   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!

This former winery includes a restored guest house, a bunk house, and a large pavilion.  The guest house features a remodeled Interior.  The bunk house is a great value for those seeking area attractions.  The pavilion is a beautiful place to host large gatherings.  All three are near wineries, breweries, distilleries, and only steps from the Katy Trail.

Geared towards bicyclists on the Katy Trail, the Bunkhouse is in the former tasting room of an old winery.  Four bedrooms with Bunkbeds offer a "Glamping" experience with simple bedrooms, a Showerhouse next door, and secure bike storage in the BikeHouse.  Steps from the Katy Trail.

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.

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.

This cozy three bedroom, one bathroom whole house rental is just steps from the Katy Trail and a short walk to Sugar Creek Vineyards.  Enjoy the firepit on crisp fall nights.  This house sleeps six for your perfect getaway.

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!
