Boone's Lick Trail Inn

My husband and I found this place to be very charming! It was quaint and comfortable. The hosts had thought of everything you would need. It's located right in town. You can walk to eat and shop. ~We enjoyed our stay~

My wife and I were on the River Road tour and selected the Boones lick trail inn as our nightly stop. Our room was on the second floor in the back so we had privacy . Yet it just off the main street in down town and we had a river view. We loved the room and will look to spend another night when the opportunity presents itself.

What a find Boone's Lick Trail Inn was for us! My fiancee and I went on a trip to St. Charles, MO to celebrate a personal milestone she achieved. We were greeted with Prosecco and amazing, locally made chocolates (you can pre-order this and other treats when making your reservation). The wonderful innkeeper, Venetia, asked us to call ahead when we were about 15 minutes out, as the parking situation was potentially a bit confusing. The lot appears to be a defunct street, so it is roped off to prevent non-guests from parking in the lot. Sure enough, when we arrived, Venetia and her husband were out there to great us and they simply pulled the rope off one of the stanchions and we drove right in and parked. We left only once to drive to a couples' massage a few miles away and simply pulled the rope off (and put it back) ourselves. Easy as pie. Venetia also gave us a nice orientation on the Inn, the area, and things to see and do. We had Room #4 which was on the second floor in the rear part, just up the outdoor staircase. It was comfortable and cozy and married an old-world feel with modern amenities. In many ways, it was like taking a step back in time, but in the best possibe way! The bed was super comfortable and the shower in the bathroom was nice and hot - two of my main criteria for a room. A delightful covered porch overhangs the upstairs rooms. We wanted to cuddle under a blanket on the love seat there and people watch at night, but we did not find the time - there is so much to do and see! The location is excellent as well, as it is essentially at one end of old St. Charles. It is situated just off the Katy Trail and probably a three-minute walk to the excellent Lewis and Clark Museum. So many major historical events have happened literally within feet of this Inn. For meals, we'd suggest the Bike Stop Cafe (we had excellent breakfasts there), Novellus Bar (life-changing biscuits and gravy breakfast), Bella Vino Wine Bar & Tapas for dinner, and Lewis & Clark Restaurant. All were fantastic. We will certainly return to St. Charles, and we will certainly be staying at Boone's Lick Trail Inn again!

This place is amazing. We stayed in this Sears order home. The tub actually fits 2 people (very comfortable for my husband and I to relax in together). The owner was amazing and went above and beyond for us. She even made us a customer package. It was the perfect get away we needed. It was also nice to be able to walk around the historical at. Charles. We will be back

This place is a lovely place to stay! Linda is a wonderful and so thoughtful housekeeper. I told her that I needed extra cream and sugar in my room as I like to drink tea in the evening and lots of coffee in the morning and I came back from my conference to a carafe of cream on ice and a large assortment of teas in my room! And of course the room was all made up like it was when i arrived. If I were to visit st Charles again I'd definitely stay here again! It's close to tons of restaurants and shops and so much history. Thank you linda and venita for making this a memorable stay!

My mom and I did a mother/daughter weekend in St. Charles and we were very impressed with our stay at the BLT Inn. The historic charm, location and responsiveness from owner's was impeccable! We'd definitely stay there again :)

The inn is historically accurate. It is an amazing feeling to know you are standing in a place with so much early American history and development of our country. Spend some time with Venetia who can tell you the events of this 1843 building. We stayed in room 4 it had a cozy warm feeling, comfortable and next to fine shopping and dining. All the buildings are well preserved and the area has about 10 blocks of original cobblestone roads. The inn’s flowers are beautiful with great curb appeal. Venetia made us feel welcome and that are stay with her inn was important. We are staying 5 nights but after only 1 night i know when im very happy about my decision. You do not want to miss this experience.

The cabin was a lovely kit house with an amazing jetted tub for two. The owner was super helpful letting us store our bikes and giving us tips on restaurants to visit. The location is very close to the Katy trail which was great for us.
