   Lodging

This totally remodeled turn-of-the-century home which served as the original General Store to the Defiance Community is going to be your "home away from home" while touring the area.  Three separate apartment rental units, containing about 1,000 square-foot each, complete with full kitchens await your vacation fun. This lodging facility is steps from restaurants, a brewery, and the Katy Trail!

For those who would like to be closer to nature, Beyond The Trail RV Park is a great option!  Steps from the Katy Trail and a brewery, this 45-spot park offers beauty and convenience to explore town and all the region has to offer.  Make this your home base in Historic Missouri Wine Country!

Nestled in the heart of Defiance⁠—the Gateway to Missouri’s Historic Wine Region⁠—the Merry House Inn has gone through a complete renovation with no expense spared in providing all the modern conveniences and luxury that discriminating travelers today expect. High-count linens, premium king mattresses, spa-like bathrooms, gas fireplaces, and Beekman 1802 bath products are just a few of the amenities that have been added.

Built in 1802, this is one of the oldest and most historic homes in the Defiance area. The long history and interesting background of this house and central location, combined with its great hospitality and hot tub will keep you coming back.
