend this BNB.
Looking forward to coming back. This was my 7th trip since 2012. We live 3 hours south of Clinton in Arkansas so it is a bit of a drive and always challenging to plan shuttle or Amtrak options.
Had a great time at Jerry's & it's everything you'd want in a B&B. It's super clean & charming inside. We opted for dinner & glad we did. To top it off, Jerry's a great cook. He made a salad just picked out of his garden, pork chops, & a nice desert topped with fresh fruit. Jerry's the type of guy that enjoys his guests & will give the shirt off his back if you're in need. Can't say enough.
We highly recommend Katy Junction B&B; Jerry clearly loves what he does and feels like our new friend.
The Katy Junction is very very clean and comfortable, and beautifully decorated. Jerry is a wealth of information on the house, the Booneslick area and the Katy Trail. After a great nights sleep my stay was capped off with a delicious breakfast
Just a superb stay!!
Bike storage, comfy beds, toiletries, hearty breakfast, full use of the lounge and screened porch. We walked across the road for dinner and arrived back to Jerry's dessert (banana pudding). Jerry is a wonderful host. He even gave us some leftover banana bread to take with us. Do not ride past this place!!
