Notes from the host
Bank Haus
Built c. 1902 (or late 1800s, we aren't quite sure!), and containing 2 original walk-in vaults, the Bank Haus has been renovated to nearly its former glory.
Tin ceilings, hardwood floors, and a brand new oversized main level handicapped accessible master bathroom are only a few of the stunning features of the Bank Haus.
Bring your friends for a wine country getaway, ride the Katy Trail, or celebrate a wedding at one of the nearby wedding venues. Lake Creek Winery and Boone Monument Village are only 2 miles away.
Located on the Katy Trail in Marthasville, Missouri, the Bank Haus is in Missouri wine country and less than an hour from St. Louis.
Bike rentals are nearby, the best pizza in the county is steps from the door, and wineries are a short bike ride down the Katy Trail (or a 2 minute drive down the road).
USA Today Travel thinks we're pretty cool as well - The Bank Haus was featured as one of the coolest vacation rentals in the United States!
THE SPACE
The Bank Haus is 2 levels with the main level being handicapped accessible. It sleeps a total of 10 people and has 4 bedrooms, 2-1/2 bathrooms, and an open living, dining, and kitchen area, as well as a washer/dryer in a vault.
The Bank Haus is dog friendly for pre-approved dogs only.
For large groups, reserve both the Katy Haus and Bank Haus as they are next door to one another.
MAIN LEVEL
The living area on the main level is an open floor plan showcasing the tin ceilings and hardwood floors.
The great room has a luxury king size sleeper sofa and a pair of velvet green chairs. The dining area boasts an 8 foot antique dining table possibly from the United States Post Office.
The full kitchen has everything you need to make your own meals, including place settings, pots and pans, wine glasses, and both a Keurig and a regular coffee maker.
The main level bedroom has a stunning elegant king size bed with crisp white linens from The Distinguished Guest.
The full bathroom is handicapped accessible with grab bars, a shower seat, and a low profile shower.
The smaller vault is now a beauty bar, complete with mirrors and plenty of outlets for curling irons and blow dryers for getting ready for a wedding or a day at the local wineries.
The main level also has a small half bathroom with a working antique toilet and sink.
SECOND LEVEL
Up a flight of over 100 year old steep stairs, the 3 bedrooms each have exposed brick walls, natural light, and king size beds.
The front bedroom also amazing light, and the back bedroom has a bathroom with a shower.
