Beekeeper's Cottage - Hot Tub, Heated Pool, Dog-friendly, Downtown

Inside the historical Locust Street District of Downtown Washington, Missouri, the Beekeeper's Cottage is rumored to have had Auggie Bush as a frequent visitor when the Cottage first opened as a vacation rental in the 1900s.

The Beekeeper's Cottage is a part of the exclusive collection of Missouri Haus vacation rental homes. Bring your mom and sisters for a wine country getaway, ride the Katy Trail, or celebrate a wedding at one of the nearby wedding venues. The Beekeeper's Cottage is in the heart of WashMo and Missouri wine country and less than an hour from St. Louis.

On the National Register of Historic Places as a part of the Locust Street Historical District, the renovated 1920 historical home is fully updated with modern amenities. With 3 bedrooms and 2-1/2 bathrooms, it sleeps a total of 8 people in 4 queen beds.

Over a century old, the fireplaces (nonworking), doors, woodwork, and hardwood floors have been refurbished, adding a beautiful charm to this brick home.

The Beekeeper's Cottage is dog friendly for pre-approved dogs only.

MAIN LEVEL

The living area on the main level is an open floor plan showcasing the fireplace centerpiece and hardwood floors. The leather sofa pulls out to a queen size sleeper.

From the living room and through the double sliding pocket doors is the dining area with a gorgeous hardwood dining table and seating for 6 people.

The beautifully detailed full kitchen has everything you need to make your own meals, including place settings, pots and pans, wine glasses, and a regular coffee maker.

SECOND LEVEL

Up a flight of 100 year old steep stairs, the upper level has all three bedrooms and both of the full bathrooms.

Bedroom 1 has a queen size bed with crisp white linens, a nonworking fireplace accent, and an en suite bathroom with gorgeous clawfoot tub and shower.

Bedroom 2 has two queen size beds, and Bedroom 3 has a queen size bed. These bedrooms share the second full bathroom. This bathroom has double pedestal sinks and a walk-in shower.

LAUNDRY and HALF BATH

The set of front loading washer and dryer is located off the kitchen by the back door. The half bath is also across the hall.

BACKYARD, SWIMMING POOL, HOT TUB

The fenced backyard is a treat with the shared hot tub and heated swimming pool of the Mill Haus next door. Note that the fence encloses the backyard for both the Beekeeper's Cottage and the Mill Haus, and there is no fence separating the yards nor an additional inside fence around the swimming pool.

*Pool is open May through September weather permitting -- and it is heated!
**Hot tub is open year round!

Dogs are welcome in the yard, but not in the hot tub or swimming pool.

GAME ROOM ABOVE GARAGE

The game room above the garage is not included in the listed rate but is available for an additional charge of $50 per night plus a $35 cleaning fee. The rate is times the number of nights of your stay even if you use it for only one night.

The game room can be added to your stay and is available to both the Beekeeper's Cottage and the Mill Haus on a first-come-first-serve basis. It will not be shared, but the 1/2 bath in the garage is available to all guests using the swimming pool.

EXCLUSIVE USE OF THE HOT TUB, POOL, GAME ROOM, and BACKYARD

Exclusive use of the hot tub, heated swimming pool, game room, and backyard is only available when you book both the Beekeeper's Cottage and the Mill Haus together -- the houses together are referred to as the Bees Knees.

LOCATION

Sitting on a classic tree-lined downtown residential street, the Beekeeper's Cottage is only a few blocks from the riverfront and all the best cafes, restaurants, local pubs, and boutique shops in downtown Washington as well as the festival zone.

The Missouri River, the Amtrak Station, and the Riverfront Park, are an easy stroll or bike ride from the house.

Love the bee theme!
Beautiful home! My girls loved their rooms. It was great having our dog stay with us for our spring break too! The game room add on was totally worth it. We had a relaxing stay. Perfect outdoor space for us as well. Enjoyed a fire and s’mores and hot tub too! Only things that would have made it better- more lounge seating in the main space, nightlights for the girls rooms, and baking pans. I had to run out and buy a pan to make brownies. Our number combo wasn’t working on the door at Checkin, but I called the number and was helped right away. Overall great getaway! I would come back in the summer months when the pool is open and maybe stay in the bigger home that shares the pool. Thank you for sharing your home! Our family made a lot of great memories together!

Beautiful historic home in a great area makes for a great weekend.
We stayed at this listing for my mother-in-law's birthday and it was fantastic! The house was gorgeous, the host was wonderful and very responsive - the gifts they provided us were so kind and thoughtful. The pool was clean and made for the perfect weekend. We had a great time and it made for a wonderful weekend away!

Beautiful, historic home in great location.
Stayed here with a few friends over Labor Day weekend. The home was clean and comfortable and we enjoyed the pool. Lots of nice extra touches from the owner - like leaving us a welcome gift of a charcuterie board, bottle of wine, and packet of coffee. Appreciated that there were beach towels for the pool and a float available as well. House is walking distance from the little downtown and river area. My only watchout is to look closely at all the extra charges on top of the room rate, they quickly add up so review carefully to avoid surprises.

Mom and Daughter week
This is the second time we have stayed at one of Nat and Tyanns properties. They are excellent hosts responding immediately to any communication. Ashley let us know as soon as the property was available for checkin and then messaged back to see if there was anything we needed. The properties are immaculately cleaned and absolutely gorgeous. The minute we stepped into the house it felt like home. The home is decorated beautifully all the way down to each tiny detail. We stayed in the property with the swimming pool and totally enjoyed ourselves. The neighborhood is very quiet and with the yard being completely fenced and the beautiful landscaping, we truly felt like we were on vacation. We talked about Renting this property again for a “girls” family reunion, it would be perfect. We visited the downtown area and actually met the neighbors across the street at the antique shop. Everyone downtown was extremely friendly. We had a small issue with one of the doors and when I contacted Nat he responded immediately. A maintenance man arrived quickly and fixed the situation and he too was so friendly and easy to talk to. My mom and I would highly recommend these properties whether you are a small or a large group. These properties are definitely the first ones we will check when we return to Washington.

Beautiful, relaxing, and highly recommended
This house was perfect for a weekend getaway. The hosts checked on us through text when we arrived and promptly answered any questions. The house was super clean and super cute. Great for adults and kids. The pool and hot tub are wonderful. You will enjoy every minute of this place. We were literally looking for another time to be able to come back as we were relaxing by the pool!
